If sciatica or hip flexor pain puts a hard stop on your workout plans, try this 3-move stretching routine. These stretches for sciatica also ease tight hip flexors and are my go-to for sore muscles and limited range of motion. 

Sciatic nerve pain can cause a dull aching or pinching sensation in your lower back, hips, bum and down the legs, and around 40% of the population suffer from it in their lifetime. Tight hip flexors are more common, often caused by sedentary lifestyles and prolonged sitting. In many cases, lower back pain results from tight hamstrings, glutes or hip flexor muscles.
