You need to undergo thorough back evaluation and need to check underline issue for that consult good physiotherapist and meanwhile start to correct your posture and avoid sitting continuously. Start doing basic stretching exercises but this isn't permanent solution you have to follow exercises under physiotherapist guidelines.
Next Steps
once your pain gets better you also need to do strengthening exercises and need to learn self management of back pain for controlling future backpain episodes.

Yes posture seems to be the problem.
If there is burning type pain use ice, wrapped in towel for 15 minutes...
If stiff heat works fine. Again 15minutes...
Sitting: Bottom back into chair. Break every 40 minutes.
Next Steps
have a physiotherapy appointment and start some stretches and range based exercises.
- cobra stretch for 10 sec 10 reps usually works reasonably as it is in the opposite side of sitting posture.
A full assessment would fascilitate a physiotherapist to provide you with an exercise program
Health Tips
avoid standing massage as sometimes some areas could be injured due to excess pressure
