- Encourages patient recovery by allowing them to move more (while using)
- Reduces swelling, quickens and increases the overall quality of healing

- Spinal surgeries
Can the Oppo Abdominal Binder be Used for Postpartum Recovery?
Yes, the Oppo Abdominal Binder is great for postpartum recovery. Gentle compression and support will align the abdomen until the abdominal organs and muscles can bounce back to their pre-baby shape, which can also help with floppy and loose skin, and provide light compression to help the uterus shrink.
Can the Oppo Abdominal Binder Help with Diastasis Recti?
Once the connective tissue gets stretched out, it can be difficult to rebuild core strength and bring the muscles back together. Wearing an abdominal binder aids in holding the tissue, ligaments and bones in place to stabilise the pelvis. This allows patients to begin exercising while recovering.
