Is walking backwards good for your health?
Walking backwards is a common way of fitness, which has many benefits to human health. The function of walking backwards is very comprehensive, and the effect of walking backwards has also been highly praised by experts. What is the specific function of walking backwards? The current data prove that the advantages of walking backwards are: it can correct hunchback, treat low back pain, lose weight and strengthen brain. A healthy spine should be straight, and many people have a slight hunchback. This is closely related to people's daily life. Normal human movement, whether walking or running, is forward. Long-term one-way movement, the center of gravity moves forward and the spine leans forward, which will inevitably lead to the bending of the trunk. In the long run, it will form a hunchback, and the more serious the hunchback is. The principle of correcting humpback by walking backwards is that the center of gravity moves backwards, which will definitely correct the curvature of the spine (humpback). The therapeutic effect of back walking, hunchback bending and back walking on low back pain is recognized and widely recommended by doctors to patients. A large number of facts have proved that back walking is an effective rehabilitation method for low back pain. The principle of walking backwards to treat low back pain is the same as that of walking backwards to correct hunchback. Most low back pain is caused by long-term bad posture, and low back pain and hunchback often appear at the same time. Correcting hunchback is also the correction of bad waist posture. It is a new healthy way to lose weight by walking backwards to treat low back pain.

It can be seen that the function and function of reverse walking are beyond doubt, and the principle of reverse walking is clear, but we should also pay attention to the methods and skills of reverse walking. Like all exercises, you should be safe when walking backwards. Pay special attention to the choice of shoes when walking backwards. Don't choose shoes with heels. Heels of any height are not conducive to the safety of walking backwards and increase the probability of falling. The higher the heel, the more dangerous it is. The statement that middle-heeled shoes are good for health is also pseudoscientific propaganda, without any scientific basis (see Right and Wrong between Shoes and Health for details). When walking backwards, you should also pay attention to the choice of venue to avoid accidents.
