What happens to your discs when you run? Risk or no risk ? Can disc herniations resorb ? Also, some new research on ankle sprains and cross spinal cord reflex responses, compensation pattern, brain transplants and more !  Plus a rant on why we insist on 2 weeks non-weight bearing after ankle sprains.
