This trial tests if using a special ultrasound to show pelvic floor muscle movement during exercises helps new mothers strengthen their pelvic floor better than standard therapy alone. It is for women who gave birth vaginally within the past 4 months.
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.
