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.
Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main goal of the treatment: Strengthen the abdominal muscles to reduce the diastasis.
- Perform exercises to strengthen the core muscles, such as planks, pelvic tilts, and bridges.
- Perform exercises to strengthen the transverse abdominis muscles, such as pelvic floor exercises.
- Perform exercises to strengthen the rectus abdominis muscles, such as crunches and sit-ups.
- Perform exercises to strengthen the oblique muscles, such as side bends and twists.
- Perform exercises to stretch the abdominal muscles, such as cobra pose and cat-cow pose.
- Perform exercises to improve posture, such as shoulder rolls and chest stretches.

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.
