Together Tummy


Book Description

Together Tummy is a book about diastasis recti (separation of the outermost abdominal muscles)a condition that has been ignored by the medical community. A condition that people don't even know they have because they have never even been checked for it. So they go from doctor to doctor to find out what is wrong with their bellies. Many times they go to a doctor to get treated for the side effects of this condition which show up as back pain, pelvic floor, and GI problems. When being treated for these problems, a diastasis recti is not even considered in their medical evaluation. Diastasis recti can also put a pregnant woman at risk for a C-section. When people are diagnosed with a diastasis, they are either told to have surgery, live with it, or do crunches. Crunches actually can create a diastasis or make it worse! So the purpose of this book is to bring diastasis awareness to medical professionals and the general population as well.
