On the contrary OP is saying only strength training matters. This is horseshit. In Eastern traditions people who lack flexibility are considered weak and unhealthy no matter how strong their muscles are. If you can't bend you can't move.

No. That's not at all what the post said.
I even said stretching, manipulations, and massage have their own merits.
These are all used to change the body, but strengthening is the long term change.
Best practice is to do stretching, manipulations, massage before the strengthening.
But these are my Engineering summary, you can get treatment from a doctor of Physical Therapy that does this as a job.
