“…As to the exercises that were supervised by different therapists, previous studies found that these strategies were efficient for pregnancy low back and pelvic pain (8)(9)(10). The importance of supervision during the exercises for the treatment and prevention of low back pain is also emphasized in studies that did not focus solely on pregnant women (45,46).…”

“…The fact that there is no consensus about the duration and frequency of the interventions was also found by other studies that assessed the effects of the exercises on pregnant women. The studies by Elden et al (8) and Kordi et al (11) showed that exercises performed during six weeks reduced pelvic pain, and according to Kluge et al (10) an exercise program that lasted 10 weeks reduced the intensity of pregnancy low back pain and increased the functional capacity of the participants. The studies by Garashabi et al (9) and Schim et al (26) found a reduction in the intensity of low back and conflicting evidence, because they differed as to the duration of the interventions, the effects on pain intensity and on functional limitations; on the study that found positive results (37), the duration of the intervention was only a week.…”

“…Other published RCTs have shown benefits from interventions with exercises that were not specifically conducted by physical therapists (9,10). A systematic review conducted by Pennick and Liddle (16) included a total of 23 studies, and seven specifically assessed exercises for pregnancy low back pain, comprising mat or aquatic exercises, not limited to exercises supervised by physical therapists.…”

“…Among various techniques used for this purpose are therapeutic exercises, including aerobic ones, and ones for muscle strengthening, breathing, stretching and flexibility. Therapeutic exercises provide muscle strength, positive psychological effects and improvement in body posture, while also helping to develop the ability to concentrate and relax (2,(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11).…”

Introduction: During pregnancy, a woman's body goes through many changes, and lower back and pelvic pain are common and may persist after pregnancy. Although the literature point physical therapy as an effective therapeutic tool, there are few studies on the effects of physical therapy intervention through exercises for this purpose. Objective: To perform a systematic review on the use of Physiotherapy, through therapeutic exercises, for the prevention and treatment of pregnancy low back and pelvic pain. Methods: A systematic search for randomized trials (RCTs) was conducted on the databases PubMed, PEDro, Cochrane, EMBASE, LILACS and Periódicos Capes. There was no date or language restriction. The terms included in the search were: "pregnancy", "low back pain", "pelvic pain", "exercise therapy" and their descriptors in Portuguese. Methodological quality was assessed using the PEDro scale and a descriptive analysis of the studies was performed. Results: Eight studies, including 1781 pregnant women, were selected. Among them, one study addressed the issue of low back pain, two focused on pelvic pain and five on low back and/or pelvic pain. Seven studies presented high methodological quality, and only one study had low methodological quality. Limited evidence on low back pain was found, and conflicting evidence on pelvic pain, and low and/or pelvic pain. Conclusion: RCTs on the subject are scarce and heterogeneous, making it impossible to reach a consensus

“…The beneficial effect can be still visible as long as two years later [17,18]. Some authors reported a positive effect of stabilizing exercises as early as in the pregnancy period [16,19,20]. There is limited evidence, however, on the specificity of the training and exercises that should be done, since only a few studies investigated the impact of a particular type of movement activity [21].…”
