Salabhasana (Locust Pose) is the best backbend for healing, because it strengthens the lower-back muscles while bringing circulation to the hip muscles. The best variation is to inhale; lift the chest and legs; exhale there.

SIMPLE LOCUST (SALABHASANA)
Lie on the floor, face down. Rest your chin on the floor and place your hands at your sides. Make a fist with each hand and place them firmly against the floor at approximately thigh level.
Salabhasana
This pose is named as such as it resembles the shape of the insect known as the Locust. This pose helps to strengthen, stretch and reduce stiffness in the lower back while bringing flexibility to the upper back region.
I suggest strengthening the spine first by practicing salabhasana and other less difficult back bending postures, and working on opening the chest and shoulders.

Ustrasana is a back bend that tends to awaken the lower back more than the upper back, similar to Urdhva Mukha Svanasana and Salabhasana.
The asanas taught in this study were vajrasana, suryanamaskara, pavanmuktasana, bhujangasana, salabhasana, trikonasana, hastapadasana, cakrasana, dhanurasana, viparitkarani, sarvangasana and pranayamas followed by relaxation postures.
This is the motion that opens the chest, remediates kyphosis, and accomplishes/completes upper backward bends (back extension) such as in raj kapotasana (king pigeon), full locust (salabhasana), matsyasana, urdva-dhanurasana, etc.
For example, you find a forward bending pose, paschimottanasana, salabhasana (the 'locust pose'), and bhuiangasana (the 'cobra pose'), both backward bending poses.
Finally, after 8 weeks, come half-Sirsasana (modified headstand with feet on the ground), Salabhasana (locust), Vyghrasana (cat), Dhanurasana (bow), Ardha-matsyendrasana (simple twist).
