Aim: This study was conducted to determine the effect of intermittent pneumatic compression belt on postnatal diastasis recti. Subjects: Thirty postnatal women with diastasis recti participated in this study. They were selected from obstetrics and gynecology outpatient clinic at El-minia general hospital, their age ranged from 25-35 years and their BMI was 25-35kg/m2, they were randomly distributed into two equal groups: Study group who received diet (1200 kcal/day), selected exercises program and intermittent pneumatic compression belt for six weeks and control group who received diet (1200 kcal/day) and selected exercises program for six weeks. Assessment of all women in both groups was carried out before and after treatment program through assessment of weight, BMI, waist circumference, W/H ratio, inter-recti distance(above and below umbilicus) and abdominal fat thickness. Results: the result of this study showed a statistical significant improvement (decrease) in weight, waist circumference, BMI, waist/hip ratio, inter-recti distance (above and below umbilicus) and abdominal fat thickness in both groups but in favoring to group A. Conclusion: usage of intermittent pneumatic compression belt is an effective method for reducing inter-recti separation and abdominal fat thickness in postnatal diastasis recti
