We have had some outstanding results with our pelvic floor treatment! Not only are we helping the floor but we have helped The muscle condition you’re referring to is diastasis recti.
It occurs when the large abdominal muscles (re**us abdominis), which run down the middle of the abdomen, separate due to the stretching of the connective tissue during pregnancy.
This separation can cause a bulge in the middle of the abdomen and may contribute to lower back pain or core weakness postpartum.
It’s common after childbirth and can sometimes be treated with specific exercises aimed at strengthening the core muscles and bringing the separated muscles back together.
High-Intensity Electromagnetic Pulse (HI-EMT) therapy can help with diastasis recti by stimulating intense muscle contractions in the abdominal region. These contractions are much stronger than voluntary contractions you achieve through exercise. Here’s how HI-EMT can potentially help with diastasis recti:
1. Deep Muscle Contractions: The electromagnetic pulses cause supra-maximal contractions of the abdominal muscles, including the re**us abdominis. These contractions work the muscles in a way that standard exercises cannot, leading to better muscle engagement and improved strength in the core.
2. Muscle Strengthening: By strengthening the muscles of the abdominal wall, HI-EMT can help to close the gap caused by diastasis recti, improving muscle tone and functional strength.
3. Enhanced Recovery: Regular sessions of HI-EMT may help accelerate the recovery of the abdominal muscles post-pregnancy, helping to reduce the gap between the separated muscles over time.
4. Non-invasive: Unlike surgery, HI-EMT is a non-invasive approach that doesn’t require downtime and can be a part of a broader rehabilitation program involving physical therapy and core exercises.
