Summary

The goal of this study is to learn whether tele-rehabilitation helps postpartum women recover from low back pain after a cesarean section (C-section). The study will also look at whether tele-rehabilitation helps reduce fatigue, improve psychological well-being, and make daily activities easier.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Does tele-rehabilitation reduce low back pain in postpartum women after a C-section?
* Does it reduce postpartum fatigue?
* Does it improve psychological well-being?
* Does it improve the ability to perform daily activities?

Participants will:

* Be selected using a computer-generated random sampling method from eligible postpartum women.
* Complete assessments before and after the treatment program.
* Receive therapeutic exercises and ergonomic education through tele-rehabilitation if assigned to the intervention group.
* Receive ergonomic education about posture, breastfeeding, lifting, carrying, and back care if assigned to the control group.
* Complete questionnaires about their pain, fatigue, psychological well-being, and ability to perform daily activities.

The study may help determine whether tele-rehabilitation is a practical way to provide physiotherapy support to women recovering at home after a C-section.
