Self Test for Diastasis Recti
Step by step guide to assess your DR symptoms and severity.
How to Test for Diastasis Recti:
Lie on your back in a comfortable position. Bend your knees and put your feet flat on the floor.
Place one hand on the midline of your core with your fingers flat on your midline.
Place your other hand under your head and neck for support. Lift your head slowly and begin adding pressure through the pads of your fingers.
With no diastasis recti, there is the sensation of a toned wall as you lift your direct. If you feel a space, or your fingers sink into your core, you likely have diastasis recti.
Repeat the procedure for the areas directly above your belly button down to the pubis to determine whether the diastasis recti is isolated or in your core as a whole.
