Performing a five-minute backward walk can strengthen the knee and reduce the risk of falling in the elderly.

“This is one of my favorite exercises for knee strength and mobility.”

“backwards walking is like Nature's knee exercise you're in a position to get stronger and hand circulation”

“by walking backward, you're able to get stronger in that position. For elderly, this is associated with less chance of falling down the stairs.”

“I've used that to help people who can't walk anymore, and they walk backward enough, and now they can walk.”

“So this is a great position. Five minutes. It's kind of like Mother Nature's exercise to reverse knee pain.”
