Pain in the knee that is allowed to continue without treatment will cause physical dysfunction in the individual with knee osteoarthritis. One of the interventions to treat pain in knee osteoarthritis is retrowalking. The mechanism of action of retrowalking in reducing pain is through its unique biomechanical mechanism, starting from the toe on phase.
