Core Tip	Postpartum rectus abdominis separation can cause abdominal distension, difficulty in defecation, and pelvic floor dysfunction. It significantly impacts body image and can lead to negative emotions such as anxiety and inferiority complex in women after childbirth, increasing the incidence of postpartum depression. This study describes the ability of massage in reducing the separation of the rectus abdominis muscle, waist circumference, and lower back pain and improving the patient’s mental state, which helps lower the risk of postpartum depression.
