Recently one of my patients said their friend had slipped a disc – there was no formal diagnosis – just they heard and felt something pop in their back. The truth is discs will never slip!

One small step for man, one giant leap on a treadmill. Many people think that the millions we spend on spaceflight and exploration is a waste that could be spent down here on Earth in better ways. The night sky may look pretty on a clear night, but the content of space doesn’t really affect our everyday lives.
