 Back Pain - teabelly
Sounds like poor desktop/car ergonomics or stress related to me. I used to get pain like that. Stretching is a good thing for it as is massage. If you can persuade someone to massage your shoulders and dig their thumbs inbetween your shoulder blades and spine it will ease. It does hurt when they do it but in a good way (sounds pervy but isn't!)

Making sure you steer correcty helps reduce backpain as pulling the wheel is less effort than pushing it round. Also make sure your seat is adjusted so that you can get at the wheel and sit comfortably in the seat.

The Anatomy of Stretching that's on amazon is a brilliant book and has loads of stretches for different muscle groups. Also great if you aren't a fan of swimming (I'm certainly not!)
