Pregnancy pushes your body nearly as much as extreme endurance sports. SRC Recovery garments aid in the treatment of C-section wounds, Perineal trauma, Episiotomy wounds, Abdominal muscle separation (Diastasis Rectus Abdominus Muscle DRAM), Lower back pain. Unlike postpartum belly bands, SRC Recovery Shorts can treat multiple conditions, are more comfortable to wear and are more likely to be worn for longer periods therefore increasing their effectiveness. Muscle deactivation will occur if you pull the postpartum belly band too tight when putting it on. Postpartum belly bands should only be worn for short periods, 2-3 hours to prevent deactivation of your muscles. For information on health fund rebates, see here .
