Standing desk!! Has saved my lower back, also agree with yoga to get into your hips and stretch

For a temporary relief, try to alternate with cold and heat compression. That’ll relieve some pain while you work on fixing your posture

I also suffer from back pain, mostly my lower back. Watch your posture. Mind your upper back, if you are slouching that can cause tension in your lower back. I found a combo of physical therapy and strength training made a huge difference in my lower back pain. If you are sitting a lot for work, a lumber pillow and butt pillow help too.

Try the LIGMA stretching methodology

Look into Stuart McGill, the McGill Big 3 and the offerings on backfitpro.com.

Great stuff guys, thanks!

Going to Chiropractor helped me with back pain, Chiro helped me to feel relief in the short term and gave me home physical activity regimen to avoid future back pains

New trainers- I tried the bike superep for HITT and walking and the arch support is wonderful

Yoga!!

Yoga with Adriene on YouTube has exercises for lower back pain

YOGA!!! Try hot yoga especially

Lots of great suggestions here. I got a Herman miller chair, pre-used earlier this year - those chairs are workhorses. My back thanks me.

Get it checked. Could be a herniated disk about to break.

Or a physician, as they found out that my back is injured. But def go to a orthopedic, as regular back pain should not be normal. I waited to long haha
