Diastasis Recti

I know some other ladies on the board have this (your abdomen muscles don't come back together after pregnancy).

I've started seeing a physical therapist for mine and I totally recommend it.  But she wants me to wear Under Armour Core shorts from the moment I get up to the moment I go to bed to "smoosh" everything together and give me extra support.  They are $44.99 and you can find them at some Sports Authority and you want them to be really fit.  You can also get them on Amazon.

Just wanted to share this tip to other Moms.  I just got mine today.  Not comfortable but I'm going to do what is needed to help fix this problem.

    I've been thinking about you and have been wondering how your treatment had been going.  Thanks for your tip.  Would you recommend your PT? I'm not quite sure who to contact in this field for this.

    My PT is AMAZING!!!  I go to Back 2 Motion off Chamblee Tucker exit ramp and see Melissa.  They do some of the cutting edge work and I feel great.

    I don't think I should recommend exercises as these are tailored specifically for me and my condition and I don't want to tell you something that may harm you.  But I highly recommend PT.

    Oh, they also take Blue Cross Blue Shield.

    thanks for posting.  I so need this.  I'm going to have my ob confirm next month, but I do think I have this.  I've been doing lots of ab work and my stomach will look better for a bit and then it will look worse than before. I think the sit-ups are making my condition worse.
