⛓️‍💥 Abdominal Diastasis

There’s a lot more awareness about abdominal diastasis, which is fantastic - but there are still many misconceptions about core training during pregnancy and the postnatal period.

In recent years, growing evidence has highlighted the importance of continuing core strengthening throughout pregnancy and beginning early rehabilitation postpartum. As always, this should be individualised, which is why it’s so valuable to work with an up-to-date women’s health physio or a pre/postnatal-qualified personal trainer.

Key points to remember:
- Diastasis is a normal adaptation of pregnancy.
- By 37 weeks, 100% of pregnant women will have a diastasis.
- Exercise during pregnancy can help reduce inter-recti distance.
- Early postpartum core rehab is important and can begin as soon as you feel ready, with appropriate guidance.

💥 There are how many muscles in the pelvic floor?! 🤯

Most people think the pelvic floor is one muscle...

Here’s a breakdown of the VIP lineup ⬇️

🟣 Pubococcygeus
🟢 Iliococcygeus
🔵 Puborectalis
🟠 Ischiococcygeus (aka Coccygeus)
🟡 Piriformis
🔴 Obturator internus

Pelvic floor dysfunction isn’t something you just have to live with - if you’re experiencing issues like incontinence, heaviness, or pain, reach out to a women’s health physio (like me!)

✨ How to Do a Pelvic Floor Contraction (the right way) ✨

Your pelvic floor is more than just a “squeeze.” It’s about connection, breath, and awareness. Here’s how to engage it:

1️⃣ Get your breath right
Start by breathing into your rib cage and belly - not just your chest. On your inhale, feel your belly expand. On the exhale, gently feel it draw back in.

2️⃣ Find the pelvic floor
Think of the muscles you’d use to stop urine mid-flow or hold in wind. That’s your pelvic floor! Try gently activating that area without clenching your glutes or thighs.

3️⃣ Connect to your breath
Inhale: soften and release the pelvic floor.
Exhale: gently lift and engage it - like drawing the muscles up and in.

4️⃣ Use visualization 🧠
Try these cues:
🌸 “Close the petals of a flower and pick up the bud”

✨ Small, subtle, and smart. Practice daily for deeper core strength, control, and connection.
