Egypt38 participantsStarted 2024-03-01

Plain-language summary

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of hypopressive exercise in postpartum females with abnormal hyperlordosis and back pain. Hypopressive exercises are safe and beneficial for new moms, as they can be started soon after delivery. They help strengthen postural muscles, reduce back pain, and manage pain by reducing intra-abdominal pressure, increasing activity of postural musculature, and normalizing myofascial tension.
