That was the most in-depth diagram I found. But I use this website for morning stretches or for when I feel tight. They explain it fairly well and if you need a bit more I usually Google the stretch name.
Yoga or any strength training that includes your back should probably be enough.
Moves your whole body and also strengthens the muscles that support your back
Seconding this. I started doing 10-15 mins of yoga when I get up and around 30 mins when I get home from work a few weeks ago and I haven’t had back pain since.
Tai Chi does the same … at the very least the movements are so gradual and easy depending on your level (I’m very basic) … it at least gets you up moving and stretching.
Lots of back pain is caused by underworked muscles that develop inconsistencies in strength and begin getting sore trying to keep up at the littlest things.
Strengthening your mid and lower traps is wildly important. Then the spinal erectors. Finally, the obliques. I’d mention abs, but like, duh.
Any recommendations for stretching your back? I got a pain that won’t quit and posture is only part of the issue.
This stretch is great for my back pain.

Do you have more infographics like this one because it’s shockingly helpful?

As someone else suggested yoga is great for learning what stretches help you the best. I like Yoga with Adrienne as it’s simple as has a lot of beginner routines. Here’s an intro series I like: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLui6Eyny-UzzWwB4h9y7jAzLbeuCUczAl
