Treating Post-Pregnancy Diastasis Recti with B-Force
Are you suffering with post-pregnancy stomach muscle separation?
Diastasis recti is a common condition where the abdominal musces separate during or after pregnancy, leading to a weakened core, back pain, and posture issues.
Traditional recovery methods include stomach exercises and physical therapies, but modern treatments now offer an alternative solution where traditional methods have not worked effectively. At DrBK, we use the B-Force Muscle Toning device to help treat this condition.
Can diastasis recti be fixed without surgery?
B-Force uses advanced electrostimulation to tone and strengthen abdominal muscles by simulating up to 72,000 contractions per session. This technology is used to treat diastasis recti by restoring core strength and muscle tone without surgery, offering faster recovery for new mothers.
By focusing on targeted muscle contractions, B-Force not only improves abdominal tone but also addresses posture problems and strengthens connective tissues, crucial for postpartum recovery.
How can you tell if you have diastasis recti?
Common signs of diastasis recti during the postnatal period are:
- A visible bulge or “pooch” that protrudes just above or below the belly button
- Softness or jelly-like feeling around your belly button
- Coning or doming when you contract your ab muscles
- Difficulty lifting objects, walking or performing everyday tasks
- Pain during sex
- Pelvic or hip pain
- Low back pain
- Poor posture
- Urine leaking when you sneeze or cough
- Constipation
How does B-Force help treat diastasis recti?
B-Force utilizes advanced electromagnetic technology to induce intense muscle contractions in the abdominal area. These contractions strengthen and tone the abdominal muscles, helping to close the gap caused by diastasis recti and restore core strength.
Is B-Force safe for postnatal women?
Yes, B-Force is a non-invasive and safe treatment option for postpartum women. However, it’s essential to have a full consultation before starting any new treatment to ensure it’s appropriate for your specific situation.
How soon can I start B-Force treatments after giving birth?
It’s generally recommended to wait at least six weeks after a vaginal delivery and longer after a caesarean section. A full consultation will determine the best time to begin B-Force treatments based on your recovery.
How many B-Force sessions are needed to see results?
While individual results may vary, many people notice improvements after just a few sessions. A typical treatment plan may involve multiple sessions over several weeks for optimal results.
Are there any side effects associated with B-Force?
B-Force is well-tolerated with minimal side effects. Some individuals may experience mild muscle soreness, similar to what you’d feel after a workout, but this usually subsides quickly.
Can B-Force replace physical therapy exercises?
B-Force can complement physical therapy but should not necessarily replace it. Combining B-Force treatments with prescribed exercises may provide the best outcome for strengthening the core and treating diastasis recti.
Is the B-Force treatment painful?
No, the treatment is not painful. Patients typically feel intense but comfortable muscle contractions during the session.
How does B-Force compare to surgical options?
B-Force offers a non-surgical alternative to address diastasis recti by strengthening abdominal muscles and improving core stability. Surgery might be considered for severe cases, but B-Force provides a less invasive option with no downtime.
How much does B-Force cost?
The B-Force treatment is £300 for a single session, however discounted rates are available for block bookings.
