Diastasis Recti do & don’t

Join Maxine from Avalon Wellness & Performance for a real, supportive conversation about diastasis recti—a common postpartum condition that affects core strength, posture, and confidence. We’ll break down what it is, what healing really looks like, and what to do (and avoid) when rebuilding your core. Whether you’re newly postpartum or still struggling years later, you’ll walk away with tools, clarity, and encouragement. 💪💫

We’ll also share simple movement tips, breathwork, and how therapies like CranioSacral and manual therapy can support your recovery journey.

👶✨ Is your core feeling… a little off since baby?
You might be dealing with diastasis recti — and you’re definitely not alone.

🧠 What is it?
Diastasis recti is a common postpartum condition where the abdominal muscles separate during pregnancy to make space for baby. Totally normal — but it can linger and affect core strength, posture, back pain, and even how you breathe!

🚫 What not to do?
❌ Sit-ups
❌ Crunches
❌ Planks (until properly guided!)
These can widen the separation and delay healing.

💡 What can you do?
✅ Gentle core engagement
✅ Breathwork
✅ Pelvic floor support
✅ Bodywork like CranioSacral Therapy + Osteopathic Manual Therapy (hi, that’s us!)

🌿 At Avalon, we help women reconnect with their bodies postpartum — safely and holistically.

🌀 Curious if you have diastasis recti? Drop a 💬 below or DM us for a quick self-check guide!

🇺🇸✨ 3 YEARS IN THE USA ✨🇺🇸
Three years ago, we left everything familiar behind to follow a dream—and landed in paradise with palm trees, Publix, and more paperwork than we ever imagined.

Since then, we’ve built more than just a business. We’ve created a space for healing, movement, and connection—with hands, hearts, and community at the center of it all.

To every client who’s trusted us with their wellness, and to everyone who’s cheered us on—thank you. You’ve helped turn a leap of faith into a life we truly love.

Here’s to growth, grit, gratitude… and still saying “sorry” too much. 🇨🇦➡️🇺🇸💛

🍼✨ Just Completed: Mini-Foundations with Beames CST ✨

I’m excited to share that I’ve completed the Mini-Foundations course through Beames CST, the leading institute for non-invasive and respectful Craniosacral Therapy education for infants.

Beames CST teaches practitioners how to use craniosacral to improve the lives of babies in their communities—and that mission deeply resonates with me. This course laid a beautiful foundation for supporting infants with gentle, responsive touch that honors their innate intelligence.

I’m so grateful to be expanding my skills in this sacred work, and I look forward to integrating these tools into my practice at Avalon Wellness & Performance.

📣 Numbness in your hands? Tightness in your neck or shoulder? This might be why…

You could be dealing with Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS)—a condition caused by nerve or blood vessel compression between your collarbone and first rib. It’s more common than you think, especially if you:

💻 Work at a desk
🍼 Hold a baby often
🏋️‍♀️ Lift overhead
🛏️ Sleep with your arms up

In our newest blog, we break down:
✅ What TOS is
✅ What causes it (hello, posture + fascia!)
✅ What symptoms to watch for
✅ And how we treat it fully within our Osteopathic Manual Therapy sessions here at Avalon in Naples, FL.

✨ Plus, we’re sharing one of our favorite stretches to relieve pec & arm tension that could be feeding into your symptoms.
🎥 Watch the stretch: https://youtu.be/n_t8w9J7wjA?si=GS369zpgHFGSzsTR

🌿 Real Talk from the Treatment Room 💆‍♀️💬

Confession time… I treated myself to some much-needed CranioSacral Therapy this week (yes, even us therapists need tune-ups too!). Between juggling clients, admin, and being mom — my nervous system was waving a little white flag 🏳️😅

One hour later, I could literally feel my jaw unclench, my breath deepen, and my body drop into that oh yes, I’m okay again state.

It reminded me why I LOVE this work. Because it’s not just about fixing pain. It’s about helping people feel like themselves again.

✨ So here’s your gentle nudge:
If your body’s been whispering (or shouting!) for attention… we’ve got space for you.
Whether it’s tension, stress, post-surgery recovery, or you’re just feeling off — we’re here to help.

Come see what a session with one of our skilled therapists feels like. It might just be the reset you didn’t know you needed 💚

Protect Your Knees by Moving Your Ankles & Hips! 🦵🦶🏽🧘‍♀️

Did you know your knees take a beating when your ankles and hips aren’t doing their job?

Here’s the deal:
✅ Your knee is meant to bend and straighten—simple.
🚫 It’s not designed to twist or move side-to-side a lot.
But if your ankles or hips are stiff, your knee gets pulled into weird angles it’s not built for. That’s when pain and injuries can happen.

So if your knees are feeling cranky, the real issue might be above or below.

Want to keep your knees happy?
👉 Work on hip and ankle mobility
👉 Stay active with full-body movement
👉 Don’t skip the warm-up!

A little prevention goes a long way 💪
