Effect of Core Stability Exercise on Lumbopelvic Pain Among Postnatal Women: An Evidence Based Study

Lumbopelvic pain is a common concern among postnatal women, significantly impacting their quality of life and daily functioning. This evidence-based study aimed to determine the scientific effectiveness of core stability exercises in alleviating lumbopelvic pain in this population. The study involved a systematic review of literature sourced from databases such as Google Scholar, PubMed, Wiley Online Library, TRIP, and CINAHL. Out of 70 initially identified records, eight studies met the eligibility criteria and were included in the final analysis. The findings consistently demonstrated that core stability exercises are highly effective in reducing lumbopelvic pain and improving functional outcomes in postnatal women. These exercises target the deep core muscles, enhancing muscular support and stability in the lumbopelvic region. This review underscores the importance of incorporating core stability exercises into postnatal rehabilitation programs to manage lumbopelvic pain effectively. Further research is recommended to explore long-term benefits and refine exercise protocols for diverse postnatal populations.
