A pair of stretch cords can be helpful. Hook them up to a fence or deck post while outside or a door knob (if indoors). You can slowly lean into them while trying to touch your toes. It's a great way to stretch the lower back.
A good thorough warm up can help. I need at least 1,000 yards before I'm ready to push. Double arm backstroke is my favorite drill for loosening up shoulder and back muscles.
