I think some of the sciatic impingement issues I mentioned were lower.

You're discussing spinal issues.

I'd still look at a good seat, and perhaps a suspension seatpost to reduce impact.

Core Strength? Stretching?

I find that belts cause me pain. So, I stopped wearing them decades ago. But, perhaps also make sure that one has loose cycling clothes. That is the benefit of "bibs" is that they don't need an elastic waistband.

I'd also look at her sleeping. Find a way to sleep that opens up the bad disc, rather than closing it. Other posture changes?
