"We are each an experiment of one. A unique, never-to-be repeated event.” So true and like all things, personal requirements are as one deems necessary. I've rarely ever stretched and have never suffered dire consequences for not doing so.

(The clue? I can feel my knees grinding.)
DANG, are you grinding a pound or two of beans at once???
Neither my VEVOK or JAVA PRESS requires anywhere near those rotations for a MOCHA, Espresso, French Press, Drip, Perk or Pour Over.

Whatever the "science" says at the moment, I believe in yoga and regular stretching. Have practiced for decades. Probably just a placebo effect. YMMV.
Go to sleep and things might be different when you wake up. What ever floats your boat is the name of the game. Sounds like your plan is working so keep on - keeping on.
