Diastasis Recti (DR) is a separation of the two sides of the rectus abdominis (the “six-pack” muscles) along the midline of the abdomen. It can occur during pregnancy, postpartum, or even from poor core engagement over time. Both men and women can have DR. Most providers don’t know how to properly test for DR, which means many people have it and don’t even realize it!
