About
About us and how we came to be.
In 1991 the founder of Institute of Sports and Spines was establishing a career path as a professional triathlete.

What about our logo?
The picture itself tells the story – you could remove the words and still understand the essence of our company. Our focus is the body/spine with an emphasis on movement. It has a subtle global perspective.
The figure is moving forward – toward the positive; the athlete is in motion, signifying the dynamic nature of our clinic and our team. They are training, are fit yet relaxed in their movement. When you look at the logo, the eyes instantly fall on the outline of the spine and the sporting figure. There is a stylised roundness to the logo has no corners – there are no traps. The appearance of the ball on the reflective surface is to encompass the 3 dimensional elements of our approach, we are not one dimension.
About our Colours
Colours are often defined with meaning. They make us feel or think a certain way. Colours and logos impact what we think about a company or organisation.
The colours of our logo are very important to us and underpin the values and drive of our organisation.
Firstly White. The colour of purity, it is honest, transparent, precision, simplicity, cleanliness. Of new birth and new beginnings.
Secondly Blue. Signifies; wisdom, protection, depth, expertise, stability, credibility, peace, care and mental relaxation. It pacifies the nervous system and speaks of inspiration. It signifies the professional nature of our clinic and team.
Thirdly Orange. exudes; warmth, energy, strength, enthusiasm, vitality and self-assurance. It strengthens our concentration and indicates our creativity and warmth of our desire to help.
Cerise is fascinating – it is the colour of the flower of the Amaranth bush. it is a flower that is believed to grow on Mount Olympus and never dies or wastes away. The colour is of knowledge, self assurance, influence and transformation. We will not waiver in our quest to help you find a solution.
Lastly Black. It is for protection, it is finite, definite, powerful and sophisticated. We are solid we are definite.
Above all, the colours are about harmony. Most importantly, they work together to complete the picture.
Our Sustainable Initiatives
In addition to our treatment and clinic environment. We also care about the environment we live and work in.
Through the development of our new clinic, we have implemented sustainable initiatives to minimise our environmental footprint.
Our clinic runs solely on filtered rain water. Meaning we don’t waste water or use mains water.
We are moving towards carbon neutral solar energy this year. Therefore producing energy when we use and need it most.
Additionally our clinic is largely paperless and we use natural products rather than harsh chemicals in our cleaning procedures, where possible.
The desks in our treatment rooms and in the reception area at the clinic have been ethically constructed by Don. Using mainly repurposed Camphor Laurel, which otherwise is considered a weed that is detrimental to natural ecosystems.
Our grounds now have an abundance of plant life, and a thriving, organic veggie garden.
We also compost our kitchen and green waste and recycle more than 90% of our materials.
Above all, we endeavour to deliver our health services responsibly, and without harm to the environment.
