In the past 3 months I've only had about 2-3 nights with back pain, otherwise I've been fine. Here's what I did. First I went to an orthopedic, he prescribed physical therapy. Did that for a month but no improvement in back when I lied down. Then I had an MRI, and it showed nothing. Did more physical therapy, and no change. Then I basically just slowed down my physical therapy exercises, only doing them about once or twice a week. About 4 months ago I decided to dedicate myself to doing religiously, I've been sleeping great since. I do exercises for about 20 minutes before bed every night. The key is: Do the exercises EVERY night. Also, it may take a month or two before you see the improvements, so stick with it. The exercises I do are: lie on back and bring my knees to my chest, Cobra Pose, Cat Pose, Child's Pose (with hands in front of me), and a stretch where I lie on my back, feet on floor knees bent, then drops knees to right side of body and arms to left side and vice versa.
