The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of hypopressive exercise in postpartum females with abnormal hyperlordosis and back pain.
Hypopressive exercises are safe and beneficial for new moms, as they can be started soon after delivery. They help strengthen postural muscles, reduce back pain, and manage pain by reducing intra-abdominal pressure, increasing activity of postural musculature, and normalizing myofascial tension.
38 postpartum women with abnormal hyperlordosis. The women were then divided into two equal groups. Group A(n=19) received hypopressive abdominal exercise along with traditional treatment for lower back pain (LBP), while Group B(n=19) received the same treatment without hypopressive exercise. The main outcomes measured were the the Revised Short McGill Pain Questionnaire Version-2, the lumbar lordotic angle, and the patient-specific functional scale.
