Diastasis recti (the separation of the rectus abdominis muscle) is a condition commonly seen in pregnancy and after childbirth, but it can also occur in children as well as women and men of all ages.
It’s never too late to close a diastasis recti without surgery! With a whole-body, evidence-based approach, PIDR helps you heal your diastasis and rebuild your core strength. We use exercise, movement modifications, manual therapy and education to return your body to its optimal function.
Common symptoms of a DRA include:
Regular back pain
Being mistaken for an expecting mom, when you are not
Bloating with food or beverage intake
A belly pooch despite being reasonably fit elsewhere
Urine or gas leaking with daily activities or exercise
I love all the exercises you showed me! They are a great addition to my typical lower/upper body routine. This is not a typical abdominal training (no crunches and situps!) but it is soooo much better.

It was my first baby, so labor was long (about 20 hours) but the pushing was quick and painless. The doc & nurse said I was really good at the pushing and in fact, the doc asked if I had taken prenatal yoga or pilates. When I said I had gone to prenatal yoga once a week, she said she could tell! So you prepared me well! Thanks for being such an awesome instructor. In fact, you're the best yoga instructor I've ever had!

I’ve been training with Brooke for the last ten years…and that says something! I appreciate that she’s continually studying and learning new skills to use in our sessions. Over the years I’ve thanked Brooke in my head as I’ve watched my friends and family deal with pain from injury or aging. She keeps me moving…and I am 75 years old and still going STRONG!
