[FREE] Diastasis Recti: A Guide to Assessing Your Postnatal Clients ✨⁣
⁣
5+ years ago I had a diastasis recti assessment done by a midwife at 2 weeks postpartum and it was…⁣
⁣
...it was not great. 😬⁣
⁣
It was not done accurately. ⁣
⁣
The advice they gave me was not evidence based or, well, helpful. ⁣
⁣
And, without knowing what I knew then as a fitness coach and Kinesiologist who specializes in working with pregnant and postpartum people, I was imagining all the postpartum people they were assessing who were also getting the same advice. 😩⁣

PSA: bodies jiggle. ✨⁣
⁣
I’m a straight sized person with much (MUCH) body privilege.⁣
⁣
I’m a fitness professional and Kinesiologist. ⁣
⁣
Within an industry where lesser jiggly bodies are regarded as more adept. ⁣
⁣
I benefit from that AND aim to help fuck all of that nonsense up.⁣

PSA: let the belly tension go. ✨⁣
⁣
A throwback to a teething almost two-year old who was up in the carrier because molars are assholes. Toddlers teething with molars are assholes. 😫⁣
⁣
I could feel my lower belly squishing out underneath the carrier and could sense my tendency to want to hold my belly in tight.⁣
⁣
And, I immediately felt my pelvic floor feel bulgy and lower back get tight. 🙄⁣
⁣
The practice is this. 👇🏼👇🏼⁣
⁣
I notice I want my belly to seem flatter. I question why that is.⁣
⁣
And then I actively COACH MY OWN SELF through allowing my belly to be in it’s full roundness.⁣
⁣
I could give you multiple reasons why it can be important for your pelvic health and digestion to stop that chronic belly-holding-in tension.⁣
⁣
But, what might be even more ✨ impactful ✨ for your whole health, is to lean into the discomforts you’re feeling with your postpartum belly existing as it is and allowing it to do so.⁣
⁣
Practice. ❤️❤️❤️ #postnatalfitnessspecialist

I napped today. I hate napping.⁣
⁣
But I couldn’t not. I was unable to “do” anything but lie down and stay there.⁣
⁣
I have felt done-done-done the last week. Exhausted. No reserves remaining. ⁣
⁣
No thank you, to literally all of it. 🙄⁣
⁣
I know you’re feeling similarly and it feels like trash, yes? Yes.⁣
⁣
We are not coming to the part of this post where there’s motivation. 🤣🤣🤣⁣
⁣
Y’all. Shit is a mess. That’s the story.⁣
⁣
For everyone, to varying degrees, in myriad ways.⁣
⁣
I’m privileged in all of the ways and things are NOPE for me right now.⁣
⁣
That feels gross and true.⁣
⁣
In sum...⁣
⁣
I have no answers, no positive spin to leave you with, only honest words, and WOW, I’m so glad you’re here to talk to. ❤️⁣
