Description
Everyone talks about the TVA for diastasis healing. But this muscle gets overlooked, and it matters just as much.
Your serratus anterior.
It wraps around your ribs and attaches to your shoulder blade. It helps you reach, keeps your ribs from flaring, and lets your rib cage actually expand when you breathe.
When it’s weak:
→ Ribs flare
→ We can’t get that 360° expansion
→ Diaphragm can’t descend properly
→ Pressure pushes forward instead of being managed
→ Diastasis struggles to heal
This is why “just do planks” doesn’t fix diastasis for a lot of women. If your rib cage can’t move, the system can’t work.
A strong serratus helps you:
→ Keep ribs stacked over your pelvis
→ Breathe with real rib expansion
→ Support your deep core from the outside in
Cues to feel it working:
✔️ Ribs down
✔️ Reach long
✔️ Shoulders away from ears
We work the serratus a lot in my Reclaim YOU challenge because most women have never trained it.
