Tag: tummy gap

It can also be called Diastasis recti of the abdominal muscles (DRAM) or tummy gap. It is the widening and thinning of a small connective tissue which runs down our midlines, dividing our six pack muscle into two halves. This connective tissue is called the linea alba and it runs all the way from the bottom of our sternum to our pubic bone. As the tissue widens, the two halves of the six pack muscle move further apart, and this is where the term ‘tummy muscle separation’ comes from.
