Diastasis Recti Screening
Diastasis recti screening measures abdominal gap and tissue response with simple head-lift checks—used to guide load progressions, not daily fixation.
Diastasis recti screening checks gap width and tissue tension at the linea alba—often with a gentle head lift while palpating above and below the navel. Finger widths are a rough guide; depth, doming, and symptoms matter as much as numbers.
Re-test periodically rather than daily obsession.
Common questions
-
How often should you screen diastasis at home?
Every few weeks at the same time of day is enough. Daily checks amplify anxiety without changing rehab faster than consistent breath and load progressions.
