1. Footwork (usually the key)
-kneedrops
-know when to frontpoint and when to edge
-any footwork that will bring your hips closer to the rock
2.Core muscles
-if you don't normally, make a concious effort to maintain body tension as you climb through crux moves
-Hips in towards the wall, CG over your feet...

I have the same problem with really overhung problems. The best advise I can give is to learn your moves and sequence them together. Oh yeah, don't forget to breathe

I find that it helps to Tense up your abs as much as possible whenever you make a movement.
