    What is the definition of Diastasis Recti?

    Diastasis recti is a noticeable separation between the left and right rectus abdominis muscles. These muscles cover the front surface of the belly area, and are normally joined together in the midline by a narrow, thickened band of connective tissue (called the linea alba). If this connective tissue in the midline becomes thinned and widened, the muscles will be farther apart from each other. This may allow an outward bulge in the middle of the abdomen, going from the breastbone down to the belly button.
