Diastasis Recti

"Diastasis recti is a whole-body issue that requires a whole-body approach. It's refreshing to find a resource that acknowledges that need and provides concrete steps to achieve it.Breaking Muscle "Using the same friendly approach that makes her anatomy and movement lessons so easy to follow, Bowman provides tactics that are understandable and clearly described. The use of photography is also helpful, with the author demonstrating each move in addition to providing step-by-step instructions. Although Bowman's main purpose is education, what she really brings is empowerment. Encouraging people to know their own bodies, and then pursue solutions that make them healthier and happier, is a powerful approach to wellness. By making the material understandable, approachable, and achievable, Bowman offers an outstanding and necessary guide to diastasis recti and many other abdomen-related issues. Everyone can benefit from these insights and improve their health in an empowered and proactive way." Foreword Reviews Especially important for people who do CrossFit or weightlifting, with repetitive movements like overhead presses and heavy squats, but don't expect to find tables full of Do's and Donts. Her approach is also highly individual and takes into account the many variables that exist from person to person." Breaking Muscle
