Can diastasis recti be repaired without surgery?

In many cases. Abdominal separation that persists after months of core work often responds to EMSCULPT NEO.

Separation of the abdominal muscles after pregnancy is what leaves a stomach protruding even after the fat has gone — and it is why standard ab work can make the shape worse instead of better.

EMSCULPT NEO drives supramaximal contractions through the abdominal wall, which is what rebuilds the muscle that conventional exercise has not reached. It is one of the most common reasons post-pregnancy patients come to us.

Severe separation can still need surgical repair, and we will say so if that is what we find rather than starting a course that will not work.

What patients say

Chaise C.

After a few treatments with Claire I can finally feel and engage my abs again after having two children and surgery. I’ve been working out for two years and struggled through doing ab exercises while protecting my lower back and correctly engaging them during core routines.

I absolutely love Claire. She is extremely knowledgeable about women’s health and hormone replacement therapy. She has helped me so much and I can’t thank her enough. She also offers body sculpting as well as options for pelvic floor therapy. I can’t wait to sign up for those services. I now recommend Claire to all my friends!
