What’s the Connection?"},"content":{"rendered":"\n
Good ‘alignment’ means how your body is stacked together. It’s how your bones and muscles are positioned to hold and move you. Your posture or alignment and diastasis recti (abdominal separation) are connected. Daily walking is an important element of the MUTU programme. The way you stand, move and squat are important to core and pelvic floor muscle weakness. So how does it work?<\/strong> What’s body alignment got to do with diastasis recti?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Diastasis recti is a symptom, a sign, of a core that is not functioning entirely as it should. \u00a0There are a great many factors (some habitual, some historical and some entirely out of your control) that affect the likelihood of your developing a diastasis. Affecting severity (how wide, how deep) and how easily it will heal by itself. But the gap is not the problem in and of itself. The gap is merely a sign of what’s happening underneath. And understanding the root cause offers us more informed strategies to help it improve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
