Researchers at Weill Cornell Medical College published a study in the American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology (May 2014) that proves The Dia Method® works to cure diastasis recti postpartum, a condition often referred to as “mommy pooch.” The study, entitled “Postnatal exercise can reverse diastasis recti,” is the first published research that definitively supports what countless Dia Method clients have experienced: the right kind of exercise can and does reverse abdominal separation. https://journals.lww.com/greenjournal/Abstract/2014/05001/Postnatal_Exercise_Can_Reverse_Diastasis_Recti.352.aspx A whole body program, The Dia Method is the only home fitness system on the market proven to address diastasis recti, a condition developed during pregnancy when the abdominal wall separates. Post-pregnancy, this manifests as an undesirable “pooch” that cannot be eliminated by weight loss, crunches or other traditional core and postnatal exercises, which actually worsen this condition. In the study Cornell conducted on The Dia Method, subjects achieved full resolution of diastasis recti in less than 12 weeks. In addition to the core strength benefits Dia exercises confer, data point to other important health benefits, including reduction of urinary incontinence and reduced incidence of back pain. https://every-mother.com/evidence/
