Similar to what some others have said - I found a good therapist (in my case I was referred to a very good exercise physiologist by a physio who checked that I was basically otherwise healthy).

I learned to fix up some movement patterns. Some changes were surprisingly small - just a few degrees difference in how I held my pelvis made a huge difference. I had to learn when to "tighten" my core when moving and lifting and when it is safe to let it relax a bit. The difference has been dramatic. I had back pain even as far back as highschool basically just because of bad mechanics. I do somewhat wish I'd learnt better biomechanics sooner but I can't really complain - I've never been in less pain since my early teens.
