We get it....you're doing your best postpartum to regain that core strength! 🏋️‍♀️

But no matter what you do, that mom belly never fully goes away, or you see some abdominal doming or coning with ab exercises 😓

You might search the internet...and be SO confused at what you see. Never do planks or sit-ups! Or, that's the only way to heal an ab separation! Who do you believe?? 🤷

It's easy to be confused, but even easier to find TRUSTED info on our website! Every blog is all written by a pelvic floor PT with a board certification in pelvic/women's health! 🤓

Struggling with the dreaded...
🤰🏼 "mom pooch"
😓 core weakness that doesn't get better how much you work out
⚠️ "coning" or "doming" of your belly with abdominal exercises?

You could have diastasis re**us abdominis, aka DRA or DR. This is a weakness of the tissue inbetween the abdominal muscles, allowing them to separate.

Spoiler alert - 100% of pregnant people will have DRA by week 35 of pregnancy! For some people it resolves on its own, and others may need extra help.

If you think this may apply to you, schedule a time to meet with our fabulous women's health PT Kim for a free screen! She will do an assessment of your abdominal wall to help you know if you have DRA or not.

These are only 30 min and are offered at our Peoria office:
Monday 4/13 from 3-5pm
Tuesday 4/14 from 9am-12pm

Call/text 309-431-1357 or visit www.pelviclovephysio.com to schedule.

Don't just "deal" with it - get some help so you can feel stronger and more resilient in your body!! 💪 🎉 🤗
