I do some of the Foundation exercises as part of my wake up routine. I have the Youtube videos in mp4 format on my phone and tablet. The back extensions help strengthen my back. As others have said, you have to know whether back extensions are okay for you, what the cause of your pain is.
I learned back extensions were a great help to me about 12 years ago. After suffering several episodes of slipped discs, I read Robin McKenzie's book "7 Steps to a Pain-Free Life: How to Rapidly Relieve Back, Neck, and Shoulder Pain" and started his program. He had discovered quite by accident that back extensions helped his patients. He would have you begin with simply lying prone and gradually progress, over time, to various modified cobra positions and then a full cobra. There are other exercises but this is where you start if you are in pain.
