A heating pad, hot pack, warm water bottle or ice pack placed on your back can give sore muscles relief. If you use a heating pad, set it to the lowest temperature. Wrap the pad or a warm water bottle in a towel to lower the chance of burns.
A back massage also might help. It's not proven to ease low back pain for long amounts of time, but it may help you feel better.
