Stretching
Regularly stretching can help to keep your muscles feeling looser even when you are not actively stretching. Another benefit of stretching is that it tends to improve posture and core strength. This helps you to hold yourself upright better, so excessive pressure is not placed on the nerve.
You can do simple stretches like bending down to touch your toes, but it may also be helpful to look up specialized stretches for those with sciatica. Many people find that yoga can be an excellent way to stretch while improving posture.
