@hannahbower2: This is often described as coning, doming, bulging or breadloafing and they all are just terms describing how pressure manifests in the body. *Anyone* can have this, not just pregnancy or postpartum individuals. There is a lot of fear around coning ( hello 🙋🏼‍♀️ I once was terrified of it) but it’s just feedback. It’s simply your body handling the pressure within your abdomen. Different exercises, how you engage your deep core, how you breathe, or body positioning can increase or decrease the pressure within your core canister. Your individual connective tissue & strength plays into this too. It’s individual. Not all coning is created equal. I go in depth about this in my core guide. All things deep core and how to heal, connect, coordinate and strengthen the deep core. When you see coning, don’t fear it. So many individuals are halting their progress out of fear of worsening their diastasis. Coning is just a visual tool to help you know when to modify or adjust form. You have (over time) challenge the connective tissue and muscles in order for them to get stronger. Some coning may happen during this, and that’s ok. But the key is knowing when it’s “too much” for your connective tissue/abdominal wall. These 3 steps are just a few techniques you can use to help minimize the coning/bulging you may have. It’s very individual especially when you’re postpartum. If you find your exhale isn’t enough to elicit change when doing the exercise, that’s when you can intentionally add in appropriate engagement of the deep core. I go over this and so many other techniques I teach in my guide. I hope you found this helpful! #diastasisrectiawareness #coreworkout #corestrength #diastasisrecti #healingdiastasis
