Postpartum Physiotherapy Rehabilitation for Low Back Pain: A Systematic Review

Mayank Kumar, Danishta


Abstract: Background: Postpartum low back pain is a prevalent condition that significantly impacts the quality of life for many women after childbirth. Physiotherapy has emerged as a key intervention for managing this condition, but there remains variability in the evidence supporting its effectiveness. Methods: A systematic review of studies published between 2010 and 2024 was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of physiotherapy interventions for postpartum low back pain. Databases such as PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Scopus were searched. Included studies focused on physiotherapy-based treatments, including exercise programs, manual therapy, and multimodal approaches. Data on pain intensity, functional outcomes, and quality of life were analyzed. Results: The review found that physiotherapy, particularly stabilizing exercises and core-strengthening programs, significantly reduced pain intensity and disability while improving physical function and quality of life. Multimodal strategies that combined manual therapy, patient education, and ergonomic advice yielded enhanced outcomes. However, variability in study methodologies, sample sizes, and follow-up durations was noted, limiting the generalizability of the findings. Conclusion: Physiotherapy is an effective intervention for managing postpartum low back pain, with exercise-based programs playing a critical role in recovery. While the findings are promising, further high-quality research is needed to establish standardized protocols and long-term efficacy. Individualized, evidence-based physiotherapy approaches should be integral to postpartum care for optimizing recovery and improving maternal well-being.
