what it claims

Back pain should not be accepted as an inevitability or a "normal" state about which nothing can be done: active solutions exist, particularly through movement, to prevent and relieve it.

holds up

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), back pain is a discomfort that affects nearly 80% of adults during their lifetime (global observational data).

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), back pain is a discomfort that affects nearly 80% of adults during their lifetime (global observational data). Nevertheless, reference institutions like the Haute Autorité de Santé (HAS) insist that one should not accept this discomfort as an inevitability or lock oneself into rest (expert opinion and clinical consensus). A major review by the Cochrane Collaboration (meta-analysis of controlled clinical trials) furthermore demonstrates that prolonged physical inactivity weakens supporting muscles and exacerbates tension over time. Conversely, the Assurance Maladie guides reiterate that regular movement is the most effective solution for maintaining one's body on a daily basis. Practicing gentle activities such as walking, stretching, or progressive muscle strengthening helps restore confidence and flexibility to the back (recommendation based on multiple clinical trials). The creator's message is therefore scientifically impeccable: although common, back pain is not a norm to be passively endured, and staying in motion is the best key to overcoming it.

What the graded evidence says

Evidence
A-
Effect
prevalence of spine findings on imaging in pain-free people; guideline stance on imaging and activity — disc degeneration in asymptomatic people rises from 37% at age 20 to 96% at age 80; disc bulge 30% to 84%; guidelines recommend against routine imaging and favor staying active
Measured on
asymptomatic adults (imaging review); adults with non-specific low back pain (guidelines)

What’s uncertain

This applies to common non-specific back pain, not to injuries with red-flag symptoms (significant trauma, progressive weakness, numbness, fever, or bladder/bowel changes), which do warrant prompt medical assessment and possibly imaging.
