Now a-days my therapy is used to ambulate from point to point after rather involved back surgery. For years I suffered from periodic excruciating leg pain due to a bad back. Everyone told me to delay surgery, which was a big mistake considering my waiting left me with neuropathy, numbness in my feet. So yes, your singers should definitely take care of their whole body structure if they want long careers with painless movement both vocally and physically.
Happily, my voice is still working while I use the church podium for support. Christmas Eve mass went extremely well, but exhaustion in my legs was apparent after about 45 minutes of singing.
