Summary

This study tested whether Klapp method exercises could help breastfeeding mothers with a hunched back (kyphosis) feel less pain and stand taller. Thirty-two mothers who had given birth by C-section and were nursing did either the Klapp exercises twice a week for a month or followed an at-home exercise plan. Researchers measured pain, spine curve, and breastfeeding confidence before and after treatment.
