Diastasis Recti with right hip pain.

Hams stretching. Hot Fomentation.

The primary diagnostic test for DRA is to perform a gentle abdominal examination to note the degree of separation of the abdominal muscle. Your physical therapist will also assess factors, such as your posture, back, and hip movement (range of motion), and muscle strength. Some guidelines I suggest you are as follows: Postural Training: Improving postural control is one of the most important components of treatment for women who are dealing with DRA. Your physical therapist will help you learn how to stabilize your core, without overuse of the rectus abdominus muscle. This will involve training your other core muscles, such as your transverse abdominus (a deep abdominal muscle), and your pelvic floor muscles. Your physical therapist will show you how to perform daily activities, such as lifting and carrying your baby, while using proper posture. Stretching: When certain muscles become weak and overstretched, other muscles may become overactive and tight. Your physical therapist will help you learn which of your muscles needs to be gently stretched to improve your strength and posture. Bracing: Sometimes taping or bracing of the low back and abdominal region can provide soothing external support for women with DRA in the early phases of rehabilitation. It can also help teach you the proper position for your midsection, as it provides support and decreases any pain you may be feeling. Education: There are factors that you may not even know about relating to your pain or movement challenges that your physical therapist can help resolve. Your physical therapist can help you understand the movements or activities that are best to avoid, as you recover from DRA. (For example, women suffering from DRA should not perform traditional sit-ups or crunches.) Your physical therapist will be able to teach you safe and effective ways to regain your full function.

Starting a core and pelvic-floor muscle stabilization program is highly effective in improving function.The sooner you start the better is for you.

You should know the different positions and movements that you should avoid, and try to maintain proper posture when lifting your child and when breastfeeding. You can wear a soft belt around your midsection for use during the first several weeks of your rehabilitation program,it provides little extra support and make other muscles stronger.

Advanced physiotherapy along with abdominal muscles strengthening exercises would help.

avoid lifting weights, squatting, forward bending, sitting on the floor etc
