Episode 68 - Do You Have a Diastasis and Not Know It?

Form, Function and Flow Lab with Dr. Kate

In this week’s episode of Form, Function, and Flow Lab, I talked about the in-person workshops we’ve been doing at the office for the past month. One of the workshops is about diastasis recti last weekend.

I wanted to talk about this in this podcast because I have gathered from seeing patients in my office that many people have Diastasis Recti and they do not even know it. They may have struggled for years from low back, and hip pain, and they might have been told that they have a weak core. However, not knowing if you have Diastasis Recti and jumping into core work blindly could lead to more issues.

In this episode we discuss:

[00:35] Introduction to the topic

[4:27] The first thing we did during the Diastasis workshop

[6:17] How asymmetries can affect you

[8:47] What to work on first if you have Diastasis Recti

[11:20] What is the next step for dealing with Diastasis Recti

[15:51] Knowing where your weakness lies to help with Diastasis Recti

[16:54] Conclusion

If you have any questions, you can drop it in the comment section or you can send me a message through Facebook or Instagram. I’d be happy to do another podcast about your questions. Also, if you want me to talk about something specific, let me know!

You can also check my TikTok account as I use the platform to educate viewers about movement, chiropractic education, yoga, pregnancy, and more!

Thank you for listening and see you next week!
