I would recommend you to start with electro therapy to reduce pain followed by exercise therapy which includes back stretching and strengthening.
You should go to the clinic for treatment.
You can use L.S belt for back support while travelling.

The condition would take 4 to 6 weeks. Daily physiotherapy is not the norm abroad. However initially it would need frequent physiotherapy.
