How to Tighten Ab Muscles (rectus diastasis)
after Pregnancy with Evolve TONE
The physical strain of carrying a growing child in the uterus for 40 weeks can wreak havoc on a woman’s abdominal muscles. Often women are left with loose, sagging ab muscles after pregnancy. Yet few busy mothers have time to spend hours at the gym to try and restore their abs to pre-pregnancy shape.
At SpaMedica in Grand Rapids, we offer state-of-the-art Evolve TONE radiofrequency muscle toning, to restore your abdominal muscles after pregnancy and delivery. This state-of-the-art, non-surgical treatment strengthens and tones ab muscles – with no surgery and no downtime in a just a few sessions.
How Pregnancy Stretches Ab Muscles
The two sides of the rectus abdominus (main abdominal muscle) are about a finger width apart and are held together by connective tissue. During pregnancy, as the baby grows, the uterus pushes farther and farther outward. To make enough room the tissue and the abdominal muscles become stretched and lengthened. This rapid stretching often weakens the abdominal muscles to appoint where they cannot “snap back”. Think of a rubber band that has been stretched out too many times…it simply loses its elasticity.
Depending on a variety of factors, including genetics, size of the baby, amount of weight gain, and the woman’s pre-pregnancy level of core strength, this pressure can cause the two sides of the ab muscle to push away from each other. When the separation becomes larger-than-normal – about two or more fingers – it can leave a visible bulge or “belly gap”. This condition is called diastasis recti.
Side Effects of Stretched Ab Muscles from Pregnancy
A person’s abdominal “core” is the foundation for many body functions. When the core is weakened by a stretched and/or separated abdominal muscle, it can lead to health problems, in addition to appearance concerns.
A weakened core is one of the reasons why many women may experience lower back pain, urinary incontinence, prolapse, sexual problems, and sciatica pain after pregnancy.
Evolve TONE for Post-Pregnancy Ab Muscle Toning
SpaMedica in Grand Rapids offers Evolve TONE – a new, state-of-the-art, non-surgical treatment which can restore, strengthen and tone muscles after pregnancy – without surgery and without exercise.
Evolve TONE works by applying electrical pulses that stimulate thousands of muscle contractions in the treated area in a short period of time. These muscle contractions are the equivalent of crunches – but are far more than could ever be achieved by exercise.
One Evolve TONE abdominal muscle toning session only take 30 minutes, but achieves the same results as thousands of crunches.
Benefits of Evolve TONE Post-Pregnancy Ab Muscle Toning
Evolve TONE is FDA approved for the abdomen – and can improve muscle tone and strength after pregnancy and delivery in as little 2 weeks. Typically only four 30 minutes muscle toning session are required over only a two-week period to restore pre-pregnancy muscle tone!
And, busy moms will be pleased to know that there is absolutely no recovery period or downtime after Evolve TONE – so you can return to work, daily activities or caring for your family immediately afterwards.
As an added bonus, Evolve TONE can also lift, firm and tone the buttocks to achieve the effect of a non-surgical butt lift!
Evolve TONE can also be used in combination with Evolve TRIM for abdominal fat loss and/or Evolve TITE for abdominal skin tightening – to tone, firm and define your abdominal area after having a child.
