How do parents cope with back strain?

I'm parenting young kids in Quebec mostly on my own, and I've been dealing with ongoing backpain that makes the day-to-day activities a bit harder than expected. Nothing extreme but the constant lifting, bending, and being on my feet all day definitely adds up especially with things like carrying tired kids, cleanup after means and bedtime routines. By the end of the day I usually feel it in my lower back, and it takes a while to fully loosen up again the next morning.

I'm just trying to understand how other parents manage this kind of physical strain long-term while still keeping up with everything at home. What has actually helped you deal with this kind of situation?
