all right so i know some of you are going  to laugh when i tell you this technique  

but hear me out walking backwards  can help your not just knee pain  

but your back pain in a big way now there’s  other terms for this called retro walking and  

there’s some other terms but the point is this  when you’re walking you are developing certain  

muscles especially the psoas muscle which is in  the in the abdomen area the quads some of the  

shoulder muscles usually you’re leaning forward  like this when you’re walking and so it kind of  

throws your body out of balance if you do a lot  of walking or running when you do reverse walking  

you strengthen your glutes your hamstrings  which is in the back part of the legs  

the front part of the lower leg which is called  the anterior tibialis some of the core muscles  

and you’re also activating different parts of your  brain and neurology so there’s a lot of benefits  

of walking backwards you’re going to notice  that your knee pain especially if it’s on the  

front part of your knee is going to diminish and  your back is going to feel better because you’re  

strengthening the glutes and the hamstrings so  it kind of throws the body back into a balance  

you may also notice that your posture is better  and even your coordination is better but here’s  

the thing okay before you do this check with your  doctor because the last thing i want to do is  

have someone start running backwards and trip  and then blame it on me so i am not going to  

be responsible for that you want to go really  slow at first walk on a flat surface do it in a  

place that there’s no big rocks that you can trip  over or anything you can trip over maybe you want  

to start on a treadmill so you can actually  hold yourself and go slow and work up to this  

you’re going to feel like you just had a workout  just from a small distance it’s quite interesting  

but you’re going to definitely feel better on  your knee and your back and you’re going to  

be standing more erect and of course if you’re  out doing this in public don’t mention my name
