Here are some real-life results from Chess PT clients:
Cheryl-Lynn (30 years old - postpartum mum with diastasis recti)
"I've had a very positive experience with hypopressives. I didn't know what to expect coming to these sessions but by doing so I've significantly improved my inner core that I thought wasn't possible. Even though the exercises were not strenuous, I did feel like I had a good workout - even just from performing apneas. I'm very happy with the results of hypopressives. As a former athlete and new mum, I can certainly say I feel I'm back on track to my former pre-pregnant physique." - Cheryl-Lynn

Overall 2cm reduction of diastasis, and improvements in abdominal and diaphragmatic tonicity.
