#2 Episode of 2024: How to Rehab After a Tummy Tuck: Diastasis, Core Strength & Realistic Expectations — with MUNIRA HUDANI

Send us Fan MailComing in at #2 on our list of top podcasts for 2024 is my conversation with Munira Hudani.Today I speak with Munira Hudani,  a Pre- and Post-Natal physiotherapist in Canada, and an emerging leader for the management of Diastasis Rectus Abdominis. After years of frustration in landing inconsistent results with her clients, and the dissatisfaction in having to say “we just don’t have enough research right now,” Munira began to challenge the conventional method to managing DRA. She realized that part of the inconsistent results came down to how DRA was being conceptualized. She started practicing with a different set of principles which improved outcomes. She has now compiled all of her knowledge and experience into a new framework that revolutionizes how we conceptualize, assess, and manage DRA. She is passionately committed to transferring this knowledge to both professionals and patients so they can finally make sense of the steps to take when navigating this condition. We talk about:-learning about diastasis recti -separating DR from back pain and other dysfunctions -DR is not preventable -factors that lead to long-term issues -management of DR -problems with the research -Is the gap bad? -feeling at home in your body -targeting the transverse abdominis -experiencing pregnancy and motherhood -letting go of expectationsTime Stamps1:00 introduction 7:05 defining diastasis recti 10:50 prevention of DR 13:45 fear mongering in pelvic health 17:30 predicting long-term issues 22:00 what the research says 27:00 explaining distortion 31:20 Is the gap bad? 40:05 creating personalized care 41:00 being a new mom 48:33 rapid fire questions CONNECT WITH CARRIEIG: https://www.instagram.com/carriepagliano/Website: https://carriepagliano.comCONNECT WITH MUNIRAInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/munirahudanipt/ Website: https://www.munirahudanipt.com/ The Active Mom Podcast — a real mom's guide to pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause & beyond, for active moms and the professionals who help them get there.Quick-hit conversations with moms, providers, and researchers... because you don't have a lot of free time (you're probably listening at 1.5x right now).Follow so you don't miss an episode.
