DIASTASIS RECTUS ABDOMINUS (DRA) & NEWBORN NEEDS - Flourish in the 4th Trimester - Module 4
The content of this module is divided into two digestible parts. First, you will learn all about diastasis-rectus abdominus (DRA). In the second portion, you will learn about the most common conditions newborns develop during their first year of life
That pregnancy is the only confirmed risk factor for the condition - diastasis rectus abdominus (DRA)?
That DRA, the overstretching of the abdominal muscles, is a normal adaptation during pregnancy?
That a more complicated delivery can increase the likelihood of your newborn having difficulty latching, sucking and feeding?
That common birth practices could have contributed to your fussy newborn?
DRA is trendy across social media platforms which often leads to information being misinterpreted or misrepresented.
Go beyond the basics of DRA education, empower yourself with the facts and the most current literature surrounding DRA.
Feel confident about your return to exercise postpartum by re-establishing the connection between the pelvic floor and the abdominal muscles.
Equip yourself with the skills to identify certain conditions your newborn might be working through
Learn when and how your newborn might benefit from alternative healthcare practices like Osteopathic Manual therapy (OMP).
