"DNS-based breathing exercises will be taught to the women in this group using tactile biofeedback. To create tactile stimulation, one of the hard sponges placed within a belt will be positioned anteriorly in the inguinal region, and the other posteriorly in the Grynfeltt-Lesshaft triangle region. Breathing training will be provided in 3 different positions: sitting, crawling, and happy baby pose.~Pelvic floor muscle training: PFME will consist of 2 parts: relaxation training for pelvic floor muscles and pelvic floor muscle exercises.~Pelvic floor muscles will be given relaxation training in 3 different relaxation positions (modified butterfly pose, child pose and deep squatting position) suggested by Çeliker Tosun et al.
