Driving Back Exercises for Sciatica
Note: Always Keep your eyes on the road.
Exercise #1
Firstly, don’t fall into the “driver’s slump” (or “PC slump” if you’re at your desk). Sit up straight and try to “grow an inch” by bringing your shoulders back and llifting your head so that your upper spine is erect and in more of a straight line.
Stay in this position for 30 seconds while taking fuil slow breaths in and out.
Next, roll your shoulders forward 3 times and then backwards 3 times while holding the steering wheel. Gently pull your shoulder blades down and back toward your tailbone. This movement helps to exercise your middle back muscles and also helps to loosen shoulder muscles, which tighten with stress.
Exercise #2
Tighten your abdominal muscles to scoop up your belly and pull in your waistline so that your navel moves towards your spine and takes the stress off the lower, lumbar spine.
Exercise #3
The “buttock clench”. Imagine that you have a winning lottery ticket and grasp it and hold it tightly between your cheeks while counting to 10.
Doing this exercise helps counter the numbness in the large gluteal muscles in your posterior that occurs from prolonged sitting, whether in the car or at your desk. She also advises men to remove their wallets from their back pants pockets since sitting on them can add to the numbness and increase the risk of painful sciatica.
Exercise #4
Grip the wheel. Clench as tightly as possible, then release. At the same time, try to relax your shoulders and sit up straight. Repeat 30 times in about a minute.

(Not as much as sitting hunched over a notebook PC, which has to be the absolute worst for my neck/shoulders and lower back, but that's another story!) That's one of the reasons I ride a hybrid bike, rather than a traditional road bike with drop handlebars. The other reasons are IMHO hybrids are more fun and great for just hopping on and going to the beach or the shops. Buy a decent hybrid

Treating Lower Back and Hip Pain
Precise diagnosis of the causes of lower back and hip pain is notoriously difficult because your spine is a large and complex organ that is full of joints, nerves and ligaments and is heavily interconnected with the surrounding muscles that support it.
