Long term leather seat care question.

I've been meaning to ask you guys this. This is really the first car i have been trying to maintain leather seats on. Ive notice older cars leather turns hard and cracks, I've been putting conditioner on mine but i was wonder if i should be "massaging" the leather to keep it flexible not just clean, condition, walk away?
I have a habit of thinking of the science of things and that's what made me think that the leather could become hard from just never moving on top of sun and heat damage. So if i were to condition plus try and massage the parts that never really flex or move, maybe they will stay nice longer?.

Keep in mind, today's "leather" seats are vastly different than leather seats of years ago. Today's leather is highly coated, and usually the seat surface is the only actual leather - the sides and back are often synthetic. Whatever you're doing is probably good enough to make today's leather last a good long while.
