Diastasis and Pelvic Girdle Pain

If you have been diagnosed with Diastasis Recti or DR it can be a really unsettling time. How do you fix a gap in your tummy?

First of all, it is worth saying you have done nothing wrong, you are not to blame!  We see women who think they have worked out too much, not been active enough, gained too much weight, not gained enough weight.  

STOP – this is something that happens to all pregnant women! As baby grows our rectus abdominals must separate to allow that growth.  Very rarely a woman does not get a DR.  

The issue is how do we recover and get the DR to reduce and heal.  

The Hypopressive technique uses breath work and an abdominal vacuum to lift and strengthen the pelvic floor whilst activating the connective tissue in the core to reduce the DR. The positions we teach also help improve posture which is a big factor in how to recover from DR, the better the posture the quicker the recovery times.  

This technique combined with pelvic strength and Pilates can also help recovery from Pelvic Gridle pain and regain stability.

“Sarah and Lizzie have helped me, improve my posture, improve my blood pressure, my stress incontinence is gone and so have the panty liners, I have my body shape back, I have a waist again and I am stronger in my mind and body” – Mary

Ready?

If you would like to start your rehab we offer consultation packages to suit everyone.

All of our packages include an initial one hour consultation where we discuss in detail your current symptoms and diagnosis if you have been given one, your biggest concerns, what you want to achieve and then complete a posture and breathing assessment to establish where you are now.

We then teach you the Hypopressive breathing technique as a base exercise to get you working straight away on the issues that have bought you to us today.

Our 1-1 coaching sessions are progressive sessions taking you step by step through training that we know will help you achieve your goals. This will include further Hypopressive training to really understand how this improves strength and build positive habits with this amazing technique, but we don’t stop there, we create an exercise plan based on your personal needs and goals. This could be to help release a tight pelvic floor or build strength around the glutes and lower back to support your pelvic area. Each session is tailored specifically for you, your needs and your ability.

We have three training options for you, take a look below.

It’s time to value yourself, look after yourself and become stronger and more in control

If you have any questions about how we can help, then get in touch. Sometimes just asking is the first step.

We are two busy Mums who have worked in fitness for over 20 years. We started our Fit Mummy classes almost 10 years ago to help women stay strong and healthy during pregnancy, followed by our popular Mummy Rebuild core rehab courses for once the baby arrived. 

We soon realised that more women needed our help and not just postnatally.  There is a real lack of core rehab options available to help women with prolapse diagnosis, pelvic floor weakness, post abdominal surgery - like hysterectomy - and especially the transition through menopause when symptoms that have not been that bad start to get worse.

Our main focus for core and pelvic floor rehab is to use hypopressives, then to add Pilates and stretches to get the core to function properly again.  

We will support you, motivate you and we have lots of ways to help you keep on track with your rehab but at the end of the day you will need to make a commitment to yourself and your pelvic health to spend some time fixing it.  

However, this doesn't have to take more than 10 minutes a day. Above all, consistency is key to improving these issues.  If you are ready to make that next step and Revive your core and pelvic floor then let's do this.  We have different training options to offer. We understand life is busy and not one option suits us. 

So, if you are ready to get started,  just let us know and we will send you over more information. 

Exciting times 

Lizzie & Sarah
