DIASTASIS RECTI THERAPY
A focused approach that supports abdominal recovery, promotes core stability, eases tension, and helps mothers reconnect with their bodies after childbirth
Diastasis Recti Care: Targeted Core Recovery for Postnatal Mothers
As pregnancy progresses, the growing belly naturally stretches and places pressure on the abdominal wall, sometimes creating a separation between the muscles at the midline. This occurrence, called Diastasis Recti, is common and varies in severity for each mother.
At Inspire Mum & Baby, our Diastasis Recti care programme combines Medisculpt Abs, Medisculpt Pelvic Floor, and guided corrective exercises to support mothers in regaining strength and stability after pregnancy. Through carefully selected postnatal exercises and body sculpting and muscle toning solutions, we aim to reawaken muscle engagement and restore overall body alignment.
Our Specialised Approach
At Inspire Mum & Baby, our Diastasis Recti sessions are designed to encourage safe muscle activation and restore postural balance, with care that adapts to each stage of recovery.
Guided Core Strengthening
Sessions include targeted postnatal exercises to help mothers reconnect with their abdominal muscles in a safe, supportive way. Each movement encourages alignment, control, and steady progress.
Supporting Core Engagement
Sessions are paired with guided activation of the deeper core and pelvic floor. This combination reduces strain, promotes better muscle activation, and enhances the results of corrective exercises.
Medisculpt for Enhanced Recovery
Medisculpt technology can be incorporated to stimulate abdominal muscle activation and accelerate progress. It is suitable for women after both natural birth and C-section, including those who are breastfeeding. Beyond diastasis healing, it also supports pelvic floor strength, improves bladder control, and facilitates a faster return to overall fitness.
Structured Sessions & Progress Plan
Most mothers benefit from a series of sessions spread across several weeks. The frequency is tailored to your needs, whether you’re newly postnatal or addressing long-term separation, to ensure safe and sustainable progress.
Safety First: When We Modify or Pause Sessions
While our Diastasis Recti care programme can be supportive for many mothers, there are times when we pause, adapt, or recommend alternative care to ensure your well-being.
We may recommend waiting or modifying your session if you have:
- Fresh C-section wounds or stitches that have not fully healed
- Suspected hernia or unmanaged abdominal pain
- Ongoing infection or fever
- Excessive tenderness or unresolved swelling in the abdominal area
What to Expect & Results
Initial Assessment and Care Planning
Your first session begins with a consultation to understand your postnatal stage, delivery history, and any abdominal concerns. This allows our team to assess your core and create a plan that supports your healing needs. The focus is on ensuring each session is safe, comfortable, and tailored to your recovery journey.
Recognising Signs of Progress
As sessions continue, you may begin to notice changes such as reduced abdominal tension, less doming during movement, or better core activation when performing daily tasks. These are early signs that the connective tissue and muscles are responding well, helping you regain stability and confidence in your body.
Post-Session Guidance for Ongoing Support
After each session, you’ll receive simple care tips to prolong the benefits. These may include drinking enough water and avoiding exercises that create strong abdominal pressure. Gentle stretches and mindful posture habits are also encouraged to maintain your progress between sessions and make daily movement feel more comfortable.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Diastasis Recti programme?
It is a focused programme that combines Medisculpt Abs, Medisculpt Pelvic Floor, and guided core exercises to address abdominal muscle separation. Through tailored techniques such as guided activation, it helps restore core function and improve postural stability over time.
What causes diastasis recti?
This condition often develops when the abdominal wall is placed under pressure during pregnancy, creating a gap between the muscles. Factors such as carrying multiples, delivering larger babies, frequent pregnancies, or improper core engagement in daily activities may increase the likelihood of developing Diastasis Recti.
What happens in the first session?
Your initial session usually begins with an assessment of abdominal function and posture. From there, our experts introduce techniques suited to your needs and explain how Medisculpt and postnatal exercises will be integrated into your plan.
Does this programme help “close the gap”?
Sessions aim to improve muscle activation, reduce strain on the linea alba, and support better alignment. Over time, many mothers might notice a firmer core and less doming during movement.
How many sessions do I need?
Every woman’s journey is unique. Some may notice changes quickly, while others benefit from a steadier, longer process. Our team will suggest an approach that evolves with your progress and personal goals.
When can I start after birth?
You may be able to begin once your body feels ready and you’ve received clearance from your healthcare provider. The timeline can vary depending on your birth experience, overall healing, and personal comfort. Generally, it will be 2-3 months after a natural birth and 4-6 months after C-section.
Are there any safety considerations?
While generally safe, sessions may be postponed in certain cases, such as unmanaged abdominal pain, infection, or fresh surgical wounds. Our team at Inspire Mum & Baby will always assess suitability and adapt the session for safety.
Can it support pelvic floor recovery too?
Definitely. The Medisculpt for Pelvic Floor and the corrective exercises will help with the pelvic floor recovery.
How long does recovery take?
There’s no set timeline for recovery. Each woman progresses differently depending on lifestyle, degree of separation, and consistency of practice. We have seen patients with as fast as just one session to a couple of weeks or months. It also depends on the frequency of home-based exercises that are done during the therapy sessions.
