I wish someone would have told me when I was 20 that my lower back issues could be entirely avoided with some simple stretching and core strength exercises. I do three of each and it has almost completely solved my back pain:

  1. hamstring stretch, quad stretch, hip flexor stretch (do stretches every day)
  2. front plank, side plank, bridges or similar

As my back pain receeded I also began strength training which I think is also important.
