A Kegel exercises increase the tone of the pelvic area, not the back.
B Pelvic rock exercises may help stretch and strengthen the abdominal and lower back muscles and relieve low back pain.
C A softer mattress may not provide the support needed to maintain proper align-ment of the spine and may contribute to back pain.
D Stretching and other exercises to relieve back pain should be performed several times a day.
