Does backing up adjust the rear brakes?

I'm definitely finding the top travel of the parking brake firmer in the foot break more effective after several weeks of backing up maybe 50 yards and hitting the brakes every time I park. I've done it maybe 50 times and I'm seeing results!

wouldn't it just be a lot easier and faster to just pull the drums and turn the adjusters? It should only take you like 15min start to finish.

Unfortunately I'm not physically able to jack the car up, remove the wheels, and remove the drums. Or that's what I would do! That's what happens when you get old!
