The idea of using self awareness to avoid back pain seems as good as anything out there. This book does provide a few pages of simple starter techniques, but mostly encourages people to seek out an Alexander technique teacher.

A good text on the background and benefits of the alexander technique. It does state you need a practitioner. It is a good book to read prior to seeing a practitioner, good help the process. There is a good pose for resting the back.
