> According to my physiotherapist, cycling (really any movement) is great but does not necessarily help with back problems and in some cases even make it worse (probably depends on bike, saddle, position etc.).

If you stay in one position on the bike, and bike for a long time (hour+), it's probably worse for your back. But if you switch positions, you can find some nice stretches sometimes. Depending on the terrain, you might have to specifically remember to stretch your back while you're on the bike.

As a hobby road cyclist I can recommend doing some core / stability training in addition to cycling. And of course, make sure that your bike and its geometry (saddle and stem height, stack and reach) generally fit you. Biking should not hurt - unless it's due to the high effort you put in.
