Hi,
Not attitude but Wrong posture does affect back ache. your trip to montain must have corrected your posture +sufficient exercise which has benifited you! If the same is cotinued at home too, you may get rid of it .
thanks

welcome to health care magic, there is no relation in high altitude and back pain relief.
pain became better because there was no daily routine workload on your spine.
Leisure activities and trips etc do play role in uplifting mood and decreasing pain.
