Here are a few yoga guidelines for computer users:

It is best to sleep on a firm bed, with a flat pillow under your head and a one under your knees. This will help the spine to reposition and adjust itself.

Do not wear high heels as this throws the spine out of balance.

Do not go in for strenuous aerobics, jogging, running until your back is stronger
 
For lower back pain, sitting is the most painful. Sit on a firm seat and sit on your buttock bones. Do not loll back on the  lower spine. Wedge a rolled towel  behind your back to keep you straight.

On of the best postures is to sit on a chair and roll forward to touch the floor with your hands. This stretches the lower back in a easy and safe way. Try this yoga computer user posture a few times a day.

When the pain is acute and you can neither sit nor stand in comfort, rest in bed  and wait until the pain is milder before starting any postures.

All  asanas have healing properties. They will act  gently stretching the spinal muscles in easy extension postures. Strength will be gradually built up in the muscles and buttocks, abdominal organs will be toned and strengthened, and pressure points all along the spine will be stimulated.
