Other: bad back paddling strategies?

I've got a couple of mildly bulging disks in my lower back. It doesn't really hurt while I'm paddling, but sitting in general makes it unhappy the following evening. Everybody is different, but I'm wondering if anyone else here has that problem and has found ways to minimize discomfort that works for them. I do use one of those elastic braces and it seems to help. Any other ideas.
