Diastasis Recti: Myth, Panic & What's Actually True

Diastasis recti is one of the most talked-about—and often misunderstood—changes that can happen after pregnancy. If you've found yourself wondering whether you have it or feeling overwhelmed by conflicting advice online, you're not alone. This supportive session will help separate evidence-based information from common myths so you can feel more confident about your postpartum recovery.

Join pelvic health physical therapist Dr. Ashley Castellanos for a clear, reassuring conversation about what diastasis recti actually is, why the size of the abdominal gap isn't the whole story, and what really matters when it comes to core function and healing. Together, you'll complete a guided self-screen, explore safe movement strategies, and unpack common misconceptions about exercises like sit-ups and crunches. You'll also learn when it may be helpful to seek support from a pelvic health specialist and what signs to look for along the way.

Whether you're newly postpartum or months—or even years—into your recovery, you'll leave with practical tools, greater confidence, and a more informed perspective on diastasis recti, core health, and postpartum healing.
