After an off yesterday i have a bout of sciatica, given that for mild back pain/spasm it's best to keep it moving is a gentle pootle ok, probably won't be venturing off road just country lanes

prolonged periods in the saddle can aggravate sciatica further if you're not careful. Riding can be like a pronounced slouch posture unless you're pretty upright in the saddle, so maybe a leisurely ride might help as it is movement/exercise but stopping and stretching your back/hips every say 30mins if possible might be a good idea
