✨ My Diastasis Recti Healing Update (Real & Unfiltered) ✨
Immediately postpartum, I had about a 4-finger width diastasis recti. (First video was 9 days postpartum)
Now, at almost 3 weeks postpartum, I’m closer to a 1-finger width 👏 (Second video is today, 18 days postpartum)
And no—this wasn’t from crunches, planks, or “ab workouts.”
Here’s what I’ve been focusing on:
🫁 Breathing exercises to reconnect with my deep core
🌸 Pelvic floor + breath coordination (they’re meant to work together!)
🧠 RAPID neurofascial reset along my linea alba to help restore connection between body and nervous system.
But here’s the most important part 👇
👉 Closing the gap is not the main goal.
👉 Function is the goal ‼️
You can have a small gap and still have poor core function, pain, or leaking.
And you can have a wider gap with great strength, control, and stability.
✨ Core function > aesthetic closure
✨ Connection > intensity
✨ Healing > rushing the process
If you’re immediately postpartum (or years postpartum!), gentle, intentional work can make a HUGE difference—your body isn’t broken, and it’s never too late to reconnect with your core.
