Item Description

Get rid of that mommy tummy! MommyTummy can help! This 45 minute private session focuses on strengthening the core muscles from the deepest layers up.

Do you still look pregnant months after you’ve had your baby? Is there a “pooch” in your belly that just won’t go away? You may have diastasis recti, a common condition involving separation of the abdominal muscles. During pregnancy, the uterus expands and puts pressure on the connective tissue that joins the two sides of the rectus abdominus muscle, causing them to come apart. While the problem often remedies itself after pregnancy, many women continue to experience a gap in the abdominal muscles even after the baby is born. Diastasis recti decreases the functional strength of the abdominal wall and can cause low back pain and pelvic floor instability.

Treatment of diastasis recti involves specific exercises that target the transverse abdominus, our deepest core muscle. Once this muscle is strong, it acts like a corset and pulls everything in tight, thus eliminating the “pooch” in the belly. It is also important to avoid certain exercises, such as planks and crunches, which can actually make the separation worse. With proper training using the MommyTummy technique, the gap can be lessened or closed, and you can have the flat, pre-baby belly you always wanted.
