Started a few months ago on my treadmill walking backwards for 5 mins. After a few days I noticed I could walk with less pain in my knee. I started walking again outside on my block and began slowly losing weight. This program has got me back walking and enjoying it. Thanks for the program.

Amazing video. I'm starting tomorrow walking backwards whatever the neighbors may think.

When I was a kid I used to run backwards because it was fun. Now at 78 my knees deteriorated so bad I could barely walk with my walker and getting out of a chair was just pure will power. I was getting to the point where I was thinking about giving up. After much prayer I received this video. Immediately walking backwards was less painful than going forwards. So I kept it up. I would go somewhere and then come back going backwards. It didn't just help my pain - I had renewed hope that I would get better. I am still using a walker but I have lost 20 Pounds and have renewed hope that my other health issues will also get better. Thank you for this video.

Type 2, you probably already know, is a lifestyle issue. Aside from eating better, slowly building up to occasionally doing at least 16 hour dry fasts will heal your body wonderfully. Even regular (ironically harder and less effective) water fasting is great at reversing type 2 diabetes. Check out Dr Mindy or even Dr Jason Fung. Both of them explain how to ease into fasting very slowly and the scientific health benefits. Dr Jason Fung in particular talks about how it reverses your issues. Good luck and be well regardless of what path you take. 🙂

I had knee pain for 4 years in my 20s and every doctor I saw wanted to put me through surgery. I decided that I needed to rehab my self since no one could help me and I too started working on the back side of my legs. It literally took me 6 weeks of glute and hamstring concentrated exercises to eliminate my knee pain that I endured for 4 years. Makes me so thankful there are people like you out there trying to help by using natural remedies. Our bodies are so amazing it’s a shame some doctors are not educated it that.

I've been a KOT evangelist for a year, and between my own amazing results (knees feel amazing at age 65, 50 years as a competitive runner) and others who have tried it, we are spreading Ben's light everywhere, everyday.

Ben, I'm 58, and have had major body abuse repercussions from sports after I turned 50. Knees being one of them. Just an FYI for you. Backwards walking with no resistance did little for my knees, but Walking backwards with resistance made my knees feel better almost instantly. I use my weight cable system and my treadmill with the power off. I also have a home made sled which I will probably use at some point too. I've done about 5 days of it and my knees feel way better. Interestingly my feet (which have been my main source of pain and dysfunction the last 2-3 years (Hence adding barefoot shoes and toe spacers,) )have felt better as well. I speculate I'm getting better blood flow, better stretch and better muscle recruitment with resistance. As for my feet and toes, they are working very hard during the backward walking, giving them the same benefit. So for anyone not feeling improvement with no resistance, maybe adding some will work for you as well.

Any updates on your knees? Have you kept with the sled pulls?

I've been the only person doing knees over toes exercises at my gym. Today, someone else did them....YEAH!! I discovered him several months ago and now my knees and legs are super strong. I'm 70 years old.

The outro is probably the most wholesome thing and filled with wisdom. It's because people get injured/hurt that they've been able to surpass themselves and learn/create new concepts to heal. That is such an important lesson because way too many get easily depressed from their shortcomings without taking the time to acknowledge the lesson that needed to be learned. So we'll said Dr Berg.

Probably the best channel for practical health and fitness advice. My knees are painful from years of squats of 230kg and leg presses of 480kg at a bodyweight of just 80kg. I get pain whilst hiking or even climbing stairs. From now on my life is definitely going backwards to go forwards

This is amazing and the timing couldn't be more perfect. I just had surgery on my meniscus 3 weeks ago and I need to start exercising to strengthen my knee in preparation for a 25 mile backpacking trip I have in June.... I live in a very hilly area, so walking backwards uphill it is!!! Thank you so much for this video

HELL YEAH! This is a collaboration I can fully endorse. Knees over toes and Dr. Berg. you two have helped me rebuild my body and I'm extremely grateful.

I’m coming up on a year doing Ben’s programs and I can see a future with NO knee pain. As an ex sponsored skateboarder in his late 30s that’s a big deal.

One thing I remembered that walking up a hill backwards is strengthening muscles that are directly related to your heart and strengthens your circulatory system it makes sense because you don't use those muscles so that's like a complete balance to your system I just did 100 steps I feel a good burn in my knees and it was effortless I'm going to continue doing this thank you doc

I don’t have a sled and with 4 dogs the yard is not a good option lol so I was dragging a huge bag of dog food from delivery at front porch through the house to the storage closet when I realized I found my sled replacement option. Now we have no carpet so I can’t speak to a carpeted floor but vinyl planking works phenomenal. I drug that bag 2 laps around through the kitchen dining room and living room twice and felt the burn. Pays to think outside the box. I have had knee issues for decades I’m 63 now. 3 years ago I had a scope with lateral release and 8 months later I had the same surgery on my right knee. I’ve been riding a bicycle outside or indoors depending on weather fairly regularly to help with fluid but honestly walking for exercise is terrible for my knees. I’m 4’10” 110lbs so weight is not an issue. I rarely take anything for pain so as to not have stomach issues so it’s just something I live with. It gets old hurting so I’m definitely going to get a routine going and give this an honest effort. Truly can’t say enough for the online community that shares a wealth of knowledge and experience…I learn and improve my life a little every day. Peace and happiness everyone.

Omg I’ve had knee pain for over 4 weeks now I’ve been taking tablets & applying heat cream on my knee & leg. It’s left me feeling awful & not being able to sleep well. Thank you for this video dr berg.

All I can say is wow!! I just found this page and with every video I'm so grateful and then I find this one. I'm in shape but am44 yrs old and yes I've exercised wrong in yrs past. This video is amazing to say the least, can't wait to go up a hill backwards! For me cause it's a totally new sensation? I can't wait also for my lower back.

My two favorite people online, love to see this! The world is getting better every day

Wow. This is life changing info. Imagine how many knee surgeries and replacement will be saved.

Two of my most favorite people, in one spot! How lucky are we. Y'all are appreciated. Be blessed 🙏🏽 and know love ❤️

Great, guys. Been following both of you for a while. As a PT assistant with many years experience, Ben's information is super. BTW, if you don't have access to a sled or tread, an old cheap tarp will do. Load it with gravel or weights or dirt, and maybe attach a rope. Pull it backward.

Thank you for this video! I'm 66 years old and have enjoyed hiking for many years. I was starting to have so much knee pain that I was going to give up on hiking. You have given me new hope.

This was such a great and timely video! Recently did something to my knee and have been looking up everything I could on how to strengthen both my knees so I can continue with my heavy lifting. This is also so helpful for my eternal lower back pain from my 20+ yrs of sitting down for work. I will definitely check out more of his videos and implement some of the exercises in my routine. Thank youuuuu!

I've been dealing with bad tendonitis in my left knee for a couple months now. A couple weeks ago I said enough and wanted to get some new squat shoes thinking that was the problem. Then I started reading up on proper knee warmups and mobility and applying them to my own knee. Just had the first knee pain free leg day in a while all from focusing on warming up and mobility around the knee.

Just find stairs and walk backwards down, did it for years to alleviate my arthritis

Thanks for having Ben. This Is valuable.

I survived in an accident almost 15 years ago but ended up with right leg disability. Post which even if i go for walks or workout my legs, I fall very ill that I've been asked not to do lower. I'll try this slowly taking baby steps. Thanx to both of you 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

This makes PERFECT sense. I work with a lot of older adults & they lose the ability to move laterally & backwards. I will add some more backwards walking to my programming. I bet backwards water walking holding a kick board to add drag would be good also. And with my monster band I will add that warm up exercise to my personal training. Thanks for the excellent video!!! I am anxious to try this out!

Wow, what a different way of exercising! I will definitely incorporate these concepts into my workouts, beginning today. Looking forward to saying goodbye to the aches and pains and pinched nerves.

Thank you so much Dr Berg and Ben for this amazing information. I had knee surgery 5 years ago. Last year I was told I needed both knees replaced which I don’t want to do. After my knee surgery I was in so much pain and decided to try going up our stairs backward. The pain was way less but I knew that was not a safe way to climb stairs. I will be trying this starting today. Thanks a million again to both of you.

AMAZING!!! By following both of you, I had an idea 2 years ago that you should get together on a podcast and now it really HAPPENED!! What else can I say when both of you changed how I see training and nutrition!!

I recently broke my femur in a car accident which also resulted in a knee replacement. Looking forward to getting out of this wheelchair and incorporating this into my life. Thanks for the video Dr Berg!

I hate long videos but I just couldn't stop watching this video. I have learned so much from the information provided here. Great video with an amazing guest. Thank you for sharing.

Ran backward at the park today to see if it help my sprained left knee. Initially it was stop/go and stumble from pain but about 30 min in the pain gone completely. I did noticed lean body back like pulling sledge works the best. Thank you to you both I owe you...

What an amazing collaboration!! Thank you for having Ben on! He has so much to share with the world and is changing so many lives, including mine! ❤️🙏🏻

Glad to know that you liked this post! -Dr. Berg's support team

Wow !! Love this ! This chap knows his stuff !! I hurt my knee during 2020 lock down. Done various bits of physio to little effect but this looks like a contender to finally improve that 😁😁

Ben knows his stuff. Been doing his exercises for about a yr after tearing up my left knee skiing. It WORKS.

The content in this discussion is pure gold. Thank you both.

This is sooo cool! I started walking after I retired. I began walking backwards because I thought it might help my coordination, but I'm glad to hear it is also helping my overall leg strength. I also go sideways- both sides. Thank you both!

You are very welcome. Be well!

This is so informative. I'm so glad I came across your page. I have had knee pain and currently going to PT. So adding this excercise will help me intensly. Thank you so much for providing great content.

I hurt my knee while running and going through rehabilitation. I'd add this exercises to my list, I watched the full video and I'll definitely do these. Thanks a million for sharing

Two of my favorite KZreadrs right here together! Thanks for your contributions guys!

Agree with this statement as a occupational therapist. Sled pushes and sled pulls are very important for knee health. Most people and athletes have over developed quads and lack of focus on the hamstrings and stabilizing muscles in the lower body.

Going to follow the program. I refereed hockey until I was 71 and felt the difference from skating backwards. I am now 80 and hiking with a little knee pain, so looking forward to this so that I can do more mountain hiking. Thanks Dr. Berg and Ben Patrick!

Thank you for the discussion and the well needed factual knowledge of how to fix knee pain with Ben Patrick. My husband has knee problems. I had lower back problems and severe pain. I went to an orthopedic at the VA, they said my right leg is slightly lower than my left. Went through some tests. Now I put Adjust a Lift leaf on right side of my shoe. My back pain went away within 3 days! Boom! I started buying Adjust a Lift's for all my shoes! I am so thankful to GOD for someone showing me the problem of my severe back pain, because I was praying about it so much and fasting.❤❤❤

This is great information. My husband and I (both 67) want to stay active; we love hiking and traveling. He just recently developed some knee pain, so I found this channel. It makes total sense (I'm a retired rehab therapist). We don't go to a gym, but do have hills, an elliptical machine and a treadclimber. Thanks for this great video.
