What is Diastasis?

Diastasis Rectus Abdominis (DRA) refers to the thinning and widening of the connective tissue (linea alba) in the midline abdominal wall.

It is common during and after pregnancy and should be considered relatively normal unless it is significant and does not resolve postpartum.

Some women notice that their midline bulges or points when they do certain movements such as sitting up from lying down. Others complain of a “mummy tummy” or pendular abdomen which compromises their body image and self-confidence.

While DRA should not be feared and has no serious consequences, it can impact abdominal strength and function if you are unable to continue your usual forms of activity and exercise. Gráinne created an e-book for more information which can be purchased here.
