Tools of data collection: Two tools were used for data collection: Tool I: Structured Interview Schedule to assess the general characteristics, obstetric history of pregnant women and characteristics of lumbopelvic pain. Tool II: Numeric Rating Scale to assess the intensity of lumbopelvic pain pre and post intervention. Results: The findings of the present study illustrated that, there were highly statistically significant differences between the intensity of lumbopelvic pain Pre and post intervention (P< 0.001). Conclusion: The study hypothesis was accepted which indicated that practicing sitting pelvic tilt exercise during pregnancy had a positive effect on reducing the intensity of lumbopelvic pain. Recommendations: The present study findings recommended that, the pelvic tilt exercise should be performed regularlyas a part of the routine antenatal care.
