Movement, whether it is a daily walk, water exercise or therapy, yoga, pilates or isometrics, is crucial. Water exercise, short walks and PT for stretches (I like a manual PT) are the best places to start. I do piriformis syndrome stretches for lower back pain/hip and tight hamstrings. If I go to the gym, I work on the eliptical machine, a little at a time. Treadmill is a "no."
