Arms & Interventions
Deep breathing excercises
Deep breathing is known as diaphragmatic breathing, is a technique that is based on the notion that mind and body integration produces relaxation technique requires participants to contract the diaphragm, slowly inhaling and exhaling. Deep breathing appears to amplify blood oxygen levels, massages the inner organs located in or close to the abdomen, and possibly stimulates the vagus nerve
Intervention: Deep breathing excercises (Other)

Deep breathing excercise and progressive muscle relaxation
PMR involves participants actively contracting muscles to create tension and progressively releasing it. This routine is repeated until participants acquire complete relaxation

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Quality of sleep
Time Frame: 8 weeks
The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI )is a self-report questionnaire that assesses sleep quality over a 1-month time interval. The measure consists of 19 individual items, creating 7 components that produce one global score, and takes 5-10 minutes to complete.
Physical activity
Time Frame: 8 weeks
Physical activity limitation questionnaire is used to assess the limitation of physical activities due to pain after C-section. It consists of 8 items (sitting in bed, standing up, walking, performing personal hygiene, bathing, breastfeeding, eating and using a toilet) which rated as: 0= easy performed, 1= performed with difficulties, 2= performed with assistance, and 3=can't perform. The total scores ranged from 0 to 24. The women are considered to have: 0-6= No limitation of the physical activities 7-12 = Mild limitation of the physical activities 13- 18= Moderate limitation of the physical activities 19-24 = Severe limitation of the physical activities
Lowback pain
Time Frame: 8 weeks
The Oswestry Disability Index also known as the Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire and is an extremely important tool The test is considered the 'gold standard' of low back functional outcome tools.Most commonly used outcome-measure questionnaire for low back pain in a hospital setting. It is a self-administered questionnaire divided into ten sections designed to assess limitations of various activities of daily living.
