A combination of stretching and icing is going to be the best unless he is going to change to a seat and harness setup that is going to hold him in place better. Pushing a car hard in a DE with stock seats really requires a lot of effort from the body to keep things in place and upright. Avoid using dry heat.
Stretch before the session (especially the hamstrings and quads, they can pull the pelvis out of alignment and cause low back pain when tight), and ice afterwards for 20 minutes.

I am posting for my Uncle who has a 2010 997C2S and a good bit of track experience. Last year he went with me to VIR with First Settlers Region and ended up pulling his back while on track.
To prevent this from happening this year, I'm suggesting a CG Lock, hooking him with a small carpet non-skid pad then making sure his seat is adjusted properly before he goes out the first time (looking to put his body closer to the steering wheel to increase leverage to the elbows, not the shoulders/back).
Anyone have any other non-medicinal preventive measures that could help? Note that installing a proper harness is going to be a no go.
Thanks in advance!

to find a good compromise seat is a problem if one is not ready to put in proper buckets like gt3 euro seats. recaro cs i got now is way better then old seat but still it is not nearly same as a proper bucket.
