Diastasis of muscle - what does this mean

Diastasis of muscle is a condition where the muscles that normally lie close together separate due to stretching or weakening of the connective tissue between them. it commonly occurs in the abdominal muscles, but can also happen in other muscles of the body. it is most common in pregnant women, but can also occur in people who are overweight or have had abdominal surgery.

What happens during the disease - diastasis of muscle

Diastasis of muscle is a condition caused by weakening of the connective tissue between two muscles. this weakening can be caused by repetitive strain, trauma, or pregnancy, and can lead to a separation of the muscles from one another. this weakening can cause pain, weakness, and difficulty in movement. treatment typically involves physical therapy, bracing, and exercises to strengthen the weakened muscles and connective tissue.

Diastasis of muscle - Prevention

Diastasis of muscle can be prevented by engaging in regular exercise that focuses on strengthening the core muscles, maintaining a healthy weight, and avoiding activities that involve excessive strain on the abdominal muscles, such as heavy lifting or strenuous exercise. additionally, it is important to practice proper posture and body mechanics when lifting objects or performing activities.
