Something as simple as walking in reverse can help give your joints what they need to get some pain relief. Walking forwards tends to stress the same parts of the joint over and over again. Whereas walking backwards can help stress different parts of the joint that aren't irritated. It's just like if someone was helping you on a project, one part of the joint does it's work moving forwards and the other helps out when moving backwards. Joint pain tends to flare when one part of the joint is too stressed and doing too much of the work.
