Back problems?

Coming to the end of the CX season and my back is one factor that limits my performance, So, thinking of the off season, the summer, one of my goal for imporvement is to improve my 'core stability' hopefully leading to less lower back problems. What do other riders who have CX as their main focus do in the summer to aid this. I was thinking of 3 x GYM classes a week with circuit training, kettle bells, and maybe an 'easier' yoga activity or two. I have tried pilates but found it made my back worse.
Any other things worth a go?

So it's not 'fine' then....?
As Monty says, definitely worth talking to someone knowledgeable as they can help tailor a program. Now that I'm on top of mine a relatively simple 15 minute stretch routine 2-3 times a week plus a 30-40 minute core session once a week keeps it all in check. The key for me was to really stick at it initially to get over the worst problems. The maintenance of good condition is actually less effort than the remedial period.
The woman who helped me is called Jo McRae http://jomcrae.co.uk/ She's excellent.
