These two videos really show how to do some all around lower back exercises.

The first video covers lower back strengthening, to develop the back muscles which will help support your back and alleviate pain. You do need a fitball (one of those large oversized plastic air balls). If you don’t have a fitball, they are pretty cheap and a worthwhile investment as you can do a lot of different exercises and stretches on them.

Just a word of warning, these exercises do require some basic balance. I almost fell off the first few times I did them.

The second video goes through stretches for the lower back. As he mentions in the video, a lot of back pain is due to stifness, and stretching loosens your body up and so helps to get rid of back pain.

These exercises are pretty easy and quick so you could even fit them ni a few times a day to become a little bit more flexible and help gt rid of your back pain in teh long term.
