Hi

I saw the physio last week and found out i have a DRAM (Diastasis Rectus Abdominus Muscle), which is when there is a separation of the long muscles of the abdomen. The muscles on each side are supposed to join in the middle, but in my case, there is a 4 finger gap between them.

So, i have a support band, and exercises to do -all good.

My SIL said that a mate of hers had a similar thing, and she thinks it is due to using stretch mark cream, that somehow in relaxing the skin it also affects the muscles underneath.

Do you reckon this is right, or is she dreaming?

thanks,
