Alta Bates has two - Julia Chadwick and another whose name I don't know. They work out of the women's center in Lafayette as well as Alta Bate's Oakland office and they do take insurance.
Not a physical therapist but I’ve really liked an app called Every Mom. It leads you through daily exercises to address diastasis and it’s supposed to be pretty effective. I’m just in the early stages of the program but think it’s really well done.
I went to Alta Bates Physical Therapy on Telegraph for this. I forgot my PT’s name but she was great.
Karen Hodges who works in Oakland and SF has been amazing in my experience so far. However I'm not sure if she accepts insurance. At least, mine doesn't cover her practice.
I don’t have a physical therapist rec, but I did do a home postpartum workout plan from a personal trainer that was incredible for diastasis recti and pelvic floor healing & strengthening. Message me if you’d like the info. It’s a 12 week program with videos (for 4 days a week) that last 20-30 minutes. $100. It was amazing.
