Reviews for the Core Advantage Osgood Schlatter & Sever's Programs

My 11 year old son has had recurring Osgood pain which really affected his ability to run, play football and ultimate frisbee. We completed the programme and it's made a huge difference - even just the rolling on day 1 helped relieve some of the pain. The daily exercises do need commitment and investment to keep going with but I would highly recommend sticking with it.

This is an outstanding program. I am a PT myself and purchased this program years ago for my daughter who is a soccer player. After completing this program she no longer struggles with pain. She has been playing soccer still into her college years as a division 2 athlete and fortunately denies any Osgood related pain. I myself have used the concepts of this program with my patients and I love it. Thank you for your expertise which has allowed my daughter to continue to play her sport all these years pain free.

This program is fantastic. I bought this for my son who was diagnosed with OSD. He was in so much pain after soccer practice that he was h able to train. At week 3 of no training I found this program and he did the exercises diligently. Every week progressing to less pain. By week 4 of the program he was already back at training and playing 25 min each game. He has now been pain free for about 6 weeks and playing full halves. He does use a knee brace to help support him during training and recovery. Thank you for helping him get back to the sport he loves!

I love this !!!!!!!!!

My 11 year old daughter was struggling with knee pain in both legs and couldn't kick it with rest alone. After 2-3 weeks of the program she was feeling significantly better and after 6-7 weeks she was pain free. The program was easy for her to follow on her own and she's going to continue to do the exercises. I was skeptical about purchasing an online program, but this is the real deal. I would HIGHLY recommend for any young athlete struggling with osgood schlatters.

My son is on week 6 of the programme. He took osgood in his left knee in May and had to cut down his playing and training time. He plays competitive football and his pain rating has gone down from 6 to 0 as the programme has progressed. After starting slowly and building up he has followed the programme consistently and can run much freer and with little or no pain. The excercises have strengthened his quads and calves which in turn has taken some of the load of his knee. The results have been amazing! He is now back to training twice a week and weekend league matches and will continue to use elements of the programme after it is completed as it has helped him so much.

My son had just started experiencing Osgood symptoms after starting a new football season and I was worried he would be sitting out a lot and suffering for a long time like I did as a child. However, when I looked into the program and saw how it logically moves from foam rolling, to strength and flexibility, we decided to give it a try. We are now finishing week 3 of the program and my son's pain is almost gone. It does flare up a bit after his match at the weekend but it is on the mend and I recommend the program fully.

A fantastic program that was easy to follow and my son is now happy that he can play football again without pain.

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

My son had been quietly complaining about heel pain for weeks—hovering around a 4 or 5 out of 10. We tried all the usual things: ice, heat, long warm-ups for his calves and feet before workouts. But after a big track meet followed by a tough practice the next day—boom—it shot up to a 9. He couldn’t even walk. The podiatrist diagnosed him with Sever’s Disease. 1. I had never even heard of it. 2. The only advice we got was to stop all activity for 2 months… or just wait until he finished growing. Neither option was acceptable. He’s an active kid, and that "just wait" advice felt like a dead end. We were frustrated. The first 20 blogs and medical websites we found all said the same thing: stretch (which only made it worse) and wait. Out of sheer desperation, we did an “incognito search” online—and that’s when we found your Core Advantage Sever’s Program. I read everything: the website pages, the published articles, and watched the available videos. It all made complete sense. Finally, someone who understood both the condition and what it takes to get an athlete back safely and stronger. My son started using the Sever’s Program, and—wow—it worked exactly as promised. He was able to return to taekwondo in just 3 weeks, compete in a national tournament at 7 weeks, and is now easing back into track using the Return to Performance plan, carefully following the guidance on volume and intensity. We’re so grateful. Thank you for offering something that actually works when so many others just say “rest and wait.”

My Osgood was quite mild, but this programme has been helping me a lot with strengthening my legs, so I know I can start playing without a strap again, and hopefully never have any pain again!

This is the only program that has helped my son with his issues. The detailed instructions and steps are fantastic. He went from constant severe pain to lower pain levels much less often. I highly recommend this program to anyone having issues with Osgood Shlatters.

Great program

When my young athlete went down with severe knee pain I naturally hit the panic button. It the beginning of indoor track season. At that point I had never heard of Osgood Schlatters (OS). Once OS was his diagnosis, I hastened to find a good treatment program. I stumbled upon your program online and it was off to the races (pun intended). After just four weeks he was feeling so good that he tried to rejoin his Winter football team, but reinjured his knee the first practice and he had to return to the beginning of the program. We just finished week seven and he is sprinting without pain, ready for his first outdoor track meet (100 & 200 meters). I would highly recommend this program to anyone who has a young athlete needing to recover from OS. The program deals with strengthening, flexibility, kinetics, as well as load management. It has benefitted us tremendously.

My 10 year old daughter is a figure skater, and had been struggling with OS for 6 months. We made some progress with our physio, but it was really up and down. Once we added the very structured and easy to follow OS program, we saw almost immediate benefit. Having the workbook helped us with accountability and consistency, and as soon as she started to feel less pain, she was hooked. My only regret is hesitating to sign up.

My 13 year old son played a basketball comp in January and could hardly walk. His pain level was at 8 sometimes 9. After two weeks the pain was noticeably halved. And by week 7 he was pain free. In week 6 he played 8 games of basketball over a weekend. Can not recommend this program enough

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.

I’m so glad I discovered this program while researching Osgood. It has significantly helped reduce my 13-year-old daughter's knee pain and restored her confidence to perform at her best. As a very active athlete, she’s also feeling more flexible, which will enhance her agility in sports. We plan to continue with this program alongside other exercises for as long as possible. Thank you to the team—please keep up the amazing work!

Tried this after the doctor said "Just rest." Rested for 2 years and still had pain. Followed this plan diligently; pain free in few months. Had to work on muscle imbalances after all that time limping but now back to running. Thank you for a real solution!

My 14 yr old is now PAIN FREE !! My 14 yr old was in so much pain his orthopedic doc wanted to immobilize his leg !! I am so thankful we found this program. Within a few weeks he had relief from pain. Almost a year later he continues to maintenance roll and continues to have zero pain. So thankful !!!!

I cannot thank this program enough for my 15 year old son that has been battling with this disease for the last 18 plus months. Prior to the program he had brief moments where he would feel some relief from various exercises that he would do daily but often not enough relief to truly assist him with continuing his involvment in his activities. Once he began the program and especially after the first two weeks of the program he immeidately began having more sustainable relief that allowed him to participate more fully in his competitive athletic activities. He not only had pain relief but no pain to very little pain at all when workloads were within reason. He also regained his happiness and belief that this too would get better with the help of this program. As he stated yesterday I am so thankful for the program and will continue to maximize their exercises.

Amazing program who helped my son be pain free within a couple of weeks. Before that he was having trouble even walking.

Outstanding results! Just started week 5 and my 14yo son is feeling great! Worth every penny!

Excellent program! The rolling and exercises provided my nine old soccer player immediate relief. Although she’s still working through the program and her growing spurt continues she’s functional and much more comfortable. Most importantly she’s learned about body mechanics and that to be a strong athlete it takes more than what you do on the field. We’ve incorporated the program into our lives. Much appreciate the step-by-step instruction and videos that all can follow. Highly recommend the program!
