Belly and pelvic training after a planned cesarean
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.

This study tests a therapeutic exercise program to help women recover after a vaginal delivery. It aims to improve pelvic health and overall well-being in the weeks after childbirth.
This study tests whether a specific exercise program can help narrow and stiffen the connective tissue between your belly muscles after childbirth. If you have a natural separation of the belly muscles (diastasis), this exercise may help your core get stronger and reduce that gap.
This study tests whether Pilates and specific core exercises can help close the gap between abdominal muscles (called diastasis recti) that commonly happens after pregnancy. Diastasis recti can cause weakness and discomfort, and this trial evaluates whether these exercises improve that condition.
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 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 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.
