Mistake #1: Trying to fight back pain by strengthening your back muscles.
This is very common. People think this all the time. However the vast majority of people don't have back problems caused by a weak lower back but rather they are a result of a weak core! When your core is weak your lower back has to strain and work extra hard so the last thing you need to do is work it even more.
If you want to avoid pain in your back, hips and knees the secret is in your core.
Mistake #2: Resting your back.
In the health and fitness community we've know for a long time that prolonged rest only makes your back more stiff and your muscles weaker.
I remember when my dad blew out his back, he quit everything from tennis to walking. I told him that he needed to start moving or it wasn't going to get any better.
I'm not saying he needed to do anything intense, but he needed to start moving gently in order to bounce back much faster.
Forget about strenuous workouts after you strain your back, but you need to start trying a few surprising stretches.
I know this sounds radical but if you back hurts I urge you to......
Try this 1 unlikely stretch that has been shown to wipe out sciatica and lower back pain

The Gray Whale is the 10th largest instinctive breathing today, and the 9 creatures larger than it are every whales, too. Gray Whales are known for their epic migration routes, sometimes covering more than 16,000 km (10,000 miles) on their two-way trips in the midst of their feeding grounds and their breeding grounds. Researchers don't have a unmodified arrangement of how whales navigate these good distances, but some evidence suggests that Earth's appeal has something to reach next it. There's evidence that many substitute creatures use the Earth's appeal to navigate. That aptitude is called magnetoreception, and it allows organisms to wisdom magnetic fields, and to derive their direction, altitude, and location from those fields. Scientists say there are two hypotheses to explain magnetoreception. The magnetic pitch and electric currents in and nearly Earth generate technical forces that have immeasurable impact on every day life. Credit: ESA/ATG medialab The first are cryptochromes, a type of protein that's painful to blue light. They're keen in changeable circadian rhythms, and may as a consequence put up to instinctive wisdom magnetic fields. There's some evidence that cryptochromes in bird's eyes put up to them orient themselves magnetically next migrating. The second hypothesis involves clusters of iron, which is strongly magnetic, and common in the Earth's crust. Scientists know that substitute species of migratory plants have clusters of iron in their beaks. even if the correct do something of those clusters is not understood, some researchers say that there's "overwhelming behavioral evidence" that substitute species use magnetoreception to "extract useful opinion from the geomagnetic field." Gray whales use navigation to travel long distances, and it's likely that they rely, at least partially, on magnetoreception to reach so. A additional psychoanalysis suggests that solar storms, and their effect on Earth, can disrupt their navigation. According to that study, these storms could outcome in whales beaching themselves. Jesse Granger, a Duke the academy graduate student in biophysics, led the study. The paper is titled "Gray Whales Strand More Often on Days next Increased Levels of Atmospheric Radio-Frequency Noise." It's published in the journal Current Biology, and includes co-authors Lucianne Walkowicz, Robert Fitak, and Sonke Johnsen. Granger points out in her paper that there may be merged reasons for whales beaching themselves. Sonar could disrupt their navigational sense, toxins in the water could do something a role, and some researchers have even wondered if additional whales seashore themselves next one of their pod is ashore on shore and in distress. But Granger looked at whale beaching data going put up to 31 years to see for a associate in the midst of whale beachings and solar storms. Granger looked at archives of sunspot activity, too. Sunspots have a strong correlation next solar storms. Solar storms, as most Universe Today readers will know, are disruptions on the Sun that can send large amounts of material out into space, sometimes striking Earth. They can impact the the Earth's magnetosphere, temporarily changing its have an effect on and characteristics. They as a consequence cause a lot of radio frequency interference. Granger wanted to know if there was a correlation in the midst of sunspots and the solar storms they can cause, and known whale beachings. Sunspots are dark areas on the surface of the Sun that are cooler than the surrounding areas. They form where magnetic fields are particularly strong, and are the source of solar storms and coronal deposit ejections. Image: NASA/SDO/AIA/HMI/Goddard vent Flight Center There's research showing a correlation in the midst of sunspots and ashore Sperm Whales, but Granger wanted to dig deeper in her research. She looked at Gray whales because their migration routes are long, and they tend to follow coastlines, rather than furious open oceans. Their proximity to shorelines means that any navigational errors could lead them to seashore themselves. Granger took NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) archives of Gray whale beachings going put up to 31 years, from 1985 to 2016, and removed any where the whales were straightforwardly sick or injured. She as a consequence removed whales that were malnourished, or entangled in nets. That left her next 186 instances of healthy Gray whales beaching themselves. As the paper says, "While the multi-factorial plants of strandings adds variation to this data set, we hypothesize that isolating healthier whales is a more efficient method to psychoanalysis navigational effects." She compared those 186 beachings next archives of solar activity, and filtered out additional potential factors including seasons, food abundance, and ocean conditions. She found that Gray whales were 4.3 times more likely to seashore themselves next a solar outburst was striking Earth. Granger doesn't think it's the magnetic fight itself that causes the whales to strand themselves, even even if the storms can distort the Earth's magnetic field. Solar storms as a consequence cause an deposit in broadband RF noise. She thinks the beachings could be because of every that RF interference. According to her, every that interference might overwhelm a whale's navigation sense. So rather than the solar storm warping the magnetic pitch and feeding the whales wrong information, the RF interference might be overwhelming or scrambling their deed to gather magnetic filed information. This is akin to the habit powerful solar storms can overwhelm our own communication systems next satellites. Unfortunately this psychoanalysis doesn't put up to us respond how whales use magnetoreception to navigate, even even if it does enlarge on the skirmish of whale magnetoreception. But it may not be the only method they use to navigate. "A correlation next solar radio noise is truly interesting, because we know that radio noise can disrupt an animal's deed to use magnetic information," Granger said in a press release. "We're not infuriating to say this is the only cause of strandings," Granger said. "It's just one practicable cause." The conclusion of the paper itself outlines the results clearly. "There is a archives of research on correlations in the midst of solar argument and migratory tricks [9,10]; however, our psychoanalysis is the first to examine potential mechanisms mediating this correlation by examining geophysical parameters that are affected by solar storms. Specifically, we found that this association was best explained by increases in RF noise rather than alterations to the magnetic field." Even even if this research shows that it might be RF noise rather than magnetic fields that cause whales to seashore themselves, it's nevertheless more evidence that Gray whales use magnetoreception to navigate. "These results are consistent next the hypothesis of magnetoreception in this species, and tentatively recommend that the mechanism for the association in the midst of solar argument and breathing strandings is a disruption of the magnetoreception sense, rather than distortion of the geomagnetic pitch itself," the paper says. However, Granger is as a consequence careful to fix next the characteristic scold central to science. "This research is not unmodified evidence for magnetoreception in this species, and additional research is nevertheless critical to determine the mechanism for the deposit in strandings under high RF-noise," she says in the conclusion. Whale beachings, next many things in nature, may have merged causes, and there may be merged ways in which appeal plays a role. Research from 1986 shows that whale beachings occur more frequently close coastal areas next magnetic minima, which as a consequence strengthens the skirmish for whale magnetoreception. That psychoanalysis showed that some whales may follow lines of magnetic minima and avoid magnetic gradients. Whatever the details perspective out to be, this research shows the inextricable associate in the midst of the Sun and excitement on Earth, and how that associate may be more deeply embedded than some of us thought.
