THAT TUMMY BULGE MAY NOT BE “JUST FAT.” Have you noticed a bulge, doming or ridge along the middle of your abdomen when you sit up, cough or exercise? It could be DIASTASIS RECTI — a condition where the connective tissue between the abdominal muscles becomes stretched and the two sides of the rectus abdominis move farther apart. 🚩 LOOK OUT FOR: • Midline abdominal bulging or “doming” • Feeling of a weak or unstable core • Difficulty returning to exercise • Lower-back discomfort • Poor posture or difficulty with certain movements • Changes in abdominal shape after pregnancy 💜 HOW CAN PHYSIOTHERAPY HELP? A physiotherapist can assess your abdominal wall, breathing pattern, core function, posture and movement and design an individualized rehabilitation program. Physiotherapy may help you: ✓ Improve deep-core muscle activation ✓ Improve abdominal wall function ✓ Restore strength and movement control ✓ Improve posture and body mechanics ✓ Return safely to exercise and daily activities ✓ Manage associated discomfort ✓ Build confidence in your body again ❌ DON’T SELF-DIAGNOSE. The size of the abdominal gap is only one part of the picture. How your abdominal wall functions matters too. 🌸 YOUR BODY DESERVES AN ASSESSMENT, NOT JUDGMENT.
