What is a good home treatment for lower back pain?

A friend of mine that lives out of town only 1 and half hour drive anyways he’s been having lower back pain for a couple of days now tonight when i was chatting to him on msn i ask him if he had any pain killers he said no and i asked him if he has any money to buy some he said no then i asked him if he had a heating pad and he said no again and i asked him if its any better then it did 2 days ago he said a little and it started when he was sitting down and watching t.v. with his girl friend (its not me) i would like to know is there any home treatment he can do to take away his back pain?
HE HAS NO PAIN KILLS AT ALL AND NO HEATING PAD just want to know what is good HOME TREATMENT HE HAS NO MONEY TO BUY ANYTHING FOR IT.

If the pain is originated in the muscles, then stretching, doing strengthening exercises and taking anti inflammatory meds such as ibuprofen will help. If it originates in the bones, that’s a problem for doctors to handle. If it is a muscle problem then, while watching t.v. have him do some stretches on a hard surface. Sit on the bare floor and try different stretch positions to see which ones cause the most pain, and work on those problem areas. Besides that, have him get off of his butt and stop watching so much t.v. The core of the body is the most important part to maintain because his problems will only get worse in the future if he does not do some abdominal or lumbar exercises. Investing in a heat pad will do some good too, but make sure to take aspirin or ibuprofen everyday.
