Diastasis Recti Physical Therapy in St. Charles, MO

A Comprehensive Postpartum Plan to Support Healing, Recovery, and Long-Term Health.

Why Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy Is Helpful in treating Diastasis Recti?

At Vital Physical Therapy, we are screening all our postpartum women for diastasis recti and making sure your core is coordinated properly in order to get you stronger and supported as you care for your family.

Postpartum care isn’t just for pain or complications, every woman can benefit from a pelvic floor physical therapy screening after birth.

Pregnancy naturally changes your abdominal muscles to make room for your growing baby, which can lead to diastasis recti or a separation of the core muscles. After birth, your body usually begins to heal and the gap starts to close on its own. But factors like tearing, cesarean delivery, or stiffness in your joints can slow this process, leaving the separation longer than it should.

That’s where a pelvic floor physical therapist can help. We specialize in postpartum recovery, helping moms rebuild core strength, improve coordination, and feel strong and confident in their bodies again. If you’re noticing persistent core weakness, abdominal separation, or difficulty with everyday activities, scheduling an appointment can help you heal safely and effectively so, you can get back to feeling like yourself.
