In today's episode of the PT on ICE Daily Show, ICE Pelvic division leader Alexis Morgan discusses diastasis recti, a common issue encountered in clinical practice. Building on previous discussions from earlier this year, she emphasizes the importance of measuring interrectus distance (IRD) versus measuring strength.

Alexis provides valuable insights for clinicians working with individuals affected by diastasis recti, focusing on practical approaches to loading and strengthening.
