First seen Aug 07, 2026 · Last updated Aug 13, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This trial tests whether doing core stability exercises via telerehabilitation works as well as in-person physiotherapy for postpartum women with diastasis recti, a condition where abdominal muscles separate. Participants will be randomly assigned to either remote or in-person supervised exercise sessions over 8 weeks. The study measures changes in the gap between abdominal muscles and body image satisfaction.
