Summary

The objective of the study will be to assess the efficacy of foam rolling alone and combination treatment of foam rolling and Kegel exercises in alleviating urinary incontinence among postpartum women with diastasis recti.

The data will be collected from 60 enrolled postpartum females with diastasis recti to evaluate the effectiveness of foam rolling alone compared to foam rolling and Kegel exercises in improving urinary incontinence. The data will be collected using urogenital distress inventory (UDI).

Conditions

Interventions

COMBINATION_PRODUCT

Kegel exercises

Kegel exercises, also known as pelvic floor exercises, involve contracting and relaxing the muscles of the pelvic floor to strengthen them. These exercises can help improve urinary and fecal continence, potentially enhance sexual function, and are recommended for both men and women.

COMBINATION_PRODUCT

Kegel exercises with Foam Rolling

Foam rolling can be a helpful tool to prepare for or complement Kegel exercises by releasing tension in surrounding muscles and improving overall pelvic floor function. Foam rolling can help address tight muscles in the hips and lower back that can contribute to pelvic floor dysfunction. By releasing these tight areas, foam rolling can allow for better engagement and control of the pelvic floor muscles during Kegel exercises.
