What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Diastasis Recti Abdominis (DRA) is the separation of the rectus abdominis muscles along the linea alba, commonly seen after childbirth due to the mechanical and hormonal changes that occur during pregnancy. DRA can negatively affect posture, trunk stability, and breathing patterns, and may result in persistent lumbopelvic pain and weakened core muscles if not properly managed. Although hypopressive exercises and abdominal bracing have individually demonstrated positive effects in reducing inter-recti distance and improving core function, limited research exists regarding their combined effects. This randomized clinical trial aims to evaluate the combined impact of hypopressive exercises and abdominal bracing on inter-recti distance, lumbopelvic pain, and abdominal muscle strength in postpartum women with DRA. The study will include 34 postpartum women recruited from Jinnah Hospital, Laho
