What is Doming?
Doming occurs when there is an increase in intra-abdominal pressure and it fills the fascial laxity of the linea alba. It indicates that your abdominal muscles are not able to create enough tension to control the pressure.
What can you do about it?
By activating your deep core muscles (transversus abdominis and pelvic floor) you help to create tension through your midline and improve your abdominal wall’s ability to control the pressure.
Are you pregnant and unsure of how to activate your deep core muscles? Curious about how to modify core exercises throughout your pregnancy? Join Lauren Giles and I for our Pregnancy Core Series! It’s a 4 week course starting October 4th, held on Wednesday evenings from 7-8pm. You can join in-studio or via zoom so you don’t have to be local!
To sign up, shoot me a message or look under workshops on merrimanpelvichealth.com.
Pregnant and postpartum mamas, what other questions do you have regarding DRA? Leave me a comment and I’ll try to address it in the coming weeks!
