Formerly known as the Aspen Back Institute, Aspen Back and Body is an exclusive, non-surgical, holistic back centre based at the distinguished St. Regis Hotel in Aspen, Colorado. It is a 'destination' clinic, offering 1- to 3-week visits, with a unique solution to the growing back pain epidemic.

A diverse group of specialist practitioners offers unparalleled care and dedication to clients who travel from around the world to receive treatment. Greatly improving quality of life and 'exceeding expectations' are the distinguishing aspects of ABB's approach.

Aspen Back and Body is a credible, revolutionary combination of the most effective, non-surgical treatments available for back pain today. It consists of state-of-the-art-equipment and highly skilled therapists who focus primarily on the treatment of spinal conditions. The company is unique in its focus on Body, Mind and Spirit (also the Aspen ideal).

The 'Body' component of the program includes intensive, personalized daily treatments of exercise, therapy, stretching etc. The 'Mental' and 'Spiritual' components include lectures, reading, and relaxation exercises and a new therapy known as Prannassage- guaranteed to relieve stress and tension. Clients stay at the hotel and are able to receive treatments from Aspen Back and Body and the Remede Spa while their families enjoy the Aspen activities.

A back specialist will design the 1 or 3 week program for the individual deciding how the client will most benefit from their daily treatments, exercise routines and education sessions. They will regularly monitor the client being treated and ensure client satisfaction. On the last day of treatment, they will have a follow-up consultation with the client to discuss progress and how to maintain it. The client will leave with a specific home program to continue the improvements.

Meet Our Founder

Clint Phillips
Founder of Aspen Back and Body

• Massage therapist, acupuncturist, and doctor of chiropractic (University of Johannesburg, South Africa).
• Designated as Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) by the National Sports Conditioning Association.
• Developed the DVD series "Heal The Back" and the IdealStretch device for at-home stretching
• Played semi-professional rugby in South Africa and the United States

Clint's practice started humbly, caring for two clients in a converted boiler room. He then moved to a little home office, and was amazed as distinguished clients who traveled the world to see the best doctors started to come to his modest practice.

One day, a gentleman named Barry Sternlicht, who had founded Starwood hotels, liked the idea of Clint's vision and gave him the amazing opportunity to open in the luxurious St. Regis Resort, Aspen. Clint's vision was to create a 5-star destination where clients could travel to receive the best care, the best equipment and to find the relief they had been looking for.
