These events are largely due to pelvic floor dysfunction that develops after pregnancy. Kegel exercises and core stabilisation exercises performed in the postpartum period are important in preventing pelvic floor dysfunction. However, considering the mother's adaptation process to both the baby and her new life in the postpartum period, there may be problems with exercise compliance. Increasing exercise compliance through telerehabilitation can be effective in preventing pelvic floor dysfunction and improving women's quality of life.
