Back pain hygiene: There are a lot of advice, but the main things are: keep your back muscles strong by doing back exercises everyday, twice daily if you can, with stretching and warm ups in between. Other exercises to strengthen your core is also important (like plank and certain Yoga poses). Use your legs to lift things, not your back. And sleep on a firm(er) mattress.
