what are the best tips for back pain due to long hours of computer use?

Back pain from long hours on the computer is caused mostly by your hip flexors which have shortened over the many hours of sitting and not stretching.

Short hip flexors pull on your low back and can result in torquing your pelvis and hips out of alignment.

Try to get up at least every two hours and walk around.

Do some stretches to lengthen your hip flexors.

One pose you can do is called the Cobra or Upward Dog if you are familiar with Yoga. Lie on your stomach and gently raise push your upper body off the floor as far as you can without straining.

If you do have back pain, then I recommend finding a Chiropractor who also practices Kinesiology. You really need a health care practicioner who can apply both of these healing arts to figure out where you are out of alignment and to get you realigned to be rid of your back pain.

By the way, the hip flexors are on the front side of your body and run from your abdomen to the top of your thigh.

You should also time yourself and see how long you can sit before you experience back pain. Then, get up before you experience pain and do some stretches.
