About 5 years ago I was returning some dumb bells back to their rack, I bent down with a bent back (noob mistake) and lifted. What followed was incredible pain in my lower back, which bedded me for a few days.

It got better but not back to its old self. 5 years on my back is mostly fine, unless I stand for to long or do heavy lifting like move furniture.

If this happens i have to sleep with a rolled up towel under my back which cures it.

I have decided to fix my back for good, with exercises to strengthen the muscles, has anyone got any tips?
 
A lot more people here suggesting GP - Physio route over Chiro.

In the few Months It takes to be seen, should I rest up (I'm not fat ^^) or do some gentle exercise?
