Retro locomotion training benefits are summarized as follows:
  •        Provide sport-specific activity training;
  •        Improve cardiovascular function;
  •        Provide stronger musculo-skeletal foundation;
  •        Improve muscle balance;
  •        Help prevent injuries;
  •        Facilitate neuro-muscular function;
  •        Facilitate balance and proprioception.
"anecdotal evidence suggesting that backward running and/or walking provided unique training and/or rehabilitative benefits"
Some conditions that have been observed to respond positively to retro locomotion include the following:
  • Muscle strains including low back,hip, groin and hamstrings
  • Ankle sprains
  • Post-surgical knee joint rehabilitation
  • Shin splint syndrome
  • Achilles tendon strains.
