3 Exercises To Reduce Diastasis Recti | Taught By Physical Therapist

[@reytrevino8284]

Will try them. My surgeons told me that I didn't need surgery but didn't tell me how to repair it with exercises either.

[@ericpayton5103]

Same here

[@Dan-ln4fe]

Until it gets worse I guess. I am skinny and the doctor told me the same, but recently I have some top center abdominal pain and burping frequently.

[@SnowyBlizzard]

@@Dan-ln4fe heartburn from reflux?

[@Aria-Invictus]

I went to several doctors and none of them told me I mean fixing it non-surgically. all he says there are means do it but then go into any detail and just dropped the subject.

[@tamuccal1]

Exactly the same here but possibly worse. I’ve been suffering from this condition for over 20 years because this usually happens to women and none of my doctors ever diagnosed me with this condition. I had been doing crunches and other exercises that only exacerbated the condition. No one ever told me how to fix the condition even after I was diagnosed with it. I am just now starting my recovery. I feel cheated of so many years of health.

[@karenfrommichigan]

I'm glad YT suggested this video. I've tried exercises even from past PT visits after my first kid and it wasn't comfortable. It's harder now since my 2nd kid. This will help me so much! Thank you!

[@enlightenhope9219]

I actually love that he has a real stomach, like the rest of us! 😭👏🙌🙌❤️

[@delbertbragdon8953]

Thanks for this video. I have this, and I think it's inheritable because two of my children have it also. It's very frustrating because they are all athletic, and no matter how hard they work out, when they bend back, they have that "dome'. I will share these exercises with them.

[@candilocs84]

That third exercise is a killer! This is what I’ve been looking for! Thank you!

[@RehabRevive]

So glad you liked it!

[@maribelcaudillo258]

Thank you Dr. Lyn. There is a lot of info. on diastasis recti, but few or none on what to do about it. You were the first one I found. PS. Your video is funny! 😂😂

[@Treyefverv]

Just started today, I’m a 39 year old man with a 2-3 inch diastis recti. Updates to come.

Hi, how it is going about your Diastasis ? Did this video help you?

[@zebrapleco7895]

Any progress?

[@marianna1513]

Can I do this 3 years after having my baby? And will it close?

[@tinaal-shimmari3540]

Excellent techniques to work those neglected/weaken muscles you are brilliant!!

[@megangreen7640]

I've had this issue for 4 years due to pregnancy and weight gain. I'll try this

[@keristonfitzgerald6514]

I'm glad I found this video. When you mentioned acid reflux I knew I was in the right place

[@dleonardo3238]

I have it as a man. Never been fat. Just got it since I was a kid

[@Aria-Invictus]

did you fix it?

[@nightwolf9951]

Any updates?

[@cecilchampenois4998]

Yep, I am a man and I have diastasis recti. It happened in my 50's. I really need to reverse this. It was, frankly, eating too much. I really need help. I am tired of my belly hanging over my belt buckle.

[@CAMEALEWJB]

That’s it wow well my stomach abdominal is really warmer now

[@freecourseministries4155]

That’s the point

[@NobdyInfinite]

Thanks for the info. Will put into practice.

[@lanceu8693]

i'm thinking time is best spent with exercise three. The first two are just massages. Im sure that has an effect, but I feel (actually feel when doing the three) that the third clearly will have an effect. So why spend time doing the first two, when that time can be spent with more time on #3? I'd rather take 10 mins on 3 a day, than 5 mins on each one and probably would get better results IMO on the 10 mins on 3 and 0 and 1 and 2. I'm really glad I found this. I'm going to try it a month and see what happens.

[@muzirocks]

Suggest how men can fix diastasis recti. Or make a video for men i recently diagnosed with it and none of the doctors are suggesting anything to fix this up.

[@mirellaparise6376]

Are we engaging our core on that third move?

[@joekingsley771]

Holy cow!!! It works. I noticed a bulge in my stomach whenever i sat up in bed. I did these exercises one time and it made an immediate norlticeable difference. I will keep doing it

[@RehabRevive]

Yessss

[@elviscanadien2895]

I am a male and I was told by two surgeons not to repair it, as it’s an unsuccessful surgical procedure.

[@niecynyciecy7538]

@rehabandrevive how long do you do these exercises? Weeks? Month's?

[@RobertWilliamson-ff1ym]

I do heavy lifting at work and also drink too much beer/alcohol. I'm worried it's going to be a hernia. But just tried the the exercises and found them very easy to do but will contact my GP when I can

[@jaxxtheviking]

I went to a doctor for this thinking it was a hernia had a stomach surgery and my muscles didn’t heal properly when I got diagnosed they said exercise didn’t tell me exactly what to do tho so thank you

[@bagchihdc397]

One doctor advised to wrap your belly with a towel for doing these exercises to avoid further stretching and gap widening of Diastasis recti muscles.. Your suggestion please.

[@QBee79]

Tbh I bought a belly wrap and it just caused me to feel uncomfortable and increased abdominal pressure 😅 I disagree with a wrap. Consistency with physio works though

[@JJJobson]

Is this repairable with these exercises? I do have a bulge that comes out if I try to sit up while laying on my back. Looks like the end of a football. Has to be what it is

[@vipulanand1292]

Abdominal hernia... Get it checked

[@brandyr772]

Yes, hernias can cause serious harm, I would check with a doctor to make sure m.

[@hueimo]

does this work for 20 years after giving birth and just had a TUMMy tuck but didn't fix the diastasis recti problem? thanks

[@LocksmithDVD]

Thanks for the good ideas. How often should one do the exercises? How many times (repetitions) for the knee lift? Thanks

[@bigdaddyshane]

That was my question. How many reps, how many sets and how many times per week?

[@LTzEz03z]

I am a Crohn's patient. Dx for 20 years. Two ABD recestiona and have three finger wide D.R. None of my Drs care about. I now have a umbilical hernia from my most recent resection. I also put on 50lbs after my last resection. My guts were finally doing the job, but I've gotten fat. One surgeon wants to mesh nearly whole belly and says that will fix the D.R. as well as my hernia. But I don't know where to go for a second opinion.

[@lenoredavi6137]

Research the potential complications of mesh.... you may decide against it. There's a lot that can go wrong over time.... mainly fascia issues and chronic pain from what l have read.

[@avrilmoulds6088]

Did you find a solution? I’m the same. Surgery and a J Pouch. Found as I’ve lost weight it’s helped but still have diastasis recti bulging. I am determined to get rid naturally. Just wondering if you found any other solutions. I’ve been advised to look at yoga.

[@FGhosh]

how can i contact u sir? i have a problem in my abdominal muscels and i need ur help.

[@matthall6974]

Can't afford surgery. Considered cosmetic. Will do these. Thanks!

[@SS-Sna]

I dint understand the 3rd one.. is it only to keep in tht tiger position only?

[@5zazen]

How do you differentiate pelvic floor dysfunction in the groin vs. inguinal hernia stemming from years of daily oblique weighted crunches? No bulges just 3mm swelling both sides of pubic bone also affecting bladder. Still able to lift 495 for reps on deadlifts yet crunches make symptoms worse. I ask because the talk today implies hernia. My urologist thinks overactive pelvic floor(only symptom is bladder/testicular pain), childs pose and happy baby stretches help along with ultrasound on lower stomach for pain.

[@Fixyourfatigue]

It may be worth seeing a pelvic floor physical therapist regardless

[@miguelianatv5801]

I have this and I have no problem's because of it, however I am a bodybuilder and it is really bad that i have this since it is not aesthetic at all. What should I do? How long does the surgery keep me away from training? And can I fix this while lifting weights as well?

[@potrelviewer9536]

I literally have zero ounce of strength in my core/glutes muscles, thanks to a big decade of being sedentary. I'm still able to walk and use a couple flight of stairs, but any other functional exercise in any body region is totally undoable, also thanks to a complete lack of coordination between my lungs and my main muscles. I'm not trying to become the next Hulk Hogan, but I only want to be able to do the most basic exercises, and if possible, appraise the "beginner" movements.
