Therefore, it is crucial to prevent and manage this pain through appropriate health care, including guidance on physical exercise. One of the currently recommended interventions is the Pilates method. However, health care professionals caring for pregnant women must have the necessary knowledge, tools, and resources to advise their patients. This study aimed to examine the impact of Pilates method practice on pregnancy\u2010related pain.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>A quasiexperimental study was conducted in multiple primary care centers between November 2018 and December 2019. Participants (n = 107) self\u2010selected to receive a Pilates program (experimental group; n = 38) or their usual care (control group; n = 69). The presence or absence of pelvic, dorsal, and abdominal pain was evaluated as an outcome measure. The results were compared after the intervention, using descriptive, bivariate, and multivariate statistics.
