Summary

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.

Conditions

  • Diastasis Recti

Interventions

OTHER

visceral manipulation and noble technique

First, the patient will lie face-up on a massage or exam table. Physiotherapists feel viscera, major internal organs located in the abdomen by lightly pressing through abdominal muscles. Physiotherapist manual poking, pressing, and massage actions do three things: 1. Reveals visceral adhesions. 2. Find tender spots. 3. Breaks up adhesions. Massaging and pressing stretch the collagen fibers that makeup fascia, which loosens tightly bound fibers to break up adhesions. This releases the organs and allows them to move more freely. Minor adhesions may resolve after one session. Tough, stubborn adhesions may require several sessions plus self-manipulation between sessions

OTHER

noble technique

The patient is positioned in supine with both knees bent and feet flat on a firm surface. The patient then places her crossed hands over her abdomen to support and pull the rectus abdominis muscles towards the midline. Finally, the patient is asked to slowly raise her head until a slight contraction is felt in the abdomen, holding for 20 seconds and repeating the exercise up to 20 times a day
