What is diastasis and why does it appear?
As a rule , diastasis occurs in pregnant women as a result of an increased load on the abdominal muscles in the process of bearing a child. In rare cases, it can be caused by a genetic predisposition , weak abdominal muscles, or heavy physical exertion.
The degree of development of diastasis is determined by the width of the muscle divergence
- 1 degree - discrepancy 2-5 cm;
- Grade 2 - discrepancy 5-7 cm;
- 3 degree - discrepancy more than 7 cm.
According to the localization of the discrepancy, it is divided into 3 types

- under the navel;
- mixed type ( both above and below the navel).
How to diagnose diastasis?

bend your knees;
put your feet on the floor and move them as close as possible to the buttocks;
place your fingertips above and below the navel ( approximately 3-5 cm) on the midline of the torso;
Keeping your abs relaxed , lift your head and shoulders off the floor.
If you managed to find a hollow under or above the navel , then you have diastasis. The deeper this depression , the more severe your disease.
