Reviews for the Core Advantage Osgood Schlatter & Severs Programs

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

The training were painful at the start but we persevered in weeks 3 the stretches were to painful but we introduced it gradually and by the end of week 4 pain disappeared completely and now life is back to Normal. Just follow the training religiously and result guaranteed. So glad I found this program for my 12 year old .

Great people and program. Didn’t solve my pain because I think I had a different injury or problem, but the program looked awesome and well designed. If I actually had osgoods pain I believe this would have helped.

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 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.
