A member asked:

How good is walking backwards for people with hip joint pain?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See details: I personally have never heard of that as a remedy for hip arthritis. If it is so painful for you to walk, you need toe get it evaluated to determine the cause. Treatment can help.
