Hey I'm a 24yr developer as well and I used to have really terrible lower back pain from sitting too long. My worst was when I would feel this extremely sharp pain in my lower back when I thrust my hip in a certain way. The pain is so quick and intense it would paralyze me for a split second. I never went to the doctor to check it out, and fortunately now (6 months later) that pain is pretty much all gone. I got rid of it pretty much by stretching:
1. Simply sit up straight, it stretches your lower back the right way.
2. Get into pushup position and while keeping your body straight, try to reach forward as much as possible.
3. Lay on the floor belly down, lift your legs and chest off the ground, bind your hands behind your back and reach them as far back as possible. I found this great for temporarily relieving pain.
4. Do pullups: or if you can't do one, get on a bar and let your legs dangle and feel your back stretching out. This one feels so good.
Good luck!
- yati 12y agoThanks for the tips mate. Everyday when I hit the gym, I hang on to the pullup bar. Feels like heaven. Also, when I do back exercises like seated rows and pulldowns, the pain vanishes for a fair amount of time. I'll try your tips.
