    I got my DR from years of heavy dead lifts and clean and press with a tight leather weight belt ...after a few doctor and PA visits I was told it was from being overweight (sure) and just live with it ...try being a fit male and not being taken serious with DR

      @@Fitshape_Gym_MuswellHill So sorry for the really long delay, we were not getting these comments. The Transverse and Pelvic floor have a co-contraction. We work on upright TA work and neutral pelvis first then bring the focus to including the pelvic diaphragm. Often because of the alignment work we do and the effectiveness of upright TA work the PF is already making huge improvements.

    Oh my...so spot on! My wife (a nurse) mentioned this as a possible issue I'm dealing with when I told/showed her this centerline bulge in my stomach when I do crunches. I'm doing a 12 week dumbbell workout via BeachBody, of which abs is a small portion of the workouts. Additionally, I've been having lower back pain, prostate pressure, a feeling of an upset stomach when I eat (not over eating, just eating)...all of the things mentioned. I'm so glad I came across this...thank you!!!! I just turned 51 and was afraid I was doomed...I have gained about 20 pounds since the start of COVID and am working on dropping that. My job (remote technical writer) doesn't help much as I sit all day.
    Is it possible to continue with the dumbbell workout (leaving out the ab portion) and using some of the recovery techniques here? I also run and bike...as long as I'm cognizant of not exacerbating the issue, can I continue those workouts? Thanks!

    the anatomy and physics of the midsection mean that exercises cannot really fix Diastasis Recti. Separation of the central linea alba tendon cannot be drawn back together. Tension on muscles either side can only pull the two sides apart, not together.

    Why men get Diastasis Recti-
    Bending down and picking up an old crippled 140lib dog at an odd angle not able to use your legs and only lifting from the hips to carry him down the stairs and outside. Flet like a balloon expanding in my upper stomach.
    I have been living with this for about 6 years, even went to the doctor right afterwards because I thought it was a hernia... and was told it nothing. Only figured this out week ago that I actually had this Diastasis Recti [maybe]. Normally I am thin but do to all the stuff recently [covid/lockdowns/not going out as much/ put on some weight so started doing setups to work on my stomach. Noticed the coning when I do a setup and it was extreme.... like a 3 inch shark fin sticking out of my stomach. I knew this wasn't normal, so I looked it up myself.
    I could have this, or not.. maybe just my stomach muscles just got weak. I don't seem to have a GAP... just coning. If I check for a gap my stomach is rock hard. I went and bought a vest type wrap to wear when I exercise just in case....
    Looked at a lot of the exercises for this DR.. not really doing it for me.. or would take 20 years. I am just going to exercise with the compression vest on.. it has two straps on the side overlapping the stomach also. Might work, might not.. I don't have 20 years to fix this.. I don't even have a year and I am not going to be gutted in an operation either.
    I have a checkup at the Doc's in a few months I will have her look at it then.

      Hi Paul, Yes this is a very typical story. You likely have developed a muscles imbalance between the internal and external abdominal muscles and the chronic pressure on the connective tissue has stretched it out.

    Easy to explain why I got it. My trainer had me doing plank exercises with my forearms on a ball for an ab workout. On my third extension (rolling the ball away from me) on the ball it felt like my guts were falling out and that was that. I ruined my stomach by trying to train my stomach.

    I'm a 19 year old male who has done calisthenics and lots of exercise most of his teenage years.
    In the middle of the night in December I woke up to a terrible pain (felt like a string in the middle of my abs, as if it were going to snap.)
    I went to get an MRI (this is 3 months later, I have stopped working out due to the pain)
    And was told I have Diastasis Recti (18mm) and this just confuses me! I felt as if the strength in my core should've been more than enough to prevent this!
    When I was a kid I already got this weird string snap feeling before but it would go away after 2-3 days, its been months now and I can still feel sensitivity in my bellybutton, any working out brings it that sharp pain again and then I feel like I can barely move my abs (leaning back) and become bedridden for 2-3 days in tons of pain.
    I am in the worst shape I've been in my life now and I want to know what could've happened, and what I can do to fix it.
    Thank you.

    I just found I have this a few months ago. I believe I got it from falling asleep sitting toward due to medication. Now when I sit forward it feels like my insides are being squished. I’ve been through the ringer with tests because my dr thought I had a hernia at first but none of the images from an X-ray, ultrasound, and CT scan show any signs of a hernia. Is it common for DR to cause pain??
