Overview

Retrospective study demonstrates enhanced diaphragmatic and pelvic function in postpartum women using structured breathing and PFMT.

Key Points

  • To evaluate how structured breathing and pelvic floor muscle training affect postpartum biomechanical recovery.
  • Retrospective study with 82 postpartum women from June 2023 to June 2025.
  • Participants were assigned to a combined group (breathing + PFMT, n=41) or control group (PFMT only, n=41).
  • Analyses included inter-group comparisons, correlation, and regression.
  • Combined group showed greater diaphragmatic excursion (1.2 vs. 0.3 cm, p<0.001).
  • Pelvic floor contraction pressure increased more substantially (16.7 vs. 4.3 cmH2O, p<0.001).
  • Core stability and recovery were significantly superior in the combined group (p<0.05).
