TL;DR

Back care advice similar to that used in "low back pain schools' was made available to a group of primiparous women as early in their pregnancy as possible and it was shown that they experienced significantly less "troublesome' and "severe' backache than a control group for whom such advice was not available.

Abstract

Back care advice similar to that used in "low back pain schools' was made available to a group of primiparous women as early in their pregnancy as possible. Subsequently it was shown that they experienced significantly less "troublesome' and "severe' backache (P = less than 0.01) than a control group for whom such advice was not available.
