My lower back has been absolutely killing me today. Does anyone know of any remedies I could try to address it? I'm trying an ice pack and fixing my sitting posture right now, will be sleeping on my side to relieve pressure on it tonight, but is there anything else I could attempt?

It really depends what your back pain is from. If you've thrown out your back you might need physical therapy or an adjustment before it starts feeling better. Ice definitely helps if it's muscular. I've been on the mend myself this last week from lifting something poorly. https://youtu.be/K8SD47gLB-I here's the yoga video I always go back to when I do this to myself, usually about once a year.
