About Core Advantage

The Core Advantage team has been helping young athletes beat their Osgood & Sever's and return to the sport they love for over two decades.

The Team Behind Core Advantage's Osgood & Sever's Programs

Core Advantage is a high-performance coaching team that's helped over 1,000 young athletes overcome Osgood Schlatter and Sever's Disease since 1999.

While conventional wisdom says "just wait until you grow out of it," we've spent decades proving there's a better way. Our evidence-based rehabilitation protocols help athletes eliminate pain in weeks, not years – getting them back to the sports they love without missing crucial development time.

From Local Gym to Global Solution

For 18 years, we refined our Osgood training protocols exclusively with in-person clients at our Melbourne performance facility. In 2016, we launched our online programs to help athletes worldwide access the same professional-grade rehabilitation that transformed outcomes for our local clients.

Our online programs work because they're:

  • Completed at home in just 10-15 minutes a day
  • Only needs minimal at-home equipment (gym is optional but not required)
  • Based on protocols proven and with hundreds of athletes

Meet the Core Advantage Founders

The Core Advantage Osgood and Sever's programs were developed by Durham McInnis (Head Coach) and Jacob Tober (High Performance Specialist & Head of Education), who combine 40+ years of experience in elite athletic development and injury rehabilitation. Both are still actively working on the program today (you will probably come across them in the support group when you start the program!)

One of our first in-person success stories was Sarah who went from debilitating pain to full competition in 6 weeks.

You  will be able to download a training workbook to log your progress each week along with detailed videos and instructions for all the exercises and email support each week to keep you on track.

How effective is the program?

Our program is incredibly effective. Over 98% of our the athletes that undertake our program see:

  • A 50% reduction in pain levels in the first two weeks
  • Complete elimination of their knee pain after completing the program

This program is designed specifically for Osgood Schlatter Disease, so be sure to have your knee pain diagnosed as Osgood Schlatters by a medical professional before starting.

Other knee injuries may not respond to this program in the same way.
