I am exploring my options to treat my diastasis recti. I have already started working out to lose some of my pregnancy weight. I am afraid that I might be making it worse. I have an umbilical hernia too. I have been reading up on the MUTU system and Tupler Technique and am a little concerned that after all that time and effort, it may not actually help the problem. Are these techniques worth it, or is surgery my only real option?

Answer: Diastasis improvement without surgery After delivery, you will notice over the next six months your abdomen will flatten somewhat. You can also find some mild-mod improvement with strengthening your core, in particular your obliques. If your diastasis is severe enough, surgery is the best option. If you have a large amount of loose skin, a tummy tuck is the best option. If you do not, we can repair your diastasis through a low abdominal incision as well. Give your body time to heal and consult with a plastic surgeon in six months or so to see what your options are.

Answer: Best way to sort diastasis Hi thank you for your question. In my opinion there are no non-surgical methods that reliably repair separation of the tummy muscles after pregnancy. If there is genuine separation I suggest a surgical consultation and opinion.Best wishes.
