Diastasis Recti is a separation of your abdominal muscles vertically at our belly button. This happens due to the internal pressure of the growing baby. Many women don't know that they have it. But they are suffering from back or pelvic pain, mild incontinence, or just have a 'pooch' belly that they can't seem to shift even years after having their babies.
My Core Restore Programme focuses on specific exercises which strengthen your deep pelvic floor and abdominal muscles to help close your abdominal gap, which will then make you feel strong again and have your body functioning correctly, as it should do, to support you.
The programme is really simple to do and you can easily follow along with the videos. Progressing through each stage of the programme as you feel strong enough, allowing you to go completely at your own pace. The programme will take you a number of weeks, or even a couple of months to complete depending on your unique starting point.
Who is this programme for?
Anyone that wants to close the gap between their abdominals. (Even several years later.)
Anyone unhappy dealing with incontinence and wants to be dry at last.
Anyone tired of still looking pregnant and wants to flatten their tummy bulge.
Anyone who wants to be free of pelvic, lower back and/or sacroiliac joint pain.
Anyone that wants to restore their core function to what it was before they carried children.
Anyone who has recently had a baby!
I have created Body After Baby Core Restore with you in mind.
Why I created this programme:
When I began teaching my own Pilates classes in 2011, I would occasionally spot the symptoms of Diastasis Recti during exercises when women were in an "ab crunch" position. So I would modify for them. Then one day a woman came in for class who had a lingering wide gap and pelvic floor issues. She found the whole class a challenge to take part in, even with the modifications. Her body was simply not ready for a regular group class.
This was my first experience with the more serious core dysfunction that can commonly occur after having babies. We had a talk after class and I taught her some exercises to help and one thing was apparent. She felt like she was dealing with this alone and doing what she could to feel strong again. Often, until these issues up in conversation that we realise, we are not alone. Incontinence, lower back pain and the bulging DR tummy are so common, and definitely something that can be treated effectively with the right information in our hands.
However, there is so much incorrect information out there. How to train someone with Diastasis Recti is not common knowledge, even among fitness professionals. And women are so resourceful, and as we often go online to find information, this disinformation is what is often found instead, which may cause more harm than good.
So, I have taken material developed over the course of nearly 10 years of teaching women before and after having their babies, my own experience with rehabbing my core after two pregnancies, to create an effective programme that will help women restore their core function, end their struggle with Diastasis Recti and Pelvic Floor dysfunction and feel amazing about their bodies!
Meet Emma:
Hi, I am Emma McAtasney, I earned my Pilates credentials through BASI Pilates, a highly respected college-level Pilates teacher training programme which aim is to create and maintain professional standards for the teaching of the Pilates Method to the highest calibre.
In addition, I hold the Burrell Education Pre and Postnatal certifications.

I am also a NCEHS personal trainer and Precision Nutrition Coach and founder of a boutique Pilates studio in Dundalk, Ireland.
I have personally had Diastasis Recti from midway through my first pregnancy and nearly all the way through my second. I know what it is like to have a core that just doesn't feel right and a belly that still looks pregnant months later. I did not "snap back" like I had hoped and wore pads for longer than I thought a woman of my age and fitness "should". It really made me feel helpless until I began doing what would become my Body After Baby Programme!
