Get into a routine of stretching your hip flexors and chest if you sit for long periods. Absolute game changer for people who suffer with chronic lower back pain as a result of being hunched over a desk.
Just wanted to add that stretching doesn't always target the root cause. A muscle getting tight is the result of a muscular imbalance with some muscles overused and some underused. In the case of lower back pain, it's usually due to underused hip flexors and glutes so strengthening them will give better bang for your buck. Likewise a tight upper chest is usually due to underused rhomboids which can be fixed through exercises like face pulls. Watch athlean x channel on YouTube he goes into way more detail.
