Movement is one of the best ways to treat back pain. Follow this exercise program to help you manage your pain, speed healing, and prevent future flare-ups.
Rest your back for a day or two to begin healing. Use a firm mattress or the floor. Have your lower back firmly supported with a small pillow or towel. Keep your knees slightly bent, with another pillow under them. Every few hours, get up and walk as much as you can.
