Today we are talking with Dr. Jared Beckstrand (a postpartum physical therapist) about an article that was published that claimed that if you did this one exercise daily that it would heal diastasis recti.
We wanted to know Dr. Jared's professional opinion about this and if this was the single best exercise for Diastasis Recti (or ab separation that women commonly experience after pregnancy).
Dr. Jared Beckstrand is a doctor of physical therapy that specializes in postpartum rehab.

⭐ FAQ's:
► How soon can I start these exercises postpartum?
Every body and every pregnancy is so different (and so is every delivery!). Jared always recommends talking with your doctor or midwife before starting any exercise postpartum. Many times it's safe to start posterior pelvic tilt and belly breathing around 2 weeks postpartum, and then slowly work in the other exercises as it feels best for you. Go slow, give yourself grace, and recognize that it took 9 months to grow a child and it will take time to heal and rehab your body as well.
► How often should I do these exercises?
These exercises are safe to do everyday - in fact, Jared recommends 4-7 times a week to see the best results. The key is going to be consistency. The more frequently you can work your deep core, the faster it will become strong.
►How do I know if I have diastasis recti?
100% of women have DR at the end of their pregnancy, 2/3 of all women have DR at 6 weeks postpartum and 1/3 of all women have DR 1 year after their baby is born.
► My youngest baby is now 10 years old (or older!) Will these exercises still work for me?
YES. You can still heal diastasis recti, even if it's been years since you had a baby. Core strength is CRUCIAL for everyone (men and women), but especially postpartum women, regardless of how long it's been since you had your baby.
