The abdominal muscles - where your six-pack is (or should be) - are two flat and parallel muscles separated by a connective tissue called linea alba. Some people - for instance, women post-delivery - find that their linea alba can become separated, in a condition called diastasis recti. Consultant orthopaedic surgeon Dr Rajesh Singh joins us to take a peek at the linea alba, and to help us understand how fascia forms in our body, their functions, and consequences of their dysfunction.
