Summary
This study tests whether soft tissue mobilization—a type of hands-on therapy—can improve scar flexibility, reduce pain, and enhance muscle function and posture in women who had a C-section. Participants will receive either deep or superficial tissue treatment or a sham procedure. The goal is to see if this approach helps with common post-C-section issues like pelvic pain and limited mobility.
