Good idea. it would be intereesting to prospectively see if injuries/knee/lower limb pain could be reduced in a large cycle club by putting together a simple tailored routine for people to learn an dfollow, and yes James I can imagine that stabilising pelvis hips would really benefit lower limb chronic injuries if you are improving the whole kinetic chain and gait. funnily enough I was telling my MSK physio friend the other day how i ceased ankle pain while running recently after i noticedf my left hip flexors were weak on the same side. After working on them i have now gotten rid of the ankle pain as my foot strike is not happeningtoo early causing my ankle top overpronate, however, as usual, i digress.
But yes i think the hip joint is sort of underestimated a lot of the time, especially in people who do a lot of training in ojne plane but demand multidirectional power when competing, ie rugby backs/football midfield/strikers, netball and runners. i think to some extent it is a little bit like when people get shoulder pain and it is not that they have rotator cuff pathology necessarily as the primaery cause, but that they have overstrengthened their major rotators, without equally strengthening their minor rotators, causing instability. In some ways I think this can be the issue for cyclists too as they will be beefing up gluts, vast lat but not the internal hip muscles or maybe the hamstrings and adductors

If you think ice skating will help I would happily do that (again)! Would also like to know how to get the right side to 'work together' as well as the left... the right side is certainly more unstable so I can vouch for that. And would be up for a workshop.
