A member asked:
Do sahrmann exercises heal diastasis recti?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Partially: Sahrmann exercises can help build abdominal strength (especially in abs below the belly bottom), and have been shown to partially correct the distasis recti that is caused by pregnancy, but they typically do not completely correct it. Women that have significant stretching/separation of the abdominal fascia post pregnancy usu. require abdominoplasty to completely correct.

I see conflicting ideas -diastasis recti can be helped thru exercise/PT, or others say it cannot. If it's a muscle separation, why can't it be fixed?
