Noninvasive Treatment of Postpartum Diastasis Recti Abdominis: A Pilot Study
Conclusions:
Based on our preliminary data, exercise targeting the TRA may be an effective treatment method for reducing IRD. Further studies that include a larger patient population, particularly those with low back pain and pelvic floor dysfunction, are needed to replicate these findings and to establish a standardized exercise protocol for DRA.
