I hope he was given good exercises for core strengthening that are appropriate to his level and that the physical therapist will check in to make sure he stays on track with the exercises. Weak core can make every thing a person does a lot more work. On a daily basis getting that core stronger can really lower fatigue because the more his strength increases the better it can compensate for the low muscle tone.
While lots of PTs make orthodics, unfortunately lots of them are also not very good at it. If you have a good running store anywhere in your area that might be a good place to call to ask for referrals. Unfortunately it can be hit and miss. If someone is good they really should not just sell you a pair of orthodics but commit to adjusting them and trying other options without charging you a bunch more money.
