See what Pilates teachers are saying about The Pilates Protocol for Diastasis Recti ⬇️
Excessive, unmanaged intra-abdominal pressure is the primary cause of DRA.
In the picture, notice how this woman's abs are bulging out.
This is called doming, and it's one of the pressure-related issues that contributes to DRA (Diastasis Recti).
Pilates teachers are in the PERFECT position to help clients learn to manage this pressure during
- exercise,
- everyday movement,
- and everyday emotions! (Yes, emotions. Keep reading to learn more...)
The Emotional Effects of Diastasis Recti:
Right now, there is a mom with diastasis recti, looking in the mirror, who is losing HOPE.
Her OBGYN has told her the ONLY WAY to fix the separation is a $10,000 surgery.
If this isn't bad enough, she has a child witnessing this discouragement,
whether through the lack of energy she is bringing to motherhood,
or actually seeing mom frown at herself in the mirror, and look at her belly in disgust.
As a Pilates teacher, YOU are in the PERFECT position to EMPOWER this mom, and change this negative perspective on her healing.
What ACTUALLY is Diastasis Recti (DRA)?
The term Diastasis recti means 'separation of the rectus abdominus'
HOWEVER it's ACTUALLY a widening of the linea alba (the fascial, tendon-like sheath that connects the 4 abdominal muscles and surrounding fascia together.)
➡️ So to say that DRA is a separation is NOT accurate.
✅ A BETTER way to describe this condition is a WIDENING and THINNING of the linea alba.
Why is this important?
When you are educating clients about this condition, the term 'separation' may create fear-mongering, leading your client to thinking that their belly is torn.
It is not torn.
When the belly is torn, that is ACTUALLY a hernia. Most of the time a hernia will need surgery to fix.
Build your credibility, and become THE go-to expert in your area, known for effectively working with client's who have diastasis recti.
So many teachers are afraid of working with this population. Because of this, It is RARE to find a studio who specializes in serving clients with diastasis recti!
This puts YOU at an advantage!
Once you learn the skills and get some practice working with this population (which you are prompted to do after every lesson in the Pilates Protocol for Diastasis Recti program) you get to offer this unique service to your community!
