Back ache in lower back
I keep getting a back ache once in 6months where I am not able to even pick myself up and walk. This happened once when I fell in the washroom and wasn't able to get up and my back just stiffened. Now again while I was taking a shower my back became stiff suddenly and I was not able to stand. Need a immediate relief measure

Bhujang Asana â Lie flat on your stomach, keeping the palms out, bend the neck backward, take a deep breath and while holding it for 6 seconds, raise the chest up. Release breath and relax your body. Repeat the exercise 15 times twice daily.

Hello
You should focus on stretching and strengthening of your lower legs as I feel they should be tight and that's why on and off you are getting tightness in your back.

Go for stretching of hamstring, gluteus maximum and pyriformis, that should help you

Avoid continuous standing and weight lifting
Take care of t
Your postures while working as they play very important role for back pain
