Ask an expert: Emma Brockwell on running with diastasis and getting rid of your 'mum tum'

Our expert this week is the brilliant Emma Brockwell, pelvic health physio therapist and author of “Why Did No One Tell Me?: How to Protect Heal and Nurture Your Body Through Motherhood". The question you lovely listeners want answered this week is: “When I was pregnant with my little boy I got diastasis. 18 months later and I still have what people refer to as the 'mum tum'. I really want to feel strong through my

middle again and not wobble but I’m not sure where to start so I just run, which I don’t think is helping. Should I be doing ab exercises?” Coming in hot from the treadmill, Amy shares her running update for the week and also her top post run snack.
