Reviews for the Core Advantage Osgood Schlatter & Severs Programs

The rolling exercises and program was excellent. I was able to treat my knee and control the pain while maintaining the majority of my on ice hockey training. An excellent age appropriate program for young athletes.

My only regret is that we didnt find this program sooner. Unfortunately we followed our doctor's advice at first to rest and ice which only made things worse. My son was in excrutiating pain when walking and had stopped playing soccer. A week into the program and his pain had significantly subsided. We're finishing week 6 my son is back on the pitch and ramping up slowly and for the first time in months we are hopeful that he'll be able to get back to his intense training schedule and competitions. The program is easy to follow with instructional videos. Don't wait if your kiddo is suffering with knee pain start this program today!!'

I am amazed at how well this program works. I am skeptical of quick fixes for physical limitations but my son is on week 5 and is back on the soccer pitch without pain. He works hard at it but the results are so great that he wants to put in the time. I am so relieved that he has learned how to control his pain and can enjoy his sport.

this program is really amazing. after months of uncertainty and pain osgood was completely gone in just 10 days. of course you have to work diligently every day but the work is really worth it. highly recommended

Great coaches had great progress

My 13 year old daughter is a middle distance runner but had developed very sore knees and wasnt able to run 50 metres without intense pain. Her dream of competing at the State Championships was in tatters in March this year. On advice from the first aid people at the Championships she started the Core Advantage Osgood program. She was very strict with the program and followed it exactly as prescribed and continues to do so all the time. And wow! She has had such an amazing change and is now so much better. She got back to competition and has won/done very well in many different races. The ultimate proof is that four months after starting the program she has just been selected for the State team to go to the Australian cross country championships. Her dream is back on track thanks to Core Advantage.'

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!

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

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.
