My yoga teacher taught me this one:
Take 2 old tennis balls and duct tape them together so they make a kind of figure-8-shape (put a rubber band around the duct tape between the two balls). Put on some nice relaxing music, turn down the lights, lay on your back on a yoga mat (or just on the floor) and put the balls under your neck so they're centered on your spine, putting a little bit of pressure on either side of the spine. When you've lain there for 3 breaths or so, roll up on the balls till they're a few inches further down your spine and rest there for a few breaths. Keep rolling on the balls and resting on them a few minutes at a time on each new spot till you've basically massaged all the muscles up and down your spine. It feels really good - better than the chiropractor, IMHO.
