Diastasis Recti & Core Exercise Coaching for Women in Berkhamsted & Online
Have you been told to “just strengthen your abs”? If it were that simple, a handout with five exercises would solve the problem. Sometimes it helps — but often it doesn’t.
SOMA’s specialist diastasis recti and core coaching, available in Berkhamsted and online, supports women in understanding how their core actually functions. Through guided, whole-body exercise and movement coaching, the focus is on rebuilding coordination, strength, and stability — helping you regain confidence in your body after pregnancy or other abdominal changes.
Rebuilding a Strong, Connected Core
Your core is a pressure management system, influenced by breathing mechanics and your ability to coordinate the muscles of your trunk during movement and exercise. When one area becomes over-dominant or another is under-recruited, pressure is often poorly managed — leaving you feeling disconnected, weak, or unsure how to use your core effectively.
Core function is also influenced by posture, whole-body strength, and habitual movement patterns. Over time, these factors can contribute to ongoing core weakness, reduced confidence in movement, or a diastasis recti that doesn’t seem to improve despite exercise.
At SOMA, core and diastasis recti coaching begins with a detailed assessment of breathing mechanics, core coordination, strength, mobility, and balance. Where appropriate, we assess for diastasis recti and how your body is managing pressure during movement. From there, training is carefully tailored to support better coordination, improved posture, and progressive whole-body strength.
Through expert-led corrective exercise and movement coaching, SOMA helps you rebuild trust in your core, improve how your body manages load and pressure, and develop strength that supports everyday movement, exercise, and long-term function.
