Study Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a physical therapy program which includes scar management, core retraining, and lumbar and pelvic joint mobilization will significantly impact the postpartum recovery following Cesarean section during the immediate postpartum period and during the first 1.5 years following childbirth. All patients who enroll in the study will receive standard treatment following a C-section delivery. Subjects will be randomized into one of two groups; one group will receive physical therapy in addition to standard post C-section treatment, and the other group will receive standard post C-section treatment with no additional physical therapy. Both groups will complete questionnaires regarding their pain and recovery from C-section delivery to determine if there is a difference in recovery between the group receiving physical therapy and the group not receiving physical therapy.
Primary Outcome
The change in the Oswestry Disability Index from 8 week baseline to subsequent time points.
