Finally, a program to fix your adult Osgood Schlatter knee pain
With over 6,000 athletes helped worldwide, the Core Advantage program is the world's foremost Osgood Schlatter training program, for children, teens and adults alike.
The standard advice says the pain should have gone at skeletal maturity, then leaves you to work around it. This program does the opposite: structured loading that resolves the bump while you keep training.

How does the Adult Osgood Schlatter program work?
Built on the foundations of our junior Osgood program, the adult plan is tailored to adults, helping you build strength and mobility while providing fast relief from your knee pain. Suitable for adults of all fitness levels, at home or in the gym, in just minutes each day.
A multidimensional approach to the root cause
What each session covers
Every session works on the cause of your knee pain, not just the symptoms:
- Soft tissue work
- Mobility
- Progressive strength
- Movement correction
- A graduated return to sport
What to expect
Most adults feel significant pain relief within 10 days, and many are pain-free before the end of week 7.
Built for adult bone
Adult Osgood Schlatter is more stubborn than childhood cases: the growth plate has fused and the tendon has been irritated for years. Loading and return-to-sport pacing are set for that.

Your 7-week journey to pain-free
Each phase builds on the last across five evidence-based parts: targeted soft tissue work, mobility, progressive strength, movement-pattern correction, and a graduated return to sport. Most adults feel pain drop within about 10 days.
-
Assess the root
Identify the specific drivers of your adult Osgood Schlatter pain: the ossicle, patellar tendon tension, and surrounding tightness that standard physiotherapy often misses. Targeted soft tissue work and mobility settle the knee from day one.
-
Strengthen the cause
Progressive strength applied to the tendon in a controlled, safe way: the evidence-based method elite sports medicine uses for chronic patellar tendon pain in adults. This resolves the injury rather than masking it.
-
Return to full sport
Rebuild movement quality, strength, and confidence so you return to full activity, running, jumping, kneeling, and competing, without modifying around the knee. Movement-pattern correction and a graduated return keep it from coming back.

Shelby Huffaker ★★★★★I'm finishing up week 3 and my pain is substantially down already, and I have been able to continue running.

Anonymous Person ★★★★★I wish I had known about this decades ago. I'm 38 and still suffering with pain related to fairly bad osgood schlatters as a ~ 12 year old. Sadly back then the only treatment I had was a small amount of rest, nothing else- and I still have pretty severe point tenderness, pain with running etc. I've just finished the 7 week program today - it has done a great job at reducing the pain and also developing strong habits around foam rolling, stretching, strength exercises etc which I will certainly carry forward.

Doug Fingliss ★★★★★I was originally diagnosed with a torn meniscus and started with a physical therapist doing rehab, but was not seeing results. I pushed to get an MRI as I didn't think I had a torn meniscus. The MRI confirmed my meniscus was fine, but that I had adult acute Osgood Schlatters disease. I had no idea what this was and did some research, seeing a lot about it being in kids. When I found this program and it recognized and had a course of treatment for adult OS I figured I had nothing to lose. Within 2 weeks my pain was significantly lessened and by the end of the 7 weeks I am basically pain free. This has also gotten me to take foam rolling and stretching a lot more seriously than I had. As I get older I need to be better about injury prevention. I'd rather prevent and injury now than have to rehab from one.

R Gary ★★★★★Finally a program that focuses on the issue that focuses on treating this pain. I’m so glad I found it. I only wish I for us it earlier rather than going to PT. I’m an adult and the bump is slowly going down.

Frequently asked questions
How effective is the Adult Osgood Schlatter program?
Highly effective. Adult Osgood is more stubborn than childhood cases, but the large majority of adults who follow this program through see their pain resolve.
Most adults feel significant pain reduction within the first 10 days, with steady improvement after that, and many report a real increase in their freedom of movement, mobility, and ability to complete daily activities with less restriction than before.
Adult Osgood is more stubborn than childhood cases, so while the program is structured over 7 weeks, allow 8 to 12 weeks for full recovery. You have lifetime access, so you can work at the pace your body needs.
The program is not hard, but it does require consistency: a specific exercise routine of a few minutes of gentle training most days of the week.
How does the Adult Osgood program work?
The adult program is built on the foundations of our junior Osgood program and tuned for mature bone, which is more stubborn and needs a slightly different progression.
It is a seven-week progressive plan combining five evidence-based components: targeted soft tissue work, mobility training, progressive strength, movement-pattern correction, and graduated activity progression with clear guidelines for returning to sport. Each element gently builds function and reduces symptoms as the tendon and surrounding tissue recover and adapt.
Most participants feel significant pain reduction within the first 10 days, while the later stages build the underlying capacity that keeps pain from coming back. Sessions take 10 to 15 minutes a day. All exercises can be completed in a gym or at home, we provide instructions for both.
Everything you need is included: full video instructions for every exercise, written guidance, and weekly progression plans so you always know exactly what to do and when. You'll also get access to our private online support group, where you can ask questions and get answers directly from the Core Advantage coaches throughout your recovery.
What are the typical results for adults?
Most adults arrive after years of being told the bump would resolve on its own, with pain that flares under load, kneeling, or stairs.
Following the program diligently, most adults feel significant pain reduction within the first 10 days, with steady gains after that. It's not unusual to see dramatic improvement within the first one to two weeks.
Many participants reach complete relief and zero Osgood pain before the end of the seventh week, and most go on to return to full activity. Adult cases that have lingered for many years can take a little longer, which is why you keep lifetime access to repeat stages and progress at your own pace.
Does this program work for other knee conditions like patellar tendinopathy?
The program is designed for chronic Osgood Schlatter in adults who are no longer growing.
Some people with related conditions, like patellar tendinopathy (also called runner's knee or jumper's knee), see good results too, thanks to the crossover in progressive strength training, mobility work, and load management principles.
To be sure it's the right fit, get your knee pain diagnosed by a medical professional before you start to confirm it is related to Osgood Schlatter.
What is the difference between the adult and junior Osgood Schlatter programs?
Both programs share the same structure and progression. The adult version is built on the foundations of the junior program and adapted for adult knees and bodies, with adjustments to exercise selection, loading strategy, and pacing. Adult tissue is more stubborn and progresses more gradually than a child's.
Both programs are the same price. Adults should follow the Adult Osgood Program for the best outcome, while children and teenagers should use the Junior Osgood Program tuned for growing bodies.

Can I keep exercising and playing sport while on the program?
Most of the time, yes, with some modifications. We encourage most adults to continue with sport and exercise during the program, and as long as your case isn't extreme you should be able to maintain most activities with some adjustments.
This usually means reducing activity by around 30% at the start of the program to let the knee calm down enough to build strength and mobility, then a gradual return to full activity across the seven weeks.
The program includes guidance for managing your training load and a plan to smoothly return to sport once your pain is under control, which helps reduce the risk of setbacks. A medical opinion is also recommended.
How much does the Adult Osgood Schlatter program cost?
The program is a single one-time payment, no subscription, no recurring fees, no hidden costs. Pricing is displayed in your local currency at checkout.
Unlike traditional physical therapy, which can mean months of expensive weekly appointments, everything you need is included from day one with lifetime access to all program materials.
And if it's not the right fit, our no-questions-asked 100% money-back guarantee means you can start with complete confidence. Members get 30% off the second program, applied automatically at checkout.
Do I need to join a gym for this program?
No. The program can be completed entirely from home with minimal equipment, just a foam roller and some floor space.
A leg extension machine can help, but it's not required. We provide alternatives for every exercise so you can make progress regardless of your setup.
What if this program doesn't work for me?
We offer a 100% money-back guarantee. Email us at any point during the seven weeks and we'll offer to help; if you'd still rather have your money back, we refund the full cost, no questions asked and no need to finish first.
Some adult cases are slower to respond, especially if you've had Osgood pain for many years, so you keep lifetime access to repeat stages and progress at the pace your body needs.
Followed consistently, the large majority of adult cases resolve.
Seven weeks from now, the bump no longer rules your training.
