What we help with
Diastasis Recti (Mummy Tummy) Correction in Melbourne
Rebuild your core after pregnancy with movement retraining, not endless crunches.
Diastasis recti, a separation of the abdominal wall often called ‘mummy tummy’, responds far better to the right movement retraining than to crunches or generic core work.
Why this keeps happening
The gap doesn’t close by hammering the abs. It closes when your ribcage, pelvis and breathing work together again, so the deep core can generate tension the way it’s meant to. Poorly chosen exercises can even make it worse.
How Functional Patterns Melbourne helps
Rather than chase the symptom, we assess your whole structure, gait, posture and breathing, to find the movement dysfunction driving it. A full 90-minute posture and gait assessment pinpoints the imbalances, then we retrain them with targeted, functional exercises so your body can hold a better position on its own.
What to expect
- A 90-minute posture and gait assessment to pinpoint the root cause.
- A personalised correction plan built around your body and goals.
- Guided training that rebuilds symmetry, strength and control, so the change lasts.
