Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Postpartum period can affect the mental and physical health of women. Women may experience sleep problems and psychological problems due to hormonal changes and newborn care responsibilities. As a result, mother-infant attachment may also be affected. Physical activity and exercise should be encouraged in the postpartum period. It is known that aerobic exercises have positive effects on sleep and psychological problems. With the effects of connective tissue massage on the autonomic and circulatory system in the body, positive effects on sleep and psychological state can be achieved, but there are insufficient studies on this subject. In addition, no study has been found to the best of our knowledge comparing the effects of aerobic exercise and connective tissue massage in postpartum women.
