Summary
This study tests whether doing exercises in virtual reality can reduce lumbopelvic pain in women after childbirth. Thirty-four postpartum women will be randomly assigned to either a standard exercise program or a VR-based exercise program using a Meta Quest 2 headset. The main goal is to see if VR makes exercise more effective or enjoyable for pain relief.
