Pregnant women frequently complain of low back discomfort associated with their pregnancies. On their quality of life, it could have a detrimental effect. Pregnancy-related low back pain (LBP) and pelvic girdle pain (PGP) are associated with substantial direct and indirect expenditures. Evidence addressing strategies to treat and prevent these illnesses needs to be clarified. This review aimed to examine the connection between exercise, LBP, and PGP. To find relevant studies (in the English language) that matched the inclusion and exclusion criteria, a systematic search of peer-reviewed literature was carried out using the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Scopus, the Web of Science, Pub Med, and ClinicalTrials.Gov. The publishing window was limited to the previous 10 years (2012-2022). Utilizing Review Manager version 5.4 (The Nordic Cochrane Centre, The Cochrane Collaboration, Copenhagen), the results were examined. JADAD ratings were used to evaluate the quality of the included studies. To analyze the endpoints, the mean, standard mean difference (SMD), and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were determined. We chose 16 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that included 1885 pregnant individuals with pelvic girdle and/or lower back discomfort. The combined data showed that the exercise group had lower VAS scores than the control group. The final result, however, did not significantly differ. Most of the studies had high JADAD scores, ranging from 3 to 5 points. Lower back pain and/or pelvic girdle discomfort during pregnancy are not influenced by exercise; however, women who are provided with a regular exercise program appear to manage the condition effectively with improved functional status.
