The aim of this study is to compare the effects of two exercise programs in women with abdominal diastasis (AD) during the postpartum. One group will receive hypopressive exercises (HE) and the other will receive pilates exercise. The hypothesis of this study is that the execution of both protocols will offer benefits in the ultrasound values of the AD and in the data collected on the quality of life in the short term and 12 weeks after its completion.
