May not be muscle: Advanced pregnancy often causes back pain.Usually, pain is mechanical-due to stretching of ligaments as hormones cause their relaxation in preparation for birth.Rather than exercises, I often treat these pains w/ gentle osteopathic manipulation to guide bones back.It's highly effective-better than exercise, since weak muscles are rarely the issue.Some chiropractors are good,too; many are too rough
