Greetings from France 🥰🌹♥️💗👍 My 4 year Newfoundland loves watching you, dunno why. Perhaps because you make me smile and giggle and she takes part in the fun and also I do the exercises along with you. Bob n Brad we LOVE YOU FOR WHO YOU ARE, two HUMBLE and ADORABLE therapists THE BEST LOVED, ON THE INTERNET. It's sad when health destroys our happiness. I've been a faithful Follower since 2014🥰♥️💗🌹💕😘💖💐🌹hugs 🤗🌹♥️
I just love the banter..makes no difference to me how you speak..I'd far rather watch your channel than any other because you ARE the most famous physical therapists on the Internet 😂❤..you deal with really important issues but always manage to find humour in things that can be tough to deal with.❤
Now I don't feel crazy! I've never been able to run/jog forward, but I could always run/jog backwards a considerable distance. I would speed walk a few blocks and then turn around and walk backwards a few. I've never understood it until now but it always seemed to work different areas of my legs.
Been doing this on a treadmill (backwards walk) at 3.7 to 4.0 speed with a slight incline. 6-7 minutes backwards out of 45 minutes. I hold the rails firmly. Been doing this for 3 years, except during gym Covid closures. Slightly helps knee pain, better for posture. Real knee improvement has come from swimming and stationary bike. Zero weight bearing issues on the knee, those last two methods of exercise.
I took your advice and went to the local HS track. After a quarter-mile of backward walking, I turned around and was a little unstable with regular walking. It lasted only a few minutes. But, for us older (70+) people, take it slow. I plan to continue this routine after my regular walk/run training. Thanks.
I walk backwards regularly, and it REALLY helps my knees. it also helps with brain function.. and yes, go easy at first, it can be a little disorienting. be especially careful in my humble opinion if you have balance issues. so try holding on to a counter, or hand on the wall at home before trying longer distances. baby boomer age, fyi
I strained my hip a year back weak muscle my instincts kept telling me to walk backwards glad that I started to do so I looked it up to see if this is even a thing yay thank you guys
I've also read somewhere that if one is walking on an uneven surface - say, at the shore on a beach - turning around and walking/running in the opposite direction on that same uneven surface (one leg/hip being lower than the other,) for the same distance gives the body a chance to sort of "even out."
I was that kid that walked backwards for fun... I have hip tendon issue on one side. I saw one of these videos (not yous) and tried and found some relief... I tied walking my dog backwards. It was amazing. I also used to spin and flay around like an airplane
40 years ago, the soccer girls (I was one) walked, ran, jumped, hopped,... backwards and *sideways*. I follow those exercises, to this day. My hips are stable, my legs are strong, (a jerk surgeon ruined a knee) decent knee strength, and my lungs are tip-top (live at 9,000')! This exercise alone changed my health for the better!
Ben typically does it with a sled. i like the idea of the dufflebag (with weight in it). i also have used a heavy resistance band and a band door anchor and walked backwards.
I actually run backwards in intervals for 1-2 minutes then running for 10min and so on. I did it to work on my hamstrings and glutes muscles and it felt better than forward running but did not know it will improve any knee pain... I do suffer from knee pain and I will keep this habit of backward walking and running. Thank you so much guys!
nice....... i saw this and thought right away that you guys got this from ATG athletic truth group ben is apart of that team. thank for sharing to your viewers and not taking all the credit. ben is the man !!!!!!!!!
When I had basketball practice as a kid, we practiced walking sideways in a circle . The coach told us that this would make us better able to sidestep players on the other team. I’ve started doing this again for balance issues.
My inner kneecap area kills and I have no idea why or what I even did to it. Haven’t been seen yet by Dr because it faded to a dull ache for a few months but the pain had flared again and putting my weight on it is SO painful.. I was thinking I need a cane or stick lol Great video.. ty guys
You could, but the load is not going to be the same on the knee and the Anterior tib muslce. Which is what it is targeting. You are trying to still load, and elliptical will not give you the same. It will give you the mobility, but not the loading or strengthening.
Bob & Brad, maybe you can demonstrate how to walk like an Egyptian , two RUclips videos: "The Bangles - Walk Like an Egyptian (Video Version)" and "King Tut - SNL"
I’m 77 and walking backwards is out of the question without an exoskeleton or two people to help. I tried walking on at treadmill but that’s pretty iffy but I started peddling backwards on my stationary bike and it seems to mitigate the pain in my back and hips for a while.so I’m doing this daily. I don’t see much of a change in the knees. Waddaya think is this a good idea?
Hi, you two gentlemen are just the best! I thought my hip pain was forever but gradually improving thanks to your exercises. And knees not great so I'm walking backwards. If you can hear a lot of creaking and clicking when you move your knee, should you continue exercising? What is it? So many thanks
I heard you mention this about 3 or so weeks ago and started walking backwards in the pool. I am 72 and go to water aerobics 8 times a week. I have added 10 minutes of backward walking every time. Have some others doing it too, Guess what? my knees feel much better. I'm trying (carefully) to walk backwards upstairs, too. Thanks for this video.
My balance is not great so I’m walking backwards down my hallway, then turning around at the end and walking backward the other direction. Feels much more secure than walking in an open area - I can reach out and steady myself on the wall if I need to.
I've done this from time to time over the years and recently started doing it again. When I lived on a steep hill I did it on that. Enjoyed that challenge.
Just a suggestion. I have a rollator that helps me walk forward and after watching this I walked around the house backward with the walker behind me and it works great. Thank you for this video, it's also helping my hip pain!
For people starting out, you can move the car out of your garage, and walk backwards slowly from one end to the other. This will save you from having to do this in front of neighbors.
This true!! Last week I hurt the mess out of my right knee!!! While rehabbing my knee walked backwards several times and it alleviated pain a great deal and allowed me to walk better forward!
I've been walking backwards for a cpl years barefoot on the treadmill, good stuff. I've also incorporated walking sideways on the treadmill for hip strengthening

I do this on dirt roads and across fields. It is AMAZING how it improves my balance and coordination. I get where I am able to navigate holes and bumps, because my mind is expecting the unexpected. That's just me, be careful and watch the terrain. We CAN be healthier and enhance with what we are born.
Major job injury. Walking backwards was a big healer. People to this day and back then think I'm nuts. Even the saif doctor. I walk that is what counts. It help balance, strengthen, repair my nerves too.
I am praying to see an Ortho to get some help with my knees and joints. I have 4 plates on my spine and also my shoulder was reconstructed. I will do ANYTHING to try to help my knees.🙏🏼 I am a beat up athlete.
Check out "knees over toes guy". He's has videos on RUclips and Instagram. He's had knee surgery and does things doctors said he'd never do. Doing it for my knee issues too.
Look up athletic truth group atg on Instagram or kneesovertoesguy on RUclips. I have been following some of the easy to do exercises and I see great results in my weak knee and more gains in my lower body. Some exercises specifically target the knees where others target more then one joint or muscle or tendons. Great stuff.
Sympathy from a beat up dancer! I've got bad pain just about everywhere, I blame the ballet from age 6. I do find B&B's advice, tips and exercises really helpful and productive and I'm working on them. It gives you hope when you feel an improvement. Tackle it with the same 'can do' spirit you had in training. Good luck!
I go down the stairs backwards. It's impossible to go down stairs forwards without having your knee go over your toe. I weigh too much which is hard on my knees, so backward is great for my knees. Please hold on to the railing!
You guys are seriously beyond cool. Also keep going with knee strengthening exercises because I've got some fancy named issue withaton of scar tissue in my knee it keeps blowing up for like 2 weeks at a time I cannot walk at all I'm only 38 and my dr doesn't seem to want to let me get surgery though he said it's an option... I can't keep not working for 2 weeks at a time and a physio therapist told me the years of swelling has noticeably atrophied my quad muscle..trying to do what I can over here to avoid this happening again i can't keep sitting around!
As a trainer when I have clients with knee issues or maybe that day they don't feel confident with their knees, we always do this as an exercise! Great way to burn fat and exercise opposing muscles n joints👍😁
Walking backwards on my lawn and walking backwards on a curved treadmill have resolved my knee pain issues. I am doing 10 minutes 3x per week. Now I run forward without knee pain. Magical exercise for knee health.
Bob and Brad You guys are AMAZING 🤩‼️ I’ve got a question - I actually tried, today, to walk backwards on my Treadmill! Do you think that’s dangerous? Thank you for all your GREAT videos 🙏🏼❣️ Keep up the good work 👍🏼😃‼️ You’re helping me with my injuries & I’m certain you help thousands & thousands of people out there all around the world 🌎‼️ Stay safe & healthy 🙏🏼❣️, Lena from Sweden 🇸🇪 😊 (I just remembered that, as a kid, I found it a lot easier to skate backwards)‼️👍🏼😄
Hi Lena from Sweden. I'm not Bob or Brad however I've been walking backwards for years on my treadmill. It's only dangerous if you lose your balance and fall. I go barefoot, helps your balance and better for your knees. Try walking sideways on your treadmill as well, for hip strengthening
From Ghana Ferdie Ato Adoboe won Guiness world record running backwards in 1983 The German Thomas Dold won the Worlds record for running backwards in 2008 In 2011 an Austrian women Surasa Mairer won worlds record in backwards running The Canadian women Kat Clewley ran a backwards race (Roadtohope Marathon in Hamilton)in 2015 4:48 Also a man Xu Zhenjun form Bejing ran backwards 3:43 in 2004
They always amaze me. Ahead of the times in China Japan and Korea from some of the shows I see and what I'm told from a friend who lives out there. Wow.
I happen to run across this video that's from a year ago and really enjoyed it. Good to see both of you guys together in this video. I started walking backwards several weeks ago and it really been enjoying doing that in my yard doing laps walking backwards and doing some forwards too. You can really feel a difference when you're walking backwards. I know what helps the front of your shins and your glutes. And really helps your balance get better. God bless you both

Can I ride my stationary bike and get the same benefits? 🤔
My Stationary Bike allows me to pedal backwards FYI.
Are you guys referring to Ben Patrick?

Thanks for the post. I'm doing the bike, I'll add swimming 😊
Try walking backwards on treadmill with it turned off. More resistance, but use knee over toe pattern.
your not getting nearly the same amount of benefits by holding the rails. Just do a lower speed with no hands on the rail.

I don’t understand how to walk backwards while being “attached” to a stationary object like a counter. I’d like to try, tho.

Same effect.
I sometimes walk backwards uphill to relieve backache i.e. not leaning forwards
nice....... i saw this and thought right away that you guys got this from ATG athletic truth group ben is apart of that team. thank for sharing to your viewers and not taking all the credit. ben is the man !!!!!!!!!
I had cold laser treatments on both knees today. I am going to get into walking backwards to hopefully avoid future knee pain.
When I had basketball practice as a kid, we practiced walking sideways in a circle . The coach told us that this would make us better able to sidestep players on the other team. I’ve started doing this again for balance issues.
"It's amazing how you remember all this" as he picks up the mouse to scroll down ...... I love these guys lmao ...... educational and comedic
Going to try this. I've been walking a lot, 5 or 6 days a week, and my knees have been hurting. Thanks!
It works!!! I did 100 miles over a summer at the beach. strengthen the patella-quad group. and the patella stays where it belongs
My wrist pain worked out after watching these guys
First time meeting you both. Thank you for your video 🙂📸!!!!

I actually hurt my right knee a year ago on a Hike, it was hurting so bad I started to walk backwards just to get back down.
Walking backwards, sounds backwards! I will try it!
🚶 - - - - - - - -▶
Great 👍👍 will do!
Maybe get a longer strap with the duffel bag
If going up a steep hill if you fall back the ground you might be closer to the ground
Thanks for the ideas
Can you use an elliptical and just reverse the stride?
Yes...and a whole lot safer. Just feels awkward in the beginning (first couple of weeks).
You could, but the load is not going to be the same on the knee and the Anterior tib muslce. Which is what it is targeting. You are trying to still load, and elliptical will not give you the same. It will give you the mobility, but not the loading or strengthening.
@@Nyotakikora1 ...good point.
@@peggyharris3815 Yeah, I am a DPT, so I loke to explain to my patients 😊
@@Nyotakikora1 what if you increase the resistance?
Bob & Brad, maybe you can demonstrate how to walk like an Egyptian , two RUclips videos: "The Bangles - Walk Like an Egyptian (Video Version)" and "King Tut - SNL"
Thank you
My cats sat up and stared at me walking backwards haha
Excellent! Liked & shared video Ty!
Get some side view mirrors!
Does this also help hips? I recently walked up a very steep hill backwards and my hip pain disappeared for several weeks.
How about cycling backwards on an exercise bike?
Hey Guys, Could you use ankle weights for this? Would there be a benefit? Great Info!
You should try not to walk with ankle weights on. It distracts the joints in tour foot and ankle. Add to thigh, or use resistance bands. I am a DPT.
@@Nyotakikora1 Thank you 😊
@@sherrij888 you are so welcome
I tried a light jog, uphill, backwards. Knee problems for months. Guess I did it wrong. @ age 68
Is leg extension machine use same knee mechanics as walking backward?
Who makes a treadmill that has the reverse option? You can thank me by letting me prototype test it.
Hi guys. Would riding an incumbant bike backward work as well?

you mean Bob? sounds like he has had a few. not saying that is actually the case, just the best way I know to describe it. I hope he's ok.
Why is it good for a person to walk backwards ?
boooyaah stick. I want a booyaah stick. You shall not pass for I have the boooyaah stick.
i diliked it.. just does not seem right/ Love the content
Sad that you have misjudged it so quickly. Misjudged being the key word.

What an idiotic comment
Thank u Brad for this information l am going to try it.🤔
Do it barefoot for maximum benefits

You can really feel a difference when you're walking backwards. I know what helps the front of your shins and your glutes. And really helps your balance get better. God bless you both
