The outcome measure is PFDIQ-20 was taken before and after intervention in this study. Results: After six-week intervention, the results indicate that the intervention group had shown significant improvements in pelvic floor muscle activity with a p value of <0.0001 for PFDIQ-20. Conclusion: The results showed that pelvic floor strengthening exercises were effective and improve the pelvic floor muscle activity in postpartum women.
