Fold a bath towel in half lengthwise. Roll it up tightly. Lay on back on
floor (on carpet or a rug better than hardwood) and place towel roll under
your back, as low on your spine as you can stand it, particularly for lower
back issues. Lay on the towel and relax all of your muscles. Begin with a
few minutes and build up to 10 minutes. Roll to your side to get off the
towel. This opens up the space between your lower vertebrae and does wonders.

Yes. I used to use that same method to get my cervical vertebrae back into alignment--when I was getting myself off the thrice-a-week chiropractor treatments--due to back and neck damage. My method uses a wrapped wine bottle.

I also have a turned wood thingie that has high and low areas so it fits alongside the spine and pushes against those muscles. One puts in under the back and moves from time to time to reposition the device. It is as deep massage. Hurts like hell until you get used to it.
