Physical Therapy Can Help to Fight Against Parkinson’s Disease

Parkinson’s Disease is the fastest growing neurological disorder in the world.

Diastasis Recti and Physical Therapy

What is Diastasis Recti: Diastasis Recti Abdominis (DRA) is a separation of your abdominal muscles that often occurs during pregnancy and can remain after childbirth. After the baby is born it is normal for this to remain for some time, but if it is still present long after childbirth, it can contribute to low back pain, pelvic organ prolapse, and incontinence. These may be signs you have a diastasis recti that needs to be addressed: You notice a bulge in the middle of your tummy when you go to get up out of a chair or out of bed, or the middle of your stomach feels softer and more squishy than normal. A Diastasis Recti takes time to heal, but often can be improved with a guided exercise program and instruction on managing the pressure within your abdomen (i.e. how to breathe during various activities).
