Testing a new device for tummy muscle separation after childbirth
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests a treatment that uses a special electromagnetic field device to help close the gap in your tummy muscles that can happen after having a baby. It is for women who gave birth at least 6 months ago and still have a separation that is wider than 2.5 cm at the belly button.
