DR Correction

Closing the Abdominal Gap Safely & Effectively

Diastasis Recti Abdominis (DRA) is the separation of the left and right sides of the rectus abdominis muscle, common during and after pregnancy. This separation occurs due to the thinning and stretching of the linea alba (connective tissue). At AL-INSHAAN PHYSIO CARE, we offer a specialized Diastasis Recti Correction program. Traditional crunches and planks can often worsen the gap; instead, we focus on deep transverse abdominis (TVA) activation and pelvic floor coordination.

Our clinical physical therapists perform detailed measurements of your gap width and depth, assessing fascia integrity and core pressure management. Our targeted, safe exercises help restore abdominal wall function, prevent lower back strain, and close the separation safely.

Why Targeted Core Rehabilitation Matters

Healing Diastasis Recti requires specialized guidance to ensure that intra-abdominal pressure is managed correctly during movements and exercises, avoiding strain on recovering connective tissue.

• Measurement and diagnostic tracking of the abdominal separation gap
• Neuromuscular re-education of the transversus abdominis muscle
• Abdominal wrapping and bracing techniques for support during recovery
• Coordinated pelvic floor and diaphragmatic breathing training
• Modification protocols for daily movements (sitting up, lifting baby)
• Lumbar spine stabilization to reduce compensatory back strain
• Customized home exercise plans focused on progressive abdominal tissue loading
• Education on exercises to avoid (crunches, heavy twisting) during healing
