This is reasonable - getting up often and walking or stretching is good for you. However I wouldn't rely on chiropractors for medical advice.

- tagawa 3y agoThanks for the tip. I think I used the wrong term in the post (now updated). I live in Japan and go to a 接骨院 which I assumed was chiropractor, but osteopath is probably a better translation. I should have researched before posting.
