Back pain relief

[IRJ]

I'm an expecting father and my beautiful fiance (16 weeks along) is experiencing really bad back pain almost every night. I try to give her a long massage every night. Sometimes it helps, sometimes it doesn't. We are afraid to use a product like icy hot.

Is there anything I can do to help out? She seems to be the most tense in her lower back area and butt area. Is  a natural remedy that may help?

I've been getting back pain allot it may seem silly but try a tennis ball. My mom used it on my back just roll it around and apply a little bit of pressure. It feels amazing on the back :)

My love did this amazing stretch-thing for me. Sit "indian style" on the bed and have her lay straight out in front of you with the top of her head against your stomach. Put your hands and arms under her back (mid-to lower) and have her stretch up and put her arms around your neck. Then lift up on her back.  It is amazing!
