PT versus surgery to fix Diastasis Recti? (Photo)

June 6, 2023
Asked By:Powerful680708 in Bells, North Carolina

(2 kids, 6&8) 5’6” 130lbs I’m wanting to know if a tummy tuck with diastasis repair will help with the abdominal pressure and upper ab gripping my PT says I’m unconsciously doing. I’ve done lots of PT it helps some but if I ever stop issues slowly come back and I’m tired of feeling broken. I’d love to see results from working out instead of the mom pooch and constant weakness of my core. Ive heard it helps with lower back pain but I wasn’t sure about the outward pressure at the DR. Thanks
