Effects of hypopressive exercises on post-partum abdominal diastasis, trunk circumference, and mechanical properties of abdominopelvic tissues: a case series.

Background: Abdominal diastasis (AD) is highly prevalent at post-partum. Although several conservative approaches have been proposed, an effective and protocolized treatment is lacking for this condition.

Objective: To identify modifications of inter-rectus abdominis distance (IRAD), trunk circumferences and mechanical properties of the AD, transversus abdominis and the pelvic floor (PF) muscles, after the application of hypopressive exercises (HE) and at a two-month follow-up in postpartum AD.
