I went to the British School of Osteopathy to get my aching back seen to. Very reasonably priced at £25 for a two hour session. And the experienced students get much needed patients to test their knowledge on. I also highly recommend yoga. Lots of the stretches etc that where recommended by the osteopath where yoga positions I was familiar with. I found I went to a few yoga lessons and really noticed how much more flexible I was. I wouldn't recommend building up muscles in a gym environment if your back is already in pain. You need to get flexibility into your back before you build strength.
