Diastasis Recti in Denver

Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy for Diastasis Recti in Denver: Rebuild Core Strength, Reduce Pain & Restore Confidence

Struggling with a persistent belly bulge, back pain, or pelvic floor issues after pregnancy? If your core feels weak or disconnected, diastasis recti could be the cause. This abdominal separation affects up to 60% of women by their third trimester, and 25% still experience it a year postpartum—but the right treatment can help close the gap and restore core strength.

At TruStrength Performance and Rehab in Denver, our expert pelvic floor physical therapists specialize in treating diastasis recti, using proven, evidence-based techniques to rebuild core function, eliminate discomfort, and help you feel strong again—without surgery or ineffective “one-size-fits-all” programs.

What is Diastasis Recti?

Diastasis recti occurs when the rectus abdominis (six-pack) muscles separate down the middle, causing a visible bulge and core weakness. While pregnancy is the most common cause, factors like weight fluctuations, poor movement mechanics, and genetics also play a role.

Symptoms of Diastasis Recti:

• Visible bulge or “mom pooch” that won’t go away
• Core weakness affecting posture, balance, and strength
• Lower back pain & hip discomfort from improper core engagement
• Pelvic floor dysfunction, including incontinence or pain
• Difficulty lifting, exercising, or doing daily tasks

Diastasis recti is not the same as a hernia. There’s no organ protrusion—just muscle separation. But left untreated, it can worsen and lead to chronic instability and pain.

The good news? With the right pelvic floor physical therapy program, most women see significant improvement—or even full closure—of the gap.
