Summary

This trial tests a 12-week, physiotherapist-led online exercise program called POSH-Ex for women who recently gave birth. The program combines pelvic floor training, breathing exercises, and whole-body movements to improve sexual function and overall well-being. Researchers will compare outcomes between women who participate in the program and those receiving standard postpartum care. The goal is to see if this accessible approach can ease common postpartum issues like sexual dysfunction, fatigue, and low mood.

What this could lead to: If effective, this program could offer a standardized, accessible way to improve sexual function and quality of life for women after childbirth.
What could go wrong: This is a relatively small trial, and the benefits may not be confirmed or may not apply to all postpartum women. As with any exercise program, there is a small risk of injury or discomfort.
