Abstract
Seventy five percent of pregnant women in the world is reported to experience pains in back and waistduring their pregnancies. These pains are frequently worsening in the following months as the pregnancies are growing. A study conducted in Gresik on 13 pregnant mothers implementing pelvic rocking in their gyms found that 46.2% of the subjects could decrease the pain scale into no pain, 23.1% into moderate, 15.35% into slight pain, and 15.35% showed no pain decrease. A previous study on trimester-III-pregnant women in Private Midwifery Service in Palembang found that four of five pregnant women experienced pains in back and hip. These pains were relieved if the muscles of back and waist were stretched. This study aimed at knowing the effect of pelvic rocking on the relief of back pain in pregnant women. This study was a quasi-experimental design pre-post test with control group design. The sample of study was 60 pregnant women collected with purposive sampling technique. The steps taken to prepare data for analysis were editing, coding, processing and cleaning. Statistical analysis used independent t-test and the results were presentedin the forms of univariate, bivariate, and multivariate analysis. The results revealed that there was a decrease in back pain in pregnant women after doing pelvic rocking with four-time exercises for ten minutes. From the study it can be concluded that pelvic rocking could be used as an alternative technique to relieve back pain for its practicality and low cost.
