BEHAVIORAL

Rehabilitate your core

The intervention was an online exercise program \"Rehabilitate your core,\" designed for postpartum women by a company called Nordic Fit Mama. Its primary goal is to fortify the core and pelvic floor muscles to enhance the recovery process after childbirth, while also emphasizing overall well-being. The program is accessible through a website and is intended to be completed independently over a span of 6 weeks. Each week focuses on a specific theme, encompassing six to seven subtopics. The regimen follows a progressive structure, starting with the identification of pelvic floor and core muscles and gradually advancing to exercises aimed at strengthening them. The exercises, which last around 10 minutes each, are tailored to integrate seamlessly into daily life. Comprising 25 instructional exercise videos and 13 guidance videos, the program only necessitates access to a device for logging into the platform.
