Summary

This study tested whether regularly doing a set of gentle stretching poses (Stretching Postural®) could help pregnant women with new lower back pain. Sixty women with low-risk pregnancies were split into two groups: one received standard advice plus the stretching routine, the other got advice only. The goal was to see if the stretching group reported less pain and better daily function over 8 weeks.
