Just a few years ago no one was talking about Diastasis Recti. Since then, there has been a full pendulum swing from unaware to hyperaware when it comes to something that is actually very normal during pregnancy.
On this episode of Practice Brave, I talk with my friend and colleague, Lisa Ryan, about all things diastasis. We cover her personal journey with a very severe case and why she chose to have surgery. My goal with this episode is to give you insight into diastasis, the spectrum of considerations between pregnancy and postpartum, and if surgery is a viable option for you.
