Diastasis recti abdominis (DRA), also commonly known as abdominal separation, is a condition in which the connective tissue (linea alba) between the right and left side of the rectus abdominis (six-pack muscle) is widened.

If you suffer from pelvic floor dysfunction, Low Pressure Fitness (LPF) may be the answer to your problem.

Pelvic pain may also be associated with bladder, bowel, and/or sexual dysfunction.

Dyspareunia is a medical term for painful sexual intercourse. It is characterized by persistent or recurrent pelvic pain that occurs before, during, or after intercourse.
