SRC shorts are MEDICAL grade compression- i.e. They are designed to provide the right amount of compression to promote tissue healing. They come up to the bra line which supports and draws together the ENTIRE abdominal wall- this is how they assist with closing the separation.
SRC shorts are specifically designed to close abdominal muscle separation and provide support to the pelvis- and that’s what they do.
SRC Recovery Shorts are a medically designed garment that must not be tight. SRC Recovery Shorts provide the “sense” of where the body is by compressing the muscles around the trunk and pelvic girdle which creates a better connection with the brain. In this way it becomes easier to “feel” the muscles contract and this in turn facilitates more contractions which provide better support for the abdomen, lower back and pelvis- essential in post-partum.
