Description:
Try this simple exercise, at home finger test, to see if you have abdominal separation (diastasis recti), which is very common after pregnancy. <br/><br/>Visit https://www.braceability.com/blogs/info/diastasis-recti to learn more about postpartum ab separation and diastasis recti among men and women!<br/><br/>Diastasis recti is classified as a gap of roughly 2.7 cm (just over an inch) or greater between your abdominal muscles, which roughly equates to two fingertips. A gap of four to five fingertips is considered severe diastasis recti.<br/><br/>For a more exact read on your separated abdominal muscles or to check for hernias, you could get an ultrasound. But you can also answer the question “Do I have diastasis recti?” pretty easily yourself.<br/><br/>To find out if you have diastasis recti, follow these steps:<br/><br/>1. Lie on the back with the knees bent at 90-degree angles and your feet flat on the ground.<br/>2. Place your fingers on your belly with the palm facing you on your belly button. Press down<br/>gently.<br/>3. Lift your head off the ground and draw your chin to your chest, contracting your abdominal<br/>muscles.<br/>4. Do you feel a gap of two finger-widths or more? If so, you have diastasis.<br/>5. Repeat this test a bit above and a bit below the belly button, as that gap can vary.<br/><br/>Music: A New Beginning - Bensound.com
