Reviews for the Core Advantage Osgood Schlatter & Severs Programs

An amazing and supportive environment! Core have become like family to me getting me though some really low times and enabled me to achieve some of my goals already. I always look forward to walking into the gym and always feel as though i’m in a safe environment to continue to sweat and heal the bone stress in my legs! Much love to the crew always

Great coaches. Individualised programs for everyone and every sport. Have helped me significantly with my strength and conditioning this past year and I look forward to continuing my journey with them!

This program delivered. My 14 year old son rolls out everyday even though he finished week 7 a while ago. He has been able to play and train for soccer virtually pain free since the end of week one. Worth every penny!

My 14 year old son was diagnosed with Osgood earlier this year and the physio told us that to get rid of it was to stop playing sports for a period of time or he can play through it by managing it of course my son wanted to keep playing and was “managing” the pain for a couple of months wearing a knee brace and putting ice on the knee bone after sports but it only made the pain worst each time he played/train. We are so glad we found this program my older son used to go to Core Advantage when he was playing junior sports and loved it so when we saw this program we were confident it was backed by experts in this field. The first 3-4 weeks of the program helped to reduce my son’s pain to low level it was great that he didn’t have to stop sports completely. He found that as he increased his workload he had a spike in the pain level do not be discouraged by this he stuck with the program he even repeated one of the weeks as suggested in the program and even when he got to week seven he found he still had a bit of pain after sports so he just kept working on week seven it took a couple more weeks and he became pain free and now back to the same sports routine he had before Osgood. He continues to do the week seven of the program. We are so happy to see his confidence back. Thank you Core Advantage for this great program and your team has been wonderful in answering the queries I had at the start of the program.

The best investment in myself as an athlete I have ever made! As an older amateur (early 30s) I came to Core Advantage after lockdowns had finally subsided in mid 2022. I had been doing S&C.gym work on and off for a good 6-7 years and generally was struggling with managing load of training getting back into sport after a few years without it and continuing to pick up niggles/minor injuries. I wanted to have a program set for me that I could trust and stick to knowing I was doing enough in the gym and could come in get to work and leave without worrying I was doing too little. I set my goals with Pat on my first visit to be healthier more consistent with training and build my jumping load capacity as I continued to pursue better on court performance. After just over a year of consistent training all I can say is the results were far more than I expected! Im far stronger than I have ever been more confident in my body's ability to manage load and I've seen athletic improvements I wasn't expecting. Even though my goal was to increase capacity I was able to increase my vertical by 11cm back to where it was when I was in my late teens/early 20s and have two of my best volleyball seasons yet! From the consistent programming by the team at Core Advantage and consistently showing up and putting in the work I was really able to reap the rewards of the effort and that's been worth every dollar! A huge thanks to the team at Core Advantage (Pat Riley Durham and many more) for their help and effort! Every single one of the coaches and support staff are legends and happy help with technique go on a deep dive in S&C ideas or just have a chat and are always interested in how you're going outside of your sport/gym. The facility is top notch. Awesome Ironedge equipment (probably the best trap bar I've ever used) 30m track for plyos and sprints is the best thing to have in an athletic performance gym and I wish it was standard in all gyms ever! Even though I still picked up some little injuries in the volleyball season the in-house physios are EXCELLENT and had me back on court in no time and I was still confident to keep lifting and moving whereas I never would've been before coming here. Don't think twice. If you're ready to invest in your own development as an athlete the investment is more than worth it. Give Core Advantage a call!'

Consulted Jerome Lugo for a pretty severe toe injury. He professionally monitored my rehab closely and helped me return to sport safely. With a sports rehab focus Core Advantage played a massive role in my return to high level sport.

Feeling better but still have some pain after hockey

By the end of week 2 pain had decreased dramatically and the run/limp movement had started to improve. By Week 4 he was moving smoothly again and after week 6 he was back to normal - no pain!!

I have found the program pay particular attention to the needs of the junior athlete while further enhancing my education as a coach.. highly recommend 👌

My 13 year old completed the program and is on his 3rd week of doing the week 7 maintenance. This program is effective in keeping his pain very low (1-2) and helping him continue to play hockey and football without any issues. He did the program exactly as prescribed and religiously rolls every day. It has become part of his weekly routine. I have recommended this to his friends and are so glad we found it. It has cost us a fraction of the time and money it would have required to see a physio in person. We can easily fit it into his busy schedule. Thank you for making this program accessible to all!

Love this place

We are half way through the sixth week of the program. The results have been nothing short of incredible. After the first week of rolling the pain had diminished from 7 and 8s all the way down to 2 and 3's Make no mistake this first week is brutal on the child and parent but with preserverence came results. We will be continuing on with the Unstoppable. He has returned to full sport training with more confidence then before. Simply because his results came from his work. Thank you for this.'
