Happy to see the update:) Good luck in certification week!
So great to hear an update. Would you mind explaining why you can't stretch your psoas? Im thinking of like warrior pose with your back knee down and pressing forward to get that front hip stretch. Or laying on the bed with one leg hanging down and the other pulled in. Is it a matter of whether or not you are able to keep the core stable in these poses?
Hi Jenny! Thanks 🙂 I'm sorry I was not clear on that point – I just meant that I seriously hate doing the psoas stretch. I think I hold my tension there and doing it makes me want to claw out an eyeball. To my knowledge it's not unsafe or bad for DR in any way. I do the warrior type version you're talking about mostly. It's a good one!
Excited to hear about certification week! I signed up a few weeks ago for the RE certification and I'm nervous and thrilled. Like you, I found Katy through MuTu and was so fascinated. 😊 good luck!!
Good luck with the certification. You will make a great RE specialist. You know what I'd have loved to see..a before and after picture of the DR…nothing like that for a confidence boost!!
Can you tell me what shoes you recommend please? Thanks!
What shoes do you recommend please? Thanks!
I have a *very* wide foot, so shoes are tough for me. I wear Vivobarefoot (vivobarefoot.com) and Camper's barefoot line (they have a yearly sale right before the holidays, fyi). Tbh, I've never found a shoe truly wide enough but those come close. TheDrifterLeather on Etsy will handmake shoes to your foot shape, which is nice! I have a pair of patent Tieks that I use for special occasions. They are way too narrow, but at least they're flat. I also have a pair of Minnetonka knee high fringe boots that I love, but that are also too narrow in the toes (anybody want to buy some lightly used size 7 boots?). 😉 Hope that helps!
Hi Edward! Thanks for stopping by. I'd start by getting Katy Bowman's book on Diastasis Recti because she covers lots of lifestyle changes and exercises that can be incorporated into your day. I think one of my biggest challenges with Mutu is that it feels like an event and events are easy to procrastinate on. 😉 Lifestyle changes, on the other hand, add up quickly and you can see results without feeling like you're "doing a program" if that makes sense.
