“Hey I am Louise. I am 32 years old and a mom of 1. I was a boot camp instructor and fitness enthusiast before becoming pregnant. Here’s my story of postnatal fitness with diastasis recti. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I just didn’t understand or anticipate how diastasis recti and core weakening through pregnancy would impact me. Naively I thought I wouldn’t have to deal with it since I was fit before pregnancy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After self-diagnosing diastasis recti and then getting it confirmed by my OB, a pelvic floor physical therapist.  recommended the MUTU System program<\/a>. I had to learn and teach myself how to properly use my core again. I was about 12 months PP when I came to MUTU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 It was all very humbling to start back at the beginning, but patience and hard work helped me grow a lot in my healing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0Too many mamas don\u2019t even know about diastasis recti. I didn\u2019t understand what it was or that I had it. My OB never checked for it or told me to look for it! I still looked pregnant even though I was trying to eat right and exercise.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
