Effect of motor control training and breathing exercises on pain, disability and core muscle activity in women with postpartum lumbopelvic pain: a study protocol for randomised controlled trial study.

Introduction: Postpartum lumbopelvic pain (LPP) is a prevalent condition among women following childbirth. Due to the importance of respiratory muscles in lumbopelvic stability, and the changes they undergo during pregnancy, this study aims to assess the effects of motor control training and breathing exercises on pain, disability and core muscle activity in women suffering from LPP after childbirth.

Methods And Analysis: 52 women with postpartum LPP will participate in this two-parallel-armed, superiority randomised controlled trial, comprising 24 treatment sessions.
