Getting a sweat on can make you feel happy and clear-headed! However, if you’re among the over 60% of Moms who experience Diastasis recti, jumping into cardio exercises without caution can lead to injuries. It is crucial to choose safe and appropriate cardio options that won’t make things worse. If you do too much too soon, there is a risk of worsening Diastasis recti. You could also possibly injure your back and Pelvic floor, leading to worse or new symptoms such as low back pain, pelvic prolapse, pelvic pain, and urinary incontinence. In this video I cover different options for you as well as the signs to look out for when trying something new.
