Stop overthinking your diastasis recti..and stop being scared!

Send us Fan MailOn this week's episode I talk about what I believe is one of the biggest problems in your post-natal recovery; Fear. And especially "The fear of making things worse".By far most of the emails I get refer to this in one way or another."What if I make my diastasis worse?""I am told I can't do X exercise because my stomach will rip open" "The physio told me not to lift anything, including my toddler"The fitness industry, especially the post-partum fitness industry, is selling you this idea that you have to be scared or disgusted all the time."BE CAREFUL OR YOU'LL NEVER RECOVER!""DON'T CARRY YOUR BABY ON YOUR HIPS OR YOU'LL MAKE YOUR DIASTASIS WORSE!""DIASTASIS IS A LIFELONG CONDITION.....so keep giving me your money"."I know you don't like your post-partum belly but you gave birth and that's a beautiful thing" is a wonderful "negging" thing to do that makes you think you should feel unhappy with the way you look and it's something a lot of post-partum exercise providers like to use.Though there are of course certain things you have to be aware of when trying to heal your diastasis/pelvic floor or any other post-partum issues that is not the same as being scared or digusted.Remember to follow us on Instagram and Facebook for the competitions, wisdom and cute videos.
