This study looks at how well the pelvic floor (the muscles supporting your bladder, uterus, and bowel) recovers after a vaginal birth. It tests whether starting gentle exercises soon after delivery helps improve recovery.
This trial compares two exercise programs to help women strengthen their pelvic floor after childbirth. It tests whether a rehabilitation exercise protocol or Swiss ball training is more effective for reducing urinary incontinence.
This study tests whether a specific, guided pelvic floor exercise program can help women who had a serious tear during childbirth improve their pelvic floor muscle strength. It's for women who had that kind of tear in the past year and haven't yet been taught pelvic floor exercises by a specialist.
This study tests whether special breathing exercises combined with pelvic floor strengthening exercises (Kegel's) help postpartum women recover core strength and reduce pain. You'd do these exercises for a set period to see if they help close the gap between your abdominal muscles after pregnancy.
This study tests a special exercise program for the belly and pelvic area after a cesarean delivery. It may help improve the separation of belly muscles (diastasis recti) and sexual function.
This trial compares two ways to help women recover from pelvic floor issues after childbirth: a structured outpatient rehab program vs. a self-training program at home. It aims to see which is better for treating and preventing problems like leakage or poor muscle tone.
