You can improve the quality of your life by simply making sure that your abdominal or core muscles are strong and tight, because these extend to your pelvic floor, and together with the back muscles, they provide postural support.
Do you suffer from a dreadful tummy bulge that simply won’t budge no matter how much you exercise? Do you have a tummy that “folds” over whenever you are sitting down? Are you experiencing poor bowel movements or incontinence along with the tummy bulge?
If the answer is yes, then these symptoms may be there because your left and right abdominal or core muscles have widened. This widened gap is known as the rectus diastasis. The result – your belly now sticks out and appears as a bulge, and it is a common condition among postpartum women or anyone whose weight fluctuates often, regardless of your age or gender.
A strong core provides stability and longevity The rectus abdominal muscles also play an important role in stabilising your spine and controlling your pelvic floor muscles. Depending on the severity of the rectus diastasis, it can cause backaches, a slipped disc, pelvic floor muscle dysfunction and so on. So, besides cosmetic reasons, repairing your rectus abdominal muscles can help to strengthen your core muscles.
