If you want to work at improving diastasis and core strength at belly button…
You need to learn managing pressure, coordination, and load together.
This is how I approach it 👇
First, learn to breathe.
If you can’t control your breath, you can’t control pressure… and that pressure keeps pushing into your gap.
Then, we work on rib + pelvis movement.
Not because mobility “fixes” diastasis,
but because a stiff system has no option except to push pressure outward.
Next, we stack and coordinate.
Teaching ribs, core, and pelvis to work together so pressure is managed, not dumped at the belly button.
Then comes the part most people skip… load.
We build from lying → side → hands & knees → upright (like Pallof press)
So your core can actually hold under real life.
❗️About balloon breathing:
▶️ It’s not for everyone. It’s an overload tool.
▶️ Use it if you already have good control.
▶️ Avoid if you’re still seeing doming or can’t control your ribs yet.
❗️Also, if fat loss is part of your goal, reducing excess abdominal fat can decrease the constant outward pressure on your abdominal wall, making it easier for your core to manage load and for your waistline to look tighter as function improves.
▶️ Start simple:
2–3 sets × 3–5 slow reps
Progress to:
30-60 sec holds reps
This isn’t about “closing the gap.”
It’s about building a system that can handle pressure.
