Introduction and Aim: Diastasis recti has been defined as impairment characterized by separation of two rectus abdominis muscles along the linea alba common during and after pregnancy. Due to increased stretch of rectus abdominis induced by expanding uterus that leads to lumbo pelvic instability and pelvic floor muscle weakness. It causes an increase in abdominal circumferences, low back pain together with dissatisfaction about body shape altered self-esteem and disadvantage in inter personal relationship. The study focuses on reducing the intra recti distance and improving the core muscle stability in postpartum women. To find the effectiveness of kinesiotaping on diastasis recti in postpartum women. Materials and methods: Thirty postpartum women were selected, based on selection criteria among them fifteen women were group A and another fifteen were group B and with the knowledge of the subjects, Vernier caliper and waist circumference and intra recti distance was done to assess the diastasis recti. Group A undergone kinesiotaping with core strengthening exercises and group B undergone post-partum belt with core strengthening exercises. Post test was done after eight weeks using Vernier caliper and intra recti distance. Results: There was significant difference between two groups was improving the core stability. In group A (kinesiotaping and core strengthening exercises) were more effective than group B (post-partum belt with core strengthening exercises). This implies that kinesiotaping is most beneficial in improving core stability.
