B. Heat therapy may provide relief for muscle-related back pain but should not be applied for prolonged periods as it may cause tissue damage.
C. Minimizing environmental stimuli can help the client focus on relaxation techniques and alleviate pain perception but is not as effective as deep breathing.
D. Ice therapy is typically used for acute pain or inflammation and may not be appropriate for mild, ongoing back pain.
