title: Reducing low back pain during pregnancy.
abstract: The importance of introducing a prenatal health teaching program, aimed at reducing low back pain during pregnancy cannot be overlooked. The principles of exercise that are presently incorporated into childbirth education classes are not usually introduced until the third trimester. These points could be more helpful to a woman if introduced earlier in pregnancy. By following the fundamental principles of good posture, proper body mechanics, exercise and the use of proper footwear, low back pain can be effectively reduced during pregnancy.
