Interventions
A program of abdominal exercises
All women in both groups will be adhered to a program of abdominal strengthening exercise that includes static abdominal, abdominal crunch, and external oblique exercises. Each exercise will be repeated 15 times and will be increased by five repetitions each week throughout the study period, with total time of 20 minutes/ session, 3 times weekly for 8 weeks.
High-intensity focused electromagnetic field
High-intensity focused electromagnetic field will be administered only to the experimental group, targeting the abdominal region for 30 minutes per session, twice weekly for 8 weeks. Sessions will be performed in the supine position, with the applicator centered over the umbilicus and secured to prevent movement. Stimulation intensity will start at 0% and be gradually increased to achieve strong yet tolerable muscle contractions, guided by continuous visual monitoring and patient feedback to ensure comfort and uniform abdominal activation.
