Physiotherapy with kinesiotherapy and physical agents to reduce postpartum diastasis recti: a randomised trial

Key Points

• This research aims to determine the effectiveness of combined kinesiotherapy and physical agents in treating postpartum diastasis recti.
• Randomised trial design
• Involved postpartum women with diastasis recti abdominis
• Participants received either combined treatment or single interventions
• Measured inter-rectus distance and abdominal circumference
• Combined therapy significantly reduced inter-rectus distance
• Abdominal circumference also decreased more with the combination treatment than with individual approaches
• Findings support the superiority of using both therapies together for enhancing recovery
