The NY Knicks suffered a major blow yesterday when it was revealed that Amare Stoudemire will be out “indefinitely” with a bulging disc in his lower back. I’m writing today to tell both the NY Knicks and Amare that while I do believe he has back pain, I do NOT believe he has a back [...]

After withdrawing a couple weeks ago from a tournament with another Achilles tendon injury, earlier this week he suffered a back injury. Tiger swears he’s, “good to go now,” but I beg to differ.

Harvard researchers just wrapped up four years of studying the Harvard running teams (track and cross-country) investigating whether running form correlates with running injuries.
