Whilst your baby or babies grew in your abdomen, the muscles at the front of your belly were pushed out and apart. About 3 months after the birth of your baby, the muscles should have returned back together.
Studies have shown that in about 39% of women the muscles do not come back together. Known as a diastasis, our routine health care providers rarely check for this condition. Left unchecked it can develop and cause problems in the long term, including herniation and lower back pain.
Let our physical therapist Ciarán Aherne check your abdominal muscles and we can let you know if your abdomen has healed. If the condition does exist we have a simple treatment programme to bring the muscles back together.
