Both intervention groups were instructed and trained by a physiotherapist 2times a week for 30 minutes each over 6 weeks, The sessions were held in a well-lit, clean and comfortable room with a temperature of 22-24 degrees. Women were asked to stop eating and wear comfortable clothes at least two hours before the sessions. Before the training, relaxation exercises and breathing techniques explained to the women. The women lied in the supine position firstly. Then the therapist instructed them to contract and release different muscle groups. They practiced tensing a muscle group until they felt the slight contraction and then released it, simultaneously relaxing other muscle groups. During the session, women were instructed to contract the muscles for 10-20 seconds during deep diaphragmatic breathing and to relax for 30-40 seconds while exhaling.
