What a great explanation. I get questions about this all the time in my practice! Well... here ya go! Everything is better with pictures!🤸🏻‍♂️

Posted @withrepost • @pelvichealing With DRA, because your muscles are in active/passive insufficiency, your body had difficult creating core stability - thus making it painful to walk, lift, or stand for sustained periods of time. This can translate to your pelvic floor, as your pelvic floor acts as a stabilizer as well. The pelvic floor can compensate and become overactive and create unnecessary tension...causing pelvic pain or symptoms like urinary urgency/frequency, pain with sex, etc! Your beautifully capable body deserves a pre/postpartum evaluation! Call us to schedule (714) 770-8222 or visit pelvichealing.com to learn more.

Here are the #DiastasisRecti basics: A #DRA forms when there is excessive load on the rectus abdominis muscles “your six pack muscles” during pregnancy. The linea alba joins the rectus abdominis and is made of thick collagenous connective tissue and it will stretch out during pregnancy. AND 100% of women have a DRA during pregnancy and it is not always guaranteed for it to return back to normal!
🔸
During this time your body starts to change to accommodate for your baby/ies and your body will excessively load your lumbar spine and put musculoskeletal and fascial tension on the spine. If the tension is not translated into the front after delivery, you can develop residual lower back tension/pain.
🔸
Your pain may be stemming from the increased load onto your lower spine and not having correct core engagement (due to poor posture and poor alignment of the pelvis and spine, where your muscles attach to. In addition, this can create nerve pain on the lumbar nerves (L1-L5).

Posture takes an effect on everything in our body and can’t be ignored. Loving this post!
.🤸🏻‍♂️.
Posted @withrepost • @pelvichealing A look into helpful #posture poses brought to you our postural alignment specialist, @zeenadhalla! In this post we are sharing 3 poses that serve 3 different purposes: straightening, realigning, and releasing. Swipe to see each pose demonstrated by none other than Dr. Julie Sarton herself!!
·
Pose 1: Extended Lateral Pose - for when you want to STRAIGHTEN OUT, which works to address a "femur disparity". This is when one femur is rotated in a slightly different position than another. Using the wall helps to make sure the body is not compensating on one side more than the other, which is often the case in this postural deviation. This exercise is extremely difficult to hold for a minute, which Julie did like a rock star! ·

Pose 2: The “Hip Lift" - for when you want to REALIGN. You've probably seen this before, but people usually hold their hands behind their leg to assist in this position. If done this way as pictured (without the hand assistance), it forces the hip flexor muscles on one leg to fire and activate, while the other leg is getting a nice glute stretch. Again, this is way more challenging than it looks!
·
Pose 3: The "Egoscue Tower" - for when you want to RELEASE. This is often used to create a release the hip flexor muscles. We place the client into this position for often 10, 15, 20 minutes or longer, and allow gravity and breathe to move the hips and thoracic spine into a better position. It looks like it isn't doing much... but after some time it can really create some amazing postural changes. by @pelvicdpt

A great anatomy visual for the powerful pelvic floor!
🤸🏻‍♂️
Posted @withrepost • @pelvichealing The pelvic floor works HARD to create #stability for your body.
The muscles of the pelvic floor, and the associated ligaments and fascia in this region, work to assist the transfer of forces from the ground through the pelvis and up to your spine, and also to distribute forces from the top of the spine back down through the legs. These muscles also span across the pelvis (from front to back and side to side), helping to support the pelvic bones. The pelvic floor is also anatomically attached to the inner hip. This is important for you because if your hip muscles aren't coordinating well or demonstrate imbalances, your pelvic floor muscles might be tempted to overwork to compensate to stabilize your hips.
