This study aimed to address whether a water exercise programme improves pain and quality of life in pregnant patients with Pelvic Girdle Pain (PGP) compared to a land-based exercise programme and the feasibility of undertaking a large-scale research programme.
This study aimed to address whether a water exercise programme improves pain and quality of life in pregnant patients with Pelvic Girdle Pain (PGP) compared to a land-based exercise programme and the feasibility of undertaking a large-scale research programme. Twenty-three participants with diagnosed PGP, recruited at St George's Hospital London, were randomised into two groups (water or land exercise). Each group received, four, once-weekly exercise sessions on land or water. Exercise effects on PGP were measured using a variety of outcome measures. Outcomes were assessed at baseline and post four weeks exercise.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Water Exercise + advice | Experimental | Each group undertook four, once weekly exercise sessions (including a warm up, cool down, relaxation, pelvic control and stability exercise). Both programmes focused on similar exercise and muscle groups, but due to the aquatic medium programmes were unable to be exactly matched. |
|
| Land Exercise + advice | Experimental | Each group undertook four, once weekly exercise sessions (including a warm up, cool down, relaxation, pelvic control and stability exercise). Both programmes focused on similar exercise and muscle groups, but due to the aquatic medium programmes were unable to be exactly matched. |
