Summary
This study tests whether a 12-week program of Baduanjin, a gentle Chinese mind-body exercise, can reduce low back and pelvic pain in pregnant women. Researchers will enroll 84 women with single pregnancies between 14-20 weeks. The goal is to see if this safe, drug-free approach improves pain and quality of life.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a safe, drug-free way to ease pregnancy-related back and pelvic pain and improve daily function.
