Comparison of Hypopressive Breathing and Noble Technique on DRA in Postpartum Women.

Comparison of Hypopressive Breathing and Noble Technique on Diastasis Recti Abdominis in Postpartum Women.

The aim of study is to compare the effect of Hypopressive breathing and noble technique on width of Diastasis Recti Abdominis, lumbopelvic pain and maternal functioning in postpartum women.

Candido shows that Caesarean section increased the likelihood of experiencing an increase in the inter-rectus distance during the postpartum period. Diastasis recti abdominis (DRA) is a common condition in postpartum women that can cause abdominal muscle separation. However, there is a lack of direct comparison between these two techniques. This study aims to compare the effectiveness of the hypopressive breathing and the Noble Technique in improving DRA in postpartum women.
