Measured variables included pain, functional disability, SFMA scores were examined in the pretest and posttest.

Intra-group results in pain, functional disability, and SFMA variables showed significant results after 8 weeks of treatment in both groups (P<0.001). No significant difference was seen between the two exercise interventions in improving pain (p=0.91), functional disability (p=0.77) and SFMA (p=0.53).

Adding breathing exercises to water and land exercises can improve pain, functional disability, and SFMA scores variables in pregnant women with lumbo-pelvic pain.Key Words: Pregnancy, lumbo-pelvic pain, breathing Exercise, Function
