    This is interesting. We all too often see here when people have sore shins or feet or knees that the advice given is get the gait analysis and new shoes and you'll be laughing. May be true and works in many cases but from experiences sorting the issues out further up the body will usually get to the root cause as opposed to the quick or short-term fix.

    Something to bear in mind I suppose.

    Zuppylurk was talking about someone recently who had lower leg problems and they were eventually traced to a shoulder problem..... It really is true that your
    "Dem bones, dem bones gonna walk aroun'
    Dem bones, dem bones, gonna walk aroun'
    Dem bones, dem bones, gonna walk aroun'
    . . .
    The head bone connected to the neck bone,
    The neck bone connected to the back bone,
    The back bone connected to the thigh bone,
    The thigh bone connected to the knee bone,
    The knee bone connected to the leg bone,
    The leg bone connected to the foot bone"
    . . ."

    In a similar vein this study from the University of Calgary is interesting.

    Ferber was stunned to discover that of 284 patients who visited his clinic complaining of leg pain over a period of seven months, 92 per cent had weak hip muscles.

    Here he endorses 3 key hip strengthening exercises to help resolve lower leg problems.
