This work deals with diastasis of rectus abdominal muscle. The aim was to compare the effect of two conservative procedures for closing the abdominal wall defect. There were twelve women divided into two groups who were educated to exercise daily for half a year. The first group practiced dynamic neuromuscular stabilization (DNS) according to Kolář. The second group analytically strengthened the rectus abdominis muscle with manual correction of the abdominal wall. Both groups achieved a significant (p <0.05) reduction in maximum width and total area defined by the edge of the rectus abdominis muscle. Total length of diastasis was significantly reduced only within the first group of women. Both approaches have influence on the closing of diastasis. All patients in the first group reported a significant relief from back pain after a six-month exercise and three out of the four experienced adjustment of incontinence at the same time. Back pain persisted in the second group and incontinence resolved at two out of the three women.
