EMBODY™ is the first non-surgical treatment that helps rebuild abdominal muscles and reduce ab separation (diastasis recti) post-pregnancy, with no downtime.
EMBODY™ Diastasis Recti (Abdominal Separation)


*Disclaimer: Results vary from patient to patient.
Diastasis Recti is a separation of the rectus abdominis (or ab-muscles that give the appearance of six-packs). Diastasis means separation and recti refers to the rectus abdominis. Also called abdominal separation, it is the result of the separation of two large vertical bands of muscles that meet in the centre of your abdomen (rectus abdominis), from their attachment point, (linea alba) that runs down the body’s midline. It can make the belly look loose and fatty, and also give the illusion of a pregnant belly.
EMBODY™ has been proven to help close the diastasis. The treatment can start 6 months after pregnancy and is safe during breastfeeding. A woman who suffers from it can find that it really helps start to bring her body back to the pre-pregnancy state, while also helping strengthen the core.
It is possible to use EMBODY™ to resolve diastasis even years after giving birth. There are a couple of factors which come into play as far as the result of this procedure is concerned. The severe your diastasis the longer it may take to heal.
Toning, contouring + defining muscle.

- EMBODY™ is patented technology based on high-intensity focused electromagnetic energy (HIFEM).
- A single EMBODY™ session causes thousands of powerful muscle contractions which are extremely important in improving the tone and strength of your muscles.
- EMBODY™ revolutionary as it has dual action, builds muscle and burns visceral fat, delivering the equivalent of 20,000 sit-ups or squats at 90% efficacy in one 30-minute session.
- EMBODY™ results in supramaximal muscle contractions per session, focusing on hard-to-tone areas. These deep, intense muscle contractions can’t be achieved voluntarily.
No Surgery, No Downtime, In + Out Procedure.

- Non-surgical, this means there is no anesthesia, no scarring and none to minimal downtime post your treatment.
- Grow muscle mass
- Burn fat quicker than a 30 minute workout
- Stay in shape
- Increase muscle definition to your abs and arms
- Improved posture by strengthening your core muscles
- Non-invasive fat reduction procedure, no needles and minimal downtime post your treatment.
- Minimal to no downtime, so you can walk in and out post procedure and resume normal activities.
- Anyone can benefit from an EMBODY™ treatment.
Medical Grade HIFEM.

- Body Sculpting Clinics only use advanced registered medical grade devices in our clinic that have been backed by sufficient clinical studies.
- The non-invasive HIFEM (High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic) technology induces supramaximal muscle contractions much stronger and faster than achievable through voluntary exercise.
- Four 30- minute treatments, performed at least 2 days apart, are recommended for best results, though more treatments can improve the area further.
- The vigorous contractions trigger a metabolic change in the overlying fat that leads to destruction of a percentage of the fat cells. Seven published studies showed an average of 16% increased muscle thickness and 19% decreased fat thickness in the abdomen.
- The studies also demonstrated over 10% reduction in the diastasis recti- the separation between the left and right abdomen muscles that is stretched by pregnancy.
- Once the technology is tested and approved, it continues to be regulated through post-market monitoring and standards enforcement.
What is Diastis Recti (Abdominal Separation)?
Diastasis Recti is the separation of the rectus abdominis muscles (the “six-pack” muscles), caused when two vertical muscle bands in the abdomen separate from their attachment point, the linea alba. This condition can make the belly appear loose, fatty, or even give the appearance of a persistent “pregnant belly.”
EMBODY™ has been clinically proven to help close the gap caused by diastasis. Safe to start 6 months post-pregnancy and during breastfeeding, it helps bring the body closer to its pre-pregnancy state by strengthening the core. Even years after childbirth, EMBODY™ can still be effective in addressing diastasis recti. The severity of the separation may affect the duration of treatment, but results are possible for all cases.
How it works
EMBODY™ uses HIFEM® (High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic) technology to induce intense muscle contractions in the abdominal muscles—contractions far more powerful than what can be achieved through regular exercise. These supramaximal contractions target the separated rectus abdominis muscles, helping to close the gap caused by diastasis recti and restore core strength.
Unlike traditional gym workouts, which cannot effectively reach and repair the deep muscle separation, EMBODY™ directly stimulates the muscles responsible for diastasis. This non-invasive treatment is safe to start 6 months post-pregnancy, requires no downtime, and offers a level of muscle activation that gym exercises simply cannot replicate.
Benefits
- Targets deep muscle separation: Reaches and strengthens the abdominal muscles more effectively than any traditional gym workout.
- Non-surgical solution: No needles, incisions, or anesthesia required.
- Restores core strength: Helps rebuild and strengthen the abdominal muscles to close the gap caused by diastasis recti.
- Improves posture: Strengthening the core can lead to better posture and support.
- Safe post-pregnancy: Can be started as early as 6 months after childbirth and is safe during breastfeeding.
- No downtime: Walk in, walk out with no recovery period needed.
- Long-lasting results: Clinically proven to help restore the abdominal structure, even years after giving birth.
Ideal Candidate
- Post-pregnancy: Ideal for women who have experienced abdominal muscle separation (diastasis recti) after childbirth.
- Seeking non-surgical solutions: Perfect for those looking to restore core strength without surgery or invasive procedures.
- Close to their target weight: Best suited for individuals who are near their ideal weight but struggling with muscle separation.
- Mild to moderate diastasis: Most effective for cases where the muscle separation isn’t too severe, but results can be seen across various levels.
Not Suitable For:
- Pregnant individuals.
- Those with metal implants or pacemakers.
- Individuals with severe diastasis recti requiring surgical intervention.
- Those with medical conditions affecting muscle or nerve function.
Technology
EMBODY™ uses HIFEM® (High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic) technology to induce supramaximal muscle contractions that go far beyond what can be achieved through traditional exercise. These powerful contractions target the separated abdominal muscles, promoting muscle repair and helping to close the gap caused by diastasis recti.
Unlike gym workouts, which are unable to reach deep enough to effectively treat muscle separation, EMBODY™ directly stimulates the rectus abdominis muscles. This advanced technology triggers the natural healing process, gradually restoring core strength and stability. The non-invasive nature of the treatment means there are no needles, incisions, or downtime, making it a safe and convenient option for post-pregnancy recovery.
EMBODY™ is the only technology on the market specifically designed for muscle building and repair, offering an effective, clinically proven solution for diastasis recti.
