Hula Hooping with Diastasis Recti and backpain after diastasis exercise

The Healthy Post Natal Body Podcast

This week I answer 3 diastasis recti related questions;
Is Hula Hooping really good for healing diastasis recti?
I answer the question and talk you through how to make sure you can do your hula hoop class safely when you have diastasis recti/or at least a gap.

Is it normal to have lower back ache the day after doing some diastasis exercises?

It is not uncommon but it's also not quite right as it shows you you're pushing too hard, to the point that your exercise becomes counter productive.
After not healing my diastasis recti properly after my last pregnancy, I now find myself pregnant again. Will my abs be completely ruined??
In short, NO, not if you do the right things now. For the longer answer about why it is essential for you to start now, you'll have to listen :)

"In the news this week" I talk a bit about this study that came out in April that shows a clear link between MODERATE levels of physical activity and a significantly lower risk of depression. It just highlights the importance of exercise again, even if you only do a minimal amount you will likely get a big impact from it.
