Our patient has quite a significant gap between her rectus abdominis muscles after having twins. It has already reduced to 6 fingers width at the umbilicus from 9. Besides manual therapy and therapeutic prescriptive exercises, improving connective tissue laxity can be achieved through taping. Providing support through specific taping can really help reduce the gap and give the patient an added awareness of utilizing those muscles for stabilizing her trunk. She also wears an abdominal binder.
