How to check yourself for diastasis recti
Step 1: Lay on back and tuck your chin looking at your toes
Step 2: Use two fingers and feel along the midline of your belly starting at ribs and moving down past belly button
What are you trying to feel?
- width of spacing between the two sides of your rectus abdominis (ab muscles)
-depth of tissue separation (how far can you push your fingers straight down)
If you feel spacing or see coning (pouching midline)- this could mean you have separation of your abdominal muscles AKA diastasis recti
