"Some of our astute followers have noticed me slurring my words. I am not drunk but working with Brad it would be justifiable. I had 6 infected cysts removed from my mouth (noncancerous) and I have residual scar tissue and numbness. I will try to do better. Thanks Bob."
Thanks for sharing. I was thinking that it was the microphone or just age peeking through. It mades you both even more adorable. IMHO 👍
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 🤗🌹♥️
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?
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.❤
These guys are the dads I never had.
I am currently in P.T. for my knees. Walking backward has helped me tremendously!
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.
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.
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.
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.
I do this, too! (Well, it’s been a while! Lol)
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.
I do 1/2 mile walking backwards regularly, it's amazing!
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.
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!
Interesting. In Jr high at church camp in the mid 60's, there was a hill to get to the lodge from our camping cabins. Our legs got sore from going up the hill so much, so we turned around and went up backwards. We didn't know that we were ahead of our time!
@Joe Blow ease off the blow, Joe
@Joe Blow its fine for children joe, you're ready for grown up life now
@@rockyevans1584 Do you have an idea about the root cause of your knee pain ? I can tell in 9 out of 10 the problem is your Gluteus Medius- The Forgotten Lower Body Muscle. So, if you want to find out the Best Exercises for This Muscles and prevent injuries, you should read my article :
therehabboy.blogspot.com/2021/08/top-exercises-for-gluteus-medius.html
@Joe Blow some people suck and some people blow, Joe. Some people do the former for the latter, and bless yall lol
@Joe Blow you can dream sir, hope things start looking up for ya
You two help me help my body AND my mind/heart: your upbeat and playful selves are inspiring! Thank you so much!
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!
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
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 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 don’t understand how to walk backwards while being “attached” to a stationary object like a counter. I’d like to try, tho.
I'm recovering from ankle surgery and this is exactly what I've been doing and nobody told me, it just felt good and has really helped.
I am sending this to my son tonight. Thank you so much! ♡
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 always do it at night because I don't wanna do it in public haha but I do it anyways because it's great for me
Hi guys. I found you when ciatica was dibilitating me a month ago. Following your exercises am now better. Now its my knee. Thanks now i have to start walking backwards.
Bob and Brad you just never stop! I gotta try this. But I ain’t going full knee over toes like that dude. Crazy!
Love these guys! Their videos are filled with warmth and positivity.
PERFECT! My knee hurts while binge watching their videos
Thank you
It’s worth watching you ,
Learned something important!
GOD bless u both
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
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!
Thank you I so needed this today!!
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.
Hi. Also watch backward bicycle!
Going to try this. I've been walking a lot, 5 or 6 days a week, and my knees have been hurting. Thanks!
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!
First time meeting you both. Thank you for your video 🙂📸!!!!
I learned this during the 2nd c section having to go up and down the steps I could have used that trick the 1st c section which was the worst!
After 30 run on treadmill I turned it down to one mph and walk backwards the last 3 min.
Love you guys! Always a pleasure to watch your videos. ❤️
I love walking backwards and I enjoy it
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."
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 do this on the elliptical, 50% fwd, 50% reverse, really helped my L5 S1 injury and continues to
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.
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.
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👍😁
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 !!!!!!!!!
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!
This came out in such a perfect timing for me 👏🏽👏🏽
Man seems like their videos always come out right on time for me!

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
Not just good for knee problems but it is also good for sprained hip and does help strengthen my balance coordination
Terrific! Thank you!
Thank for simplified alternative s especially at home
Thanks for the ideas
I had cold laser treatments on both knees today. I am going to get into walking backwards to hopefully avoid future knee pain.
"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
I sometimes walk backwards uphill to relieve backache i.e. not leaning forwards
Great 👍👍 will do!
LOVE that shirt, Bob!
It’s a big surprise for me , I got a fall from playing flying 9 months ago , I got hurt at my back bone but fortunately I don’t need surgery , about 2 months ago I have practice walking without walker , and have walked backward ( 200 steps a time ) and leftwards -rightward( 200 steps / a time ) for fun . Now according to you , it help relieving the pain in knees , I have osteoarthritis , with a little dull pain in my knees if I walk 1 hour or longer ( before the accident )
Thank-you!
Excellent! Liked & shared video Ty!
I would like to try this. My knee is not as stable as it should be from my knee replacement. I would like to be more balanced.

Walking backwards aggravates my left knee. I'm an Early Ed teacher and I routinely walk backwards to keep an eye on my students during hallway transitions.
I do this in the lap pool at the gym. Never worry about falling at all.
My wrist pain worked out after watching these guys
How about riding an exercise bike backwards?
Same effect.
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 UA-cam 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 UA-cam. 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!
Having in the past visiting China , elderly exercise walking backwards ..
Thanks. I appreciate this advice. My knees are stiff due to Arthritis and my left
shoulder has limited mobility due to a bike injury last year. 🙏🏾
Love you both!! :)
Thank you
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
power off treadmill counter intuitive but the steeper the incline the LESS resistance. I do lots of poweroff sprints at 12 percent and walk/run backwards for recovery. I put a pool noodle over the cross bar to cushion my back. This is using a True PS 100 treadmill.
Running/Walking forwards with the poweroff is also a way better workout less impact more muscle development ant with the incline really good for ankles , feet and toes.
It works!!! I did 100 miles over a summer at the beach. strengthen the patella-quad group. and the patella stays where it belongs
Got told try running backwards as part of my warm up before running training.
You suggested to try walking backwards whilst using the lawn mower, terrible idea, wouldn't the roller flatten the grass before the cutter had chance to cut the grass😮
You guys are great
A tip for Golfers- Walking backwards: ok switch your electric golf trolley off then away you go. Dragging the weight of the trolley & clubs is great- as a reasonable load. Choose parts of the fairway to suit-& do at umpteen holes. A definite noticeable bonus. A great way to add a new fitness time dimension & easy.
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
I frequently do a 4 mile walk around my neighborhood. I've been walking backwards at the points where the incline gets steep and when I turn forward to continue, I've got the energy in my knees back again! I must admit though, drivers tend to slow down and wonder what's going on, I guess that's why I prefer walking when the sun's just gone down for I don't intend to attract attention. For safety, I always scan the the sidewalk ahead b4 I turn around to make sure the sidewalk is flat and unobstructed.
i want to get a slant board to stretch calves and walk up the hill near me backwards. i look over one shoulder for 3 steps then the other for the next 3
I walk backwards and sideways in the pool since I have balance issues right now.
Sha sha sha great show
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!
They make small mirrors for bycycles wonder if I could just hold it and watch where I'm going when walking backward?😊💐🚶♀️
I love you guys.
I go down steps backwards and will pedal a stationery bike backwards.
I do this in my hallway or driveway! When I was younger I I tried it on the treadmill as well.
Moonwalk baby!
Running backwards uphill is safer more challenging
However the opposite is true of downhill backwards running which is not recommended since chance of falling & falling with injury much higher as pointed out by worlds favorite Physical Therapists in my opinion of course lol.
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
I’m trying it to rehab a knee injury too
I’m finding knee over toe guy advice amazingly helpful
As long as you are flexible
Can we just walk back and forth in a room, without any resistance offered? Please clarify
How does it raise your metabolism? Can you list. The studies showing this?
Does this also help hips? I recently walked up a very steep hill backwards and my hip pain disappeared for several weeks.
I HEARD YRS AGO THAT WALKING BACKWARDS IS TWICE AS EFFECTIVE IN STRENGTHENING.LEGS
These two are quite humble. They call themselves the best physiotherapists on earth.
Any help for brused bone? lateral side of left knee.i still painful after 7 months.
What can you do when you knee keeping like it's going to pop out of socket and it hurt to stand
downward dog yoga pose also stretches the back of the knee.
Is backward walking beneficial for knee replacement rehab?
How do you see where you're going, if you are running backwards.
I need those wall anchors. Where can I find them?
Is leg extension machine use same knee mechanics as walking backward?
You could use those old school manual lawn mowers from back in Tha day...just flip it n' pull it. Might wrk.
