Absoulutly and it will probably make your back feel better too. Unless you are having problems with your incision (greenish discharge etc.) and as long as the staples are gone (which should have been removed at the hospital) you are good to go. I've had 3 c-sections. Make sure you take it easy for at least the next 6 weeks. NO VACUUMING. It will tear the incision. Weird I know but its true.

I would say no. Although your wounds may be healed, it still takes time for the skin to rebuild a barrier against infection. Soaking in bath water, warm at that is exactly where bacteria love to be. I would wait at least another week or two.
