Preventing and Managing Back Pain During Pregnancy (ISBN 0975582623)

A much needed resource:
I'm now on my third pregnancy. My back pain has been worse each time. Until now I have not been able to find a book that specifically covers this topic. This book has provided me with a clear exercise plan which has really reduced my pain. I would recommend it to all pregnant women.

Ok!:
i got this book when i was pregnant, and could barely walk because of my back pain. it's good for women who may have never needed any thing for back pain. i personally didn't need the book, it didn't really help me much. i ended up just doing my usual back stretches, but modified them for my pregnancy.

Drawing upon clinical success & personal life experience:
Eighty percent of pregant women experience back pain, yet the majority of such cases can be prevented and managed successfully. Author Alicia Silva, who earned a Master of Science in Physical Therapy and applies her experience treating patients part-time while developing educational resources for women, presents Preventing and Managing Back Pain During Pregnancy as a helpful guideline drawing upon both clinical success and personal life experience. Chapters address exercise guidelines, cardiovascular conditioning, strength training, stretching, recommended postures, management of post-partum back pain, recommended daily programs, and much more. Simple black-and-white illustrations clarify the exercise guidelines in this superb and highly recommended work for expectant mothers everywhere.
