what is recti
Diastasis recti (also known as abdominal separation) is commonly defined as a gap of roughly 2.7 cm or greater between the two sides of the rectus abdominis muscle.This condition has no associated morbidity or mortality. Diastasis recti is more common in premature and black newborns. 2  In pregnant or postpartum women, the condition is caused by the stretching of the rectus abdominis by the growing uterus.
