This study was conducted to determine the effect of endermology on postpartum abdominal obesity. Fifty postpartum women diagnosed clinically by gynecologist/ physician as postpartum women with abdominal obesity; they were selected from outpatient clinic of obstetrics and gynecology in damanhour medical national institute. They suffered from abdominal obesity based on BMI, waist hip ratio and skin fold thickness assessment. Their age ranged from 25 to 35 years. Their body mass index (BMI) 30 kg/m². They were assigned randomly into two groups (A, B) equal in numbers. Group A (control group) received aerobic exercise, 30 minutes, 3 times per week for 6 weeks. While, group B (study group) received aerobic exercise plus endermology on abdomen for 30 minutes per session, 3 times/week for 6 weeks. Abdominal obesity was evaluated by BMI, waist hip ratio and skin fold thickness assessment before and after the intervention. The results of this study revealed that there was a statistically highly significant decrease in mean value of waist hip ratio, skin fold thickness of study group (B) who received endermology and aerobic exercise when compared with its corresponding value in control group (A) who received aerobic exercise only. Therefore, it could be concluded that endermology was an effective method in decreasing postpartum abdominal obesity
