If a body is not restrained from movement there will be two equal and opposite moving forces: the motion producing force and the inertial force opposing it.
Seems to me that if the inertial force is equal and opposite to the motive force, the body ain't going anywhere. Therefore, it would be "restrained from movement." For a body to go somewhere, the motive force has to be greater than the inertial force.
