Diastasis recti is characterized by an abnormal expansion of the gap between the medial sides of the rectus abdominis muscle and a lengthening of the linea alba (increased inter-recti distance). It is mainly caused by excessive intra-abdominal pressure. The abdominal muscles and connective structures expand from the growing uterus during pregnancy. Low back pain is a prevalent complaint that can result from various factors, including weakened core muscles and functional disability. The aim of the study would assess of combined effect of visceral manipulation and noble technique on Inter-rectal distance, low back pain and functional disability in post-partum females with diastasis recti.
