How do I know if I have diastasis recti?

Diastasis recti presents differently in different clients. Sometimes you feel like you have a gaping hole in your tummy, or a bulging, tenting, or “pouchy” tummy or you could have trench down the midline of your belly that sometimes bulges up when you cough or do a sit-up motion.  Other times you cannot tell by looking at the tummy but you have consistent symptoms of Functional Core Weakness like a weak, deflated abdominal wall, chronic collapsed posture, low back pain and instability, weak pelvic floor symptoms, and/or a sluggish digestive tract. The Tummy Team offers a self-check video that can walk you through checking yourself for a diastasis. (view it here).
