What Does Diastasis Recti Look Like?

appearance of it differs from person to person. Quite often a
diastasis recti goes unnoticed, without painful symptoms, or even
worse, is seen as a personal flaw, especially with women
postpartum.

Rectus abdominis separation can lead to a stomach bulge (aka
stomach pooch), pelvic floor issues, unnatural posture, and
stomach and back pain. The symptoms of diastasis recti include
but are not limited to:


Abdominal Bulge

Abdominal Gaping

Lower Back Pain

Sensation of Bloatedness without Bloat

Incontinence

Poor Posture

Constipation & Bloat

Doming or invagination of the linea alba when performing
crunches or other traditional ab exercises

Difficulty with everyday activities due to a lack of core
function



Unless you have a low body fat percentage or have an overly toned
core with a visible 6-pack, it is very hard to diagnose a
diastasis recti on appearance alone. The linea alba lies beneath
the fat layer of your abdomen, so it cannot be seen. Many people
have a diastasis recti for years before learning they have it.
