NCT ID NCT07613333
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a supervised weekly exercise program can help new mothers (up to 24 months after giving birth) increase their physical activity, improve muscle strength, and reduce common postpartum issues like pelvic floor problems and fear of movement. About 50 women will take part, and they can bring their children to remove a common barrier to exercise. The goal is to find better ways to help moms recover and feel their best.
