Hi, if muscle spasm is happening just in 5 min of standing that means you are having bad posture ( sway back) or hyper lordosis. Hope you didn't had any injuries at your back before and no active inflammatory disease. Please rule out these red flags before getting treated from any Physiotherapist or doing any exercises.
Next Steps
if you do not have any red flag signs then in acute phase do very simple exercises and moist heat therapy with posture correction ( mechanical low back pain). Don't go for aggressive exercises otherwise it will aggravated your symptoms
Health Tips
Please clear red flags signs ( acute injury, inflammatory causes etc.), don't bow , do not sit on floor with crossed legs ,no heavy weight lifting and if you are a bike driver then please keep bike tier properly and adequately inflated.
Home remedy:
Try taking hot packs 5 times a day. Heating at regular intervals will help reduce muscle spasm.
Try this for 3 days. If the pain is still the same, that means there are some biomechanical changes in the spine, go see a physio.
Next Steps
Physiotherapy protocol:
The physio will do your assessment and find out the cause of the pain whether it is spinal or si joint dysfunction associated pain. Ergonomics will be explained to you so that pain doesn't aggravate any further.
Primarily, the physio will focus on bringing down your pain with pain reliving modalities, spinal symmetry manipulation. Once the pain drops down to around 50%, the physio will start with your exercises along with the machines. This is done to correct the biomechanical dysfunction and prevent similar episodes in the future. This pain usually takes 10-15 sessions to go.
Take care.
