Postpartum Core Rehab

Diastasis Recti
You may have heard women talk about “mommy tummy,” “the pooch,” or “mom belly” when referring to a stubborn bulge or doming in the middle of the abdomen post-baby. What these terms actually describe is the effect of diastasis recti abdominis (DRA). So, what is DRA?
