Don't do crunches if you have diastasis recti. Spinal flexion isn't inherently harmful to a healing abdominal wall. The goal is progressively rebuilding your capacity for flexion—not avoiding it forever.

Original caption

“Don’t do crunches if you have diastasis recti” ❌ Forward flexion isn’t inherently bad for diastasis… and we use it all day in real life: getting out of bed, picking up your baby, sitting up etc. That’s why in Ab Rehab, we start a micro-progression of forward flexion in Week 1. Small, controlled doses help the abdominal wall gradually rebuild tension, coordination, and capacity so you can flex well instead of avoiding it. Healing isn’t about avoiding movement. It’s about progressively rebuilding your ability to handle it. #abrehab #natalapp
