I just stumbled across this (linked from elatemedia tips to profoot pages to this) and it looks very interesting. Could be twaddle but seems to make good sense... I imagine it's bloomin' expensive but for those with similar issues, perhaps an avenue to explore ;
This is similar but it also stretches the quadriceps. I do it by stretching the groin area, and then simultaneously twisting the upper body to the opposing side. (i.e. left leg forward, then twist body to the left)
This is closer to what I do, but I do it less dynamically and hold it for 20 seconds.
The nerve tension I deal with by using a mechanical shiatsu massager pillow which I primarily use on the back of my neck. (this tends to be where I get most tension and it relieves all the muscles down my back)
I also stick a couple of tennis balls in a sock, and lean against a wall with the balls either side of the spine. Then go up and down the wall, like you are trying to scratch your back. The balls press on the muscles either side of your spine and release any tension there.
Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Bigtipper, oh you've disappointed me, is that all you could come up with after a weekend of googling
Might even post laters what I got up to yesterday but off to my physio and the gym now
