Core Exercises: Typically core strengthening exercises are the best to help relieve pressure and forces in the spine. I would try and google some or look them up on youtube to see descriptions. If you can do them yourself, wonderful otherwise ask your doctor to get a referral to a good physical therapist for further assistance.

Discopathy: There are many kinds of "massages". A light massage should not be a problem. "Stretching" ala yoga poses could be contraindicated.
