Summary

This study tested whether doing special stretching exercises (Stretching Postural®) can help reduce lower back pain in pregnant women. 60 women with new back pain during pregnancy were split into two groups: one did the stretches plus usual care, the other had usual care alone. The goal was to see if the stretching group reported less pain and better quality of life after 8 weeks.
