Application of a commercial hot pack to the lumbar region for 20-30 minutes per session, twice daily, for 6 weeks.

is an evidence-based rehabilitation approach, focused on retraining movement patterns by addressing and improving motor control of the lumbar spine and pelvis, correcting faulty movement strategies, enhancing stability in functional tasks. The principles of KCT entail the identification of direction-specific motor control deficit, uncontrolled extension, followed by focused retraining of movement control through specific exercises designed to improve the coordination and activation of deep stabilizing muscle systems, including the transversus abdominis, multifidus, and pelvic floor muscles. This approach is especially relevant in postpartum women, where motor control deficits and poor load transfer capabilities are commonly observed . Based on the clinical presentation of patients with postnatal low back pain, demonstrated symptoms that were aggravated during lumbar extension movements or when maintaining prolonged upright postures.
