Summary
This study tests whether combining trunk stabilization exercises with breathing muscle training can reduce diastasis recti abdominis (abdominal muscle separation) in postpartum women. 48 women with a gap larger than 2.8 cm will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: trunk exercises alone, breathing training alone, or a control group. The goal is to find a safe, effective exercise program to improve function and reduce the gap.
