Amazing! I have believed exactly what you are saying here. I have been plagued with back problems and abdominal bulging. As an adult I worked moving heavy objects and freight. The doctors just always told me I didn't have a hernia. I have had this bulging since I was a skinny child. No matter how many crunches or abdominal exercises I did, it never improved. Now I focus on exercises for my transverse and obliques and my back pain is lessening. This information is music to my ears. Thank you!

Wow! Iifted weights through my 20's and into my 30's.Plus I did a lot of running and core work. Then I started driving vans and trucks for a living in my mid 30's but still did a fair bit of lifting. I am 59 yo now and people think I am fat because if this Diastis Recti, my stomach is rock hard but I have put on two shirt sizes the last 5 years. Crazy stuff!

[@IvanaChapman]

Good points! I've had two male clients in the past couple of years who suffer from Diastasis Recti.

She has a calming voice, but wish she had more visuals to see as she spoke in the background.

Thank you for your feedback. We will keep that in mind for our next set of videos.

At last an explanation to make me understand the large lump protruding above my navel why it may have been caused and information about how to deal with it, thank you so much. I was an on call engineer and drove hundreds of miles every week for years, I was also doing core exercises to reduce my bloated stomach which I now understand made it worse. I have now retired (68 yrs young) and play 4 rounds of golf every week, walking no buggy and I could not understand why I still had this large bloated stomach unfortunately I am in the UK but I will now seek the correct help.

Hi Robert. I'm so happy you have found us as a resource. We actually help international clients all the time. We are 100% online now so I would recommend our Core Foundations for Men Program and an abdominal rehab splint. We recently reduced all of our online prices to make it more affordable to access the care people need. We also offer eSessions with clients and would be happy to do an eSession before the course to answer questions and guide you in the best way to proceed or after you've started a course to help guide you through your rehab process Please feel free to let us know if you have any additional questions.

I had a keyhole decompression and laminectomy in May 2019 I had severe facet arthritis, it has enabled me to keep walking, but my back is very stiff and have chronic pain, and since the op my abdomen has bulged out very big. Diastasis Recti diagnosed but they think not hernia. I am 68, obese and would like to solve the diastasis non surgically

[@ThetummyteamWA]

I’ve had a bloated stomach for years. I had a fundoplication when I was younger. It involves cutting through the abdomen for acid reflux. My stomach has just been worse since. I’m always bloated. It’s worse when I’ve eaten but I do have a noticeable bloated stomach. Could this be the cause? No one has ever given me an answer.

[@ThetummyteamWA]

Hi. Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us. Any kind of abdominal surgery can leave you more vulnerable to a Diastasis Recti. We have another video that teaches you how to assess yourself for one here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJ2zdZKPbdqEp7c Let us know if this was helpful and don't hesitate to reach out if you have additional questions.

[@TommyH101]

what does it mean if ive been for a scan confirmed no hernia and 1 finger disastis recti gap only, but following training and sitting down I feel some discomfort? and a very stressful period for me many thanks

[@ThetummyteamWA]

The reality is, even if you don't have a significant diastasis, you can still have functional core weakness which can result in the symptoms you're describing. I would recommend looking into our Core Foundations for Men program here: online.thetummyteam.com/core-foundations-for-men

[@TommyH101]

@N N pretty sure no hernia n its disastis recti I to have bought a belt which i feel helps mentally that notes gonna pop out. I have t managed to find any exercises I'm not sure u can close the gap without surgery mine is 1 finger gap urs?

[@TommyH101]

@N N that's good news 1 finger gaps normal ive discovered my pain has been something else recently. I think u dont need to panic if its 1 cm n nothings popping out n staying out . Think just do workouts that dont irritate it n keep on with exercises nice work n training belt is good just for mental sanity n lift without stressing I dont lift heavy any longer tho. Mod weight high rep

[@cliveturner4980]

what a waste of time !!!!!!!!

[@ThetummyteamWA]

Is there any information we didn't cover in this video that you're looking for?

[@cherylmacneil4602]

This is too long, and wordy for men, and men want to hear from men, and need a more visual presentation.

[@utubepunk]

Speak for yourself. I enjoyed the thoroughness & want to hear from an expert, be they man or woman.
