they just need some love. a lot of the time they only betray out of neglect or abuse. the healthiest my back has ever been was when i was weight lifting.
Considering how common back problems are I think school gym classes should focus on teaching safe lifting techniques (for moving furniture, appliances, etc) and doing exercises that strengthen back muscles.
Cardio is good too of course, but I think people would see more benefit in the long run from a strong back and good lifting technique.
You’d probably have to have more stringent requirements for gym teachers if you did this though.

but nobody wants to fuck my back
Same. It only took me a few weeks of consistent lifting to make an old shoulder injury feel so much better.
