Agreed on sitting and needing to walk/stretch especially for those of us on computers. I will add that I had both a bike fit (through PT) and PT for my lower back and it definitely helped.
However the difference between a 100mm 0deg stem and 100mm -7deg stem (same number of spacers) on my road bike is a noticeable sore lower back for me.
