Summary of Katy Bowman's Diastasis Recti

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

Book Preview:

#1 Diastasis recti is a problem that can be addressed by fixing the underlying causes. It is a whole-body issue that is defined by its symptom—the displacement of one or more of your abdominal muscles.

#2 To improve your DR, you must learn the parts that make up your core, as well as the forces that act upon them. You must understand that a quick fix for a DR or core weakness is not possible, but a solution is.

#3 There is no normal width of a linea alba, and the anthropometric dimensions of a person affect the size of their muscular connections. The DR diagnosis based on an absolute measure of 2. 7mm between rectus abdominis halves is more for insurance purposes than it is for understanding what creates a diastasis recti.

#4 The linea alba is a fibrous structure that runs vertically down the midline of the body from the sternum to the pelvis. It connects your ribcage to your pelvis, but it doesn’t connect only to these bones. It connects to all of your abdominal muscles.
