What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

This clinical trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of different therapies for treating Diastasis Recti Abdominis (DRA) in postpartum women. DRA, commonly experienced after childbirth, involves the separation of abdominal muscles, which can lead to discomfort and decreased core stability. The main questions this study seeks to answer are: How effective are Visceral Manipulation (VM), Kinesio Taping (KT), and core strengthening exercises in reducing the gap between abdominal muscles (Inter-Recti Distance or IRD)? Do these treatments improve pain levels, pelvic floor muscle strength, and urinary incontinence? This study will compare the effects of VM, KT, a combination of both, and core strengthening exercises to determine which therapy-or combination of therapies-most effectively treats DRA. Participants will: Be randomly assigned to one of four treatment groups: VM, KT, VM combined
