Diastometer™

The purpose of the Diastometer™ is to provide a standardized method of measurement for checking diastasis recti in centimeters. You can use it to check yourself or be checked by a professional.  The Diastometer™ has two parts to it. The “belt” to check the distance of the separated muscles and the “finger cot” to measure the condition of the connective tissue.  Instructions for putting on the Diastometer™ belt. If you are checking yourself, then put the belt on so the word belly button and the numbers are facing you so you can read them. If you are checking someone else, then the word belly button and the numbers should be facing you, not the person being measured. Put the belt on with the word belly button over your belly button and velcro in the back. The loop piece of velcro stretches to accommodate various sizes. The hook piece can be cut or folded in half to fit you. Do not put it on too tight, you will want to be able to move the belt closer to the area where you are checking.
