Take paracetamol and don't sit/stand/lay down for too long at a time, and wait until they are available. You can hurt yourself, if you don't know what you are doing. Anything more vigourous than paying down on your bag, and stretching your hands behind your head as far as you can has potential to flare something up if your back is on the wobble already. |

Generally a physio is going to give you exercises to strengthen yourself or alleviate pain, but they aren't going to manipulate you or 'crack' you, for that, a Chiropractor is best if you just want to here some nasty sounds that make it seem like you got your moneys worth, or better still, an Osteopath if you want a mix between the two. |

This!!! 
You could easily make a bad back worse by targeting the wrong exercises |

The floor is your friend! Lay flat on your back and try and lift your legs onto a chair. Get you back as flat as possible and try and sleep on the floor or hard surface until it eases. |

I've had loads of physio, acupuncture, every pain killer known to man and eventually a titanium implant in my spine. I still wouldn't advise you on exercises to relieve your particular problem. One small reason being despite what you will be told physio is not always a remedy. |

Just what I was going to say, you don’t want to knacker your back forever |

As someone who's had 2 spine surgeries I'd reiterate what others have said.
Wait to see your physio and they'll give you stretches and exercises for your specific problem.
I have a 20 minute routine the physio gave after my 2nd surgery that I'm still doing 6 months on.
Chiropractors I'd avoid, it not a proven science and quite often you'll get locked in to treatments and before you know it have spent 600 quid, with no improvement (I've been to 4 different chiropractors over a 7 years period.)
If you get to a stage where you are in severe ongoing pain, push for an mri scan. You'll be able to see what's really going on then with regards the structure of your back. If you reach this point without an mri, every diagnosis is essentially just guess work. |

Agreed. Unless you know with absolute certainty that your problem is muscular don't meddle |
