Fact:
There is no standardized pathway of care for diastasis.
Fact:
Males and females can have diastasis rectus abdominis.
Fact:
Your abdominal wall function is more important than diastasis width.
Fit2B recently partnered with top research physio Grainne Donnelly (BscHons Pg Cert HCPC MCSP) to compile an in-depth survey to help us learn more about abdominal separation and the impacts it has on lifestyle and fitness choices. Conflicting information abounds, and no standardized treatment exists. We got 1,024 responses to the first round of questions from people worldwide. Then we conducted a secondary survey, and those inputs are being looked at in Fall, 2021. The first round’s paper has been written, and we are awaiting publication.
We offered 2 surveys over the course of 2019-2021 and received thousands of responses!
Participants were compensated with a free printable & Ecourse
We will use this to educate our peers and help more people.
