Diastasis Recti Is More Than a "Mommy Tummy"
Diastasis Recti Is More Than a "Mommy Tummy"
Persistent Core Weakness
When the linea alba separates, your deep stabilizing muscles can't function the way they should — leading to ongoing weakness, instability, and an abdomen that feels disconnected no matter how much you exercise.
Pelvic Floor Dysfunction
Pelvic Floor Dysfunction
Diastasis recti and pelvic floor dysfunction almost always go hand in hand. Untreated, the strain can contribute to bladder leaks, prolapse, pelvic pain, and low back discomfort that limits your daily activity.
Programs That Miss the Root Cause
Programs That Miss the Root Cause
Generic postpartum fitness classes and online "ab gap" programs rarely account for your whole body. Without addressing breathing mechanics, intra-abdominal pressure, and pelvic floor coordination, healing is incomplete.

No referral is needed. Florida is a direct-access state, which means you can schedule directly with our physical therapists without a physician's order. If you're unsure whether pelvic floor PT is right for you, we offer a free phone consultation with no obligation so you can ask questions before committing to an appointment.

What happens during my first session?
Your first visit is a full one-on-one hour with your doctor of physical therapy — never shared with another patient. We begin with a thorough intake and whole-body movement assessment that evaluates your core, pelvic floor, breathing mechanics, posture, and relevant history. From there, we build an individualized care plan designed around your specific goals, whether that's healing diastasis recti, managing pelvic pain, returning to running, or recovering after surgery.
