About 60% Of Women Will Have Problems With Abdominal Separation (Diastasis recti) Following Birth.
During pregnancy your stomach muscles can weaken and separate as your belly grows.
Some recover within 6 weeks of the postnatal period, 45% within 6 months, and about 30% may still have issues still 12 months after birth.
Targeted compression can help support your muscles as they move back into place.

About 30% of Babies Are Delivered by C-section
This is a major surgery where a cut is made through the abdominal wall and uterus.
While recovery is often cited at 4-6 weeks after surgery, 60% of women can still experience pain some 24 weeks after.
Following C-section surgery the abdominal muscles are even further weakened and in need of support. Compression can help support your abdomen during this time.
