Working with Diastasis Recti

Description

Diastasis Recti is NOT a natural result of pregnancy - no matter what google search says. There are specific ways to work with pregnant clients to help them manage the forces that are placed upon their abdominal wall that will make them less susceptible to developing 'DR'. 'DR' is the unnatural distancing of the abdominals from each other. Learn how to restore the abdominal muscles to a more natural distance for better uterine, sacral, and lower back support. Learn how to help post-natal clients or anyone suffering from lack of strength or tone in their midsection, as well as clients with 'DR' or other hypermobility issues.
