exercises to alleviate back pain in pregnant women
I use cannabis https://cbd.market/brands/cannabis-beauty-defined as a pain reliever. I know that its utility is contested. But still, in my case, it helped me a lot.
Hello Rena Sered,
Nancy and Martin give you great advice.
The best way to handle comfort and back pain for pregnancy is to work with a doctor and trainer simultaneously. This is an important time in the life of multiple people and needs to be handled properly. You want to pay close attention to the woman and make sure you all have excellent communication with no assumptions.
Listen closely to the body and progress slowly. Not everything will work the same way for everyone.
Thank you,

This is very tricky. Back pain in pregnancy has more to do with the shifting and spreading of anatomic structures and the weight of the abdominal contents as the growing fetus and fluids push forward. Then there is the issue of physicians clearance to exercise. Any exercise that you might find should be pre-cleared with the OB/GYN prior to use. Any woman that was not exercising prior to becoming pregnant should also make sure that her doctor knows this before getting clearance. I wish more women considering having children would begin an exericse program prior to attempting conception. Many doctors that I know, will not give clearance to exercise if the mother didn’t begin to exercise at least as soon as they found out they were pregnant. So get clearance. Now with that said. I have found that if aquatic exercise has been cleared. This is the best exercise for pregnant women. Clearance should be obtained specifically for water based exercise. And the doctor should be asked when the water exercise should be discontinued, either for a cause like discomfort or for a timeline discontinuation for the course of the pregnancy. Most doctors have asked my pregnant clients to stop anywhere from the start of the last trimester to four weeks prior to their due date. Exercises should become more conservative as the pregnancy progresses. My experience has been that just being in the water for a while has helped with things like back pain. Which is just as likely due the relief from gravity as it is to the exercises performed.

Hello, Rena,
Since you just typed, “comfortable pregnancy,” and your post is titled alleviating back pain, I have an idea of what you are looking for, but could you be more specific?
1) First and foremost, does the client have permission from doctor to exercise / stretch and if so, are there any movements specifically contraindicated by their doctor?
2) What phase of pregnancy?
3) Where is the pain? Typically, it’s lower lumbar in the erector spinae team of muscles, but it’s better for me to ask than to assume.
