- How to best arrange information in each section
- How data in each section is used to inform the clinical decision-making process
- Importance of linking information in each section to evaluation note
- Identification of the components of a SOAP note related to reimbursement
- Please remember to cite in APA format
- Class PowerPoints should not be the only resource.
- For any resource used, please put the information in your own words (paraphrase).

The results of this study show improvement in the two women who received the therapeutic exercise.
There was a reduction averaging from 9.2 cm to 3.4 cm wide after 6 weeks of therapy.
This case report aimed to find if therapeutic exercise assisted in the reduction in diastasis recti. This study included three women ranging from 27 to 33 years with post-partum diastasis recti, and they were all recruited from a privately owned gym
Therapeutic Exercise in the Reduction of Diastasis Recti
Measurements:
The finger-width technique and Dial Calipers were used to measure the width of the gap in the abdominals.
Not addressing diastasis recti can end up with long term complications like hernias, lower back, and pelvic pain, and postural imbalances.
Separation may also worsen if unaddressed.
PTAs have the skill set to educate their patients on abdominal engagement, postural corrections, and therapeutic exercise to address the abdomen's muscular deformity and physical appearance.
Addressing posture, abdominal education, and proper body mechanics, will provide the best outcome in the reduction of Diastasis Recti
