Severs Disease Program
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.”

Severs Disease Program
The Severs program did the trick for my 12 year old. Before starting it he was in pain most days and would have to stop playing part way through matches and hobbled away at the end of training. Now hes pain free and knows what to do to prevent it returning. Having scoured the Internet this is the only thing I've come across that's actually made a difference. It's worth mentioning that the program was hard in the first couple of weeks because my son was having to roll out tight muscles which was painful. I'm so glad he pushed through and is now pain free and able to manage his Severs. The program not only has the exercises you need to do but also other tips and info on managing training loads etc. Highly recommended.'
Frequently asked questions
How effective is this program for Sever's Disease?
Incredibly effective. The success rate for young athletes with Sever's Disease who follow this program is over 98%.
Most children experience significant pain reduction within the first week, with many returning to sport pain-free before the end of the 7-week program.
The program addresses both the symptoms and underlying causes of Sever's Disease — tight calf muscles, weak foot structures, and load management imbalances — which is why the results last, even as your child continues to grow.
It's important to note that while the program isn't hard, it does require consistency. This isn't a magical pill, but a specific exercise routine requiring just a few minutes most days of the week.
How much does it cost?
The program is available for a single upfront payment of $95 USD.
Unlike traditional physical therapy which requires months of expensive weekly appointments, our program delivers comprehensive rehabilitation guidance for a single payment — giving you a complete, cost-effective solution for managing Sever's Disease from home.
If your child is struggling with both Sever's Disease and Osgood Schlatter, we offer a discount code for the second program.
Can my child play sport while doing the Sever's program?
In most cases, yes.
We encourage most athletes to continue with at least some of their sport during the program, however each case is unique and a short period of reduced activity may be required for some children.
As a starting point, we recommend reducing training volume by 20-30% for the first two weeks to let the heels calm down while the strengthening work takes effect. From week three onwards, most athletes can gradually return to normal activity levels.
The program includes detailed guidance for managing sporting loads and a structured return-to-sport plan to reduce the risk of setbacks.
What age is this Sever's Disease program suitable for?
The program is designed for children and teenagers aged 8-15, which is the peak age range for Sever's Disease.
All exercises are age-appropriate, safe for growing athletes, and can be completed independently by most children with minimal parent supervision.
The program works for both new cases and children who have been struggling with heel pain for months or longer.
Do orthotics or heel cups help with Sever's Disease?
They can provide short-term relief and work well alongside the program.
Unlike Osgood Schlatter (where footwear makes little difference), heel wedges and orthotics can be genuinely helpful for Sever's Disease by reducing strain on the Achilles tendon and growth plate.
However, orthotics alone don't address the underlying causes — tight calves, weak foot muscles, and poor load management. Our program builds the strength and flexibility needed for lasting results, so your child isn't dependent on inserts forever.
If you already use orthotics and find them helpful, continue using them during the program.
What equipment do I need for the Sever's program?
Just a foam roller and some floor space.
The program is designed to be completed entirely at home in under 15 minutes per day. No gym membership or expensive equipment required.
We recommend a smooth foam roller (not one with spikes) that is at least 30cm long. Softer rollers are better for younger athletes starting out. The rest of the program can be completed with common household items.
Is foam rolling painful for children with Sever's Disease?
The first few sessions can be uncomfortable as tight muscles get used to the pressure, but this improves rapidly — usually within the first week.
Starting with a soft, smooth roller makes a big difference. The discomfort your child feels during rolling is directly related to the muscle tightness contributing to their heel pain, so it's actually a sign the rolling is targeting the right areas.
Most children find rolling becomes tolerable (and even enjoyable) within a few days of consistent practice.
Should I use ice for my child's Sever's Disease heel pain?
Avoid if possible.
Ice is no longer recommended for treating overuse injuries like Sever's Disease. While it can temporarily reduce pain, it doesn't help the healing process and may actually slow recovery.
Most families find ice unnecessary once they start the program, as the exercises provide more effective and lasting pain relief.
What if this program doesn't work for my child?
We offer a 100% money-back guarantee.
If by the end of the seven weeks your child does not see any improvement in their heel pain, we will refund the full cost of the program.
We've never seen this program fail when followed consistently. Some children respond faster than others, but the general trend is always improvement. You have lifetime access, so there's no rush — your child can progress at their own pace.
What's the difference between Sever's Disease and Osgood Schlatter?
Both are growth-related overuse injuries common in active children, but they affect different areas:
Sever's Disease causes pain in the heel, where the Achilles tendon attaches to the growing heel bone. It typically affects children aged 8-14.
Osgood Schlatter causes pain just below the knee, where the patellar tendon attaches to the shinbone. It typically affects children aged 10-16.
Some children develop both conditions. If your child has heel pain and knee pain, we recommend starting with whichever is more severe, and offer a discount on the second program.
