What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple, drug-free way to help women recover abdominal strength faster after surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase trial with only 60 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The exercises are gentle and low-risk, but the benefit may be modest.
