Ice hot is bad. Don't use it because it is absorbed by your skin and goes into your blood stream. Use a tube sock with uncooked white rice in it. Tie the end and heat it for 20 seconds. I either massaged my back with it or layer on it and it would help. Also another thing would be a back massager that has a low setting.
