Diastasis and how to get the abdominal muscles back in the right place

Diastasis is a condition in which the abdominal muscles are separated or stretched. It is manifested visually, by a visible separation or deepening between the abdominal muscles, but also by limiting feelings of weakness in the trunk, back pain or postural problems. It often arises during pregnancy when the growing uterus can put pressure on the abdominal wall, causing it to stretch. In some cases, the abdominal muscles return to their original position naturally after childbirth. For some, however, the problems can persist for years. How to get the abdominal muscles back in shape?

What are the most common causes of diastasis?

• Pregnancy
• overexertion of the abdominal area
• Excessive exercise or improper technique
• being overweight or obese

The most common methods of treating diastasis are exercises aimed at strengthening the midsection, breathing techniques and lifestyle modifications. Instrumental treatments can also help and significantly speed up the process. At MEDICOM Clinic we offer the highly effective EMSCULPT NEO method. In addition to active rehabilitation, new muscle is built up by up to 25% at the same time, as well as non-invasive fat reduction by up to 30%, including visceral fat. This effective and completely safe method uses electromagnetic stimulation. Using strong muscle contractions, it also engages the deep abdominal muscles at an intensity that cannot be achieved with conventional exercise. The stimulation helps to strengthen the muscles of the abdominal wall and thus improves their stability and support.

The number of sessions is determined during the consultation individually according to the client's condition. In most cases, it is recommended to have 4 to 6 sessions. The actress Ester Geisler has experience with this treatment and has been struggling with diastasis of the abdominal muscles after childbirth for almost 17 years.

If the muscle delay is of a greater extent, conservative treatment with exercise may not be successful. In such cases, then the only solution is surgery - abdominoplasty. The procedure is usually performed to improve the appearance of the abdominal area, where excess skin and fat are removed. Abdominoplasty also involves strengthening the abdominal muscles and moving them into the correct position. A single procedure thus comprehensively addresses both the aesthetic and functional aspects.
