Overview
Brief Summary
The objective of this research is to compare the efficacy of stabilization exercise versus pelvic girdle pain thrust manipulation technique in females with postpartum pain.
Detailed Description
Pelvic-girdle pain is a mechanical disorder growing rapidly as a consequence of changing delivery pattern and changing lifestyle. Medication with synthetic drugs not only has been unable to effectively curtail the spread of this disease conditions but also is most of the times linked with co-occurring side-effects. The exercise and manual therapy-based approach could lead in reducing the functional limitations and morbidity rate in females with the postpartum pain. This research could also help in spreading the awareness globally, to Prenatal and Postnatal Hospital Caregivers.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Visual analog scale
Time Frame: 2 months
The visual analog scale (VAS) is a validated, subjective measure for acute and chronic pain. Scores are recorded by making a handwritten mark on a 10-cm line that represents a continuum between "no pain" and "worst pain."
Oswestry disability index
Time Frame: 2 months
The ODI score (index) is calculated as: If all 10 sections are completed the score is calculated as follows: if 16 (total scored) out of 50 (total possible score) x 100 = 32% If one section is missed (or not applicable) the score is calculated: If 16 (total scored) / 45 (total possible score) x 100 = 35.5%
