NCT ID NCT07702565

First seen Jul 14, 2026 · Last updated Jul 15, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether a 12-week exercise-based sensorimotor physiotherapy program can improve pelvic health and functional recovery in women who gave birth 6 weeks to 6 months earlier. Participants are randomly assigned to either the physiotherapy program or standard postpartum advice. The program includes exercises for pelvic floor activation, motor control, and sensory re-education. The goal is to see if this structured approach leads to better pelvic muscle control, fewer urinary symptoms, and improved quality of life compared to usual care.
