I found a cure for my own lower back pain last year. I had dealt with back pain throughout most of my 30s, and had self-diagnosed it as a bulging disc. Every few months I would lean over while brushing my teeth, or sneeze weirdly, or bend over to tie my shoes, and my lower back muscles would spasm and I'd be laid up on the couch for a week, taking muscle relaxants. Early last year, I slowly came to realize that I had an unconscious habit of constantly holding my stomach in and tensing my abs. After unlearning this habit, my back pain is almost completely gone, and I haven't pulled a lower back muscle in about a year.
