It's still pseudoscience. Some remedial massage and stretching and exercise techniques they do may happen to help, but the rigorous scientific medical disciplines for that kind of thing comes under physiotherapy, orthopedics, etc.

An astrologist could tell me the passage of Jupiter indicates I should maintain a healthy weight and exercise, and while they don't really believe in the kooky theories I should still take the advice. It is good advice and it would help my health if I follow it, and it might work for me and I might be happy. That doesn't mean astrology is a legitimate practice or that I should recommend other people seek out astrologers for their health issues.
