Summary

This study compares two exercise programs—Pilates and progressive prone planks—to see which works better for women with diastasis recti, a condition where the abdominal muscles separate after pregnancy. About 34 women who gave birth 6 to 12 months ago will participate. Researchers will measure pain, muscle strength, and the size of the abdominal gap to find the most effective approach.
