Splinting is a valuable part of the rehab process, but it is not the whole program. It is possible to rehabilitate your core without a splint, however, we have seen many benefits of splinting alongside our rehab program. It can speed up the healing of diastasis recti, it provides sensory feedback to help you understand what your core muscles should feel like, it increases blood flow to the damaged tissue, and ultimately reinforces what we teach in our core rehabilitation program.
