I know it's a huge range of things under that umbrella, but reverse planks for lower back pain related to weak core muscle strength had almost as rapid an effect for me. Talking like, at most two, maybe three, sets of three to failure, just bodyweight hitting those lower back support muscles, and it was like it hit a reset button.
edit: and thanks to this thread and these reminders, I did some sets since that post and feel a million times more stable and strong. The psychological benefits mesh with the physical benefits so nicely, especially when you're also feeling like age is competing to hold you back.
