I have recently heard walking backwards is good for knee pain and balance .
Anyone have experience with this?

Kneesovertoeguy is big into it. He does walking backwards with sled every workout

It’s great for developing the muscles around the knee and seems to help both above and below. Progression includes walking backwards uphill and backwards sled drags.
When I tore my meniscus and started KOT, it felt a bit silly walking backwards laps on my patio, but now I’m dragging a decently heavy sled with no knee pain.

Yep. I start every gym workout with a 10 min sled session. On my base HR runs, I’ll routinely walk up hills backward to keep my HR in range. On recovery runs at the track, I’ll do a quarter of that distance running backwards.

I read the same thing about walking backwards. So, as I walk up the slope on the street near my house I usually walk backwards up the last section for 100 steps. You can tell it helps with your knees and quads.

I think it played a big part in helping my knee pain.

70s Big was into foot drills back in the day, which included walking backwards.

Done daily these six drills will eliminate shin splints, Achilles’ tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, lessen the chance of a severe ankle sprain and virtually all knee problems. The famous Rice Study done in the early 90s found that 79% of running injuries are from the knee down. One of the reasons I had successful teams is that my athletes made it to the competition day healthy and ready to compete. Season after season was completed with virtually no injuries.
quote:
We did the six drills at the start of each practice. Five of the six drills are done barefooted or in
stocking feet. The distance covered for each drill is about 25 meters. Each drill is done once daily. The
walking is done at one’s own pace. Total time for the drill with shoes off to shoes on is about four
minutes. Pretty simple.
The six drills, illustrated below, are simply to walk on the outside of the foot (invert the foot), walk on
the inside of the foot (evert the foot), walk with a toe-in, or pigeon-toed gain (adduct the foot), walk
with the toes pointing out (a la Charlie Chaplin), and with the shoes back on, walk on the heels – this
protects against bruising the heel.

I do it every day at lunch at work. It has helped me a lot as a prehab for olympic lifting. Only downside is way too many people at the plant think I'm just going crazy in the heat.
