Pull as hard as you possibly can in both directions but let the legs barely win so that it takes 20 seconds or so to get the legs far enough away from the hands that you can no longer hold the backs of your knees.

Repeat once or twice.

Now get up. Your back should be some where around 25% to 40% better than it was.

Keep doing this exercise several times throughout the day.
Yep have done this one. You can also lay flat on your back. dig your fingers into your body just at the top inside of the hip bone. There is a muscle right there that wraps around to the back and will loosen up a lot with some pressure in there.

I do not use heat. Ice reduces the swelling and lets the area loosen up. Same with the ibuprofen.
