What do you do to help clients with sciatica?

If adequate rest, ice, and anti-inflammatory’s do not work, I’ve had great success with clients by having them foam roll the area prior to training and incorporate dynamic stretches that open the hips. We avoid running and and jumps anything that may cause impact on the hip/SI area. I always finish with static stretches for the SI but be careful not to over stretch the area and lastly stretch using runners lunge because often times the SI can tighten as a result of the iliopsoas muscle being tight.
