📘 What Is This Program About?
🧍♂️ Who Benefits?
- Youth experiencing growing pains
- Young athletes wanting to boost performance safely
- Kids recovering from sports-related injuries
- Children prone to knee or heel pain during activity
⚠️ Osgood-Schlatter Disease
This is a common condition among active children, particularly those involved in running, jumping, and sports that require quick directional changes. It affects the tibial tuberosity (the bony bump just below the knee), where the patellar tendon attaches. As the child grows, repetitive stress from physical activity can lead to inflammation and pain in this area.
✅ Our training incorporates knee stabilization, quad/hamstring balancing, and progressive loading to reduce pain and avoid flare-ups.
⚠️ Sever’s Disease (Calcaneal Apophysitis)
Often seen in young athletes between 8–14 years old, Sever’s Disease causes heel pain due to inflammation of the growth plate in the heel. It typically arises from overuse, poor footwear, or tight calf muscles during a growth spurt.
✅ Our sessions focus on proper foot mechanics, strengthening of the calves and ankles, and flexibility exercises to minimize pressure on the growth plate.
- Improved strength, agility & balance
- Injury prevention strategies tailored for growing bodies
- Safe mechanics for sports-specific movements
- Relief from knee and heel pain
- Boost in overall confidence and performance

What age group is this program for?
This program is specifically designed for children ages 9 to 15, during their critical growth years when performance training and injury prevention are most effective.
Does my child need to be currently injured to join?
Not at all! This program is ideal for both healthy athletes and those experiencing early signs of pain like knee discomfort (Osgood-Schlatter) or heel pain (Sever’s Disease). We tailor the intensity and focus based on your child’s needs.
What sports is this program best suited for?
Our training supports athletes in soccer, basketball, track, baseball, gymnastics, football, and more. The exercises focus on foundational movement, agility, and strength that apply across all sports.
How do the bulk discounts work?
We offer discounts if you enroll your child in multiple sessions upfront. For example, if you book 10+ sessions, you’ll receive a 10% discount. Ask us about custom packages when registering.
What should my child bring to each session?
Your child should wear comfortable athletic clothes, closed-toe training shoes, and bring a water bottle. We provide all necessary equipment.
Will I get progress updates about my child’s performance?
Absolutely! Our team provides ongoing feedback, and you’ll receive a progress summary at the end of the program. We’re also available for check-ins anytime during the training period.
Whether your child is already struggling with knee or heel pain, or you simply want them to stay strong and injury-free during the sports season — this program is for you.
