This is a pilot study exploring how a 12-week telerehabilitation program can help new mothers manage diastasis recti abdominis (DRA)-a common trunk dysfunction which causes abdominal muscle separation after childbirth. Instead of needing to attend in-person sessions, participants are encouraged to join guided exercise sessions online, with real-time supervision from a physiotherapist. The study aims to assess participant satisfaction with the remote program using a standardized questionnaire. It also evaluates potential changes in abdominal muscle separation (diastasis) through ultrasound, improvements in trunk muscle endurance using functional tests, and changes in body image perception using a body image questionnaire.
