Diastasis Recti can be corrected usually through exercises or even surgery for Diastasis Recti.

Most people should try exercises first for the Diastasis Recti before going through Diastasis Recti surgery because the surgery is substantial and cost quite a bit.

Some exercises you can do to help correct Diastasis Recti are abdominal compressions, pelvic tilts, toe taps, heel slides, single-leg stretches, and bridges with belly scooping.

Most cases of Diastasis Recti are not dangerous or harmful to your health and usually it's just a nuisance to have Diastasis Recti.

However in some rare cases Diastasis Recti could become dangerous if a hernia develops and organs poke through the open muscles.

But that is rare for that to happen.

Some cases of Diastasis Recti heal on their own without Diastasis Recti surgery or other treatments.

Sometimes it can take several years as in 5 years to 10 years for the Diastasis Recti to heal if it ever does.

Some peoples Diastasis Recti never heals unless they have surgery for it and when you consider surgery for Diastasis Recti you should not take it lightly.

Surgery that fixes Diastasis Recti is a substantial surgery and should only be used as a last resort if all other treatments do not fix it.

The cost to have Diastasis Recti surgery to fix it surgically cost between $5,000.00 to $10,000.00 and usually is an out of pocket expense and usually not covered by your health insurance.

Doing some exercises including walking can sometimes help the Diastasis Recti heal much sooner than it normally would on it's own.
