Have come across this paper which is a review of the literatre ( could not fit title paper into thread header). Seems quite intresting has anyone out there got any thoughts on this paper , it seems to suggest that poor core stabilty is more likley to lead to lower limb injury than excessive foot pronation ( I know people hate that phrase ! )
it is by V .Chunter and X Janse de Jonge Gait and posture 36 ( 2012) 7-15

 

But, this study showed those runners with a weaker core (based of FMS score) got less injuries:

(and because it was a masters thesis and not in a peer reviewed journal it did not get included in the above review)

 

thanks Craig makes sense ,would not be the most stupid thing to say "here are your orthotics also , do a few lunges and squats"
