I always struggle when I'm in the office all day, I get sciatica and sore hips. Moving about definitely helps.

Bowlander - do you get sciatica starting in your Bum? where your wallet would sit? If it is ( could be many things ) I had that for years and quite easily sorted it out over night with a small hard rubber ball. Put the ball on the ground , now sit with your cheek onto the ball , so the ball is between the floor and yourself , now roll around - the small deep massage motions should release any muscular knotting and help any trigger points.

Seriously fixed it almost over night.

Stretching for the hip flexors is important as by sitting we are basically shortening the muscles over time.

Aye, that's exactly where it is. I use my clenched fist to massage the painful area, it's weird, but I can 'feel' the nerve and switch off the pain. I need to be careful stretching as I tend to over do it.

Seriously please try the rubber ball , only so much pressure you can apply with your fist , a ball and bodyweight should release and awful lot more , as you seem to have become a bit of a runner as well ( I was for many many years ) I think that can create the situation. So use the massage ball to catch it early.
