Can special exercises heal postpartum belly separation without surgery?
NCT ID NCT07642141
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether combining two types of exercises—hypopressive exercises and abdominal bracing—can help postpartum women with diastasis recti, a condition where the abdominal muscles separate. Thirty-four women will be split into two groups: one doing both exercises, the other doing only hypopressive exercises plus standard care. The goal is to see if the combo reduces pain, improves muscle strength, and decreases the gap between muscles.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
hypopressive exercises and abdominal bracing
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, non-surgical exercise routine to reduce pain and improve core strength in postpartum women with diastasis recti.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 34 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The exercises require proper technique and may not work for all cases.
