Here's a great way to deal with backache: stand against a wall (make sure your shoes are off) with your feet shoulder width apart and knees slightly bent. You will be able to put your hand behind your back. Now, press your back, especially your lower spine, against the wall. You will not be able to put your hand between your back and the wall if you do this correctly. Repeat several times throughout the day.
