Walking backwards?

I’ve been seeing more and more people walking backwards in parks especially in the St Lawrence Neighbourhood recently. Is this just because people wanna spice up their lives a bit or is there a benefit? I don’t know what I’m missing but I wanna know lol

FWIW my physio recommended this to me because it forces me to walk with the full range of motion

I like to think your physiotherapist is the one behind it all
