EXISTING ZONING: Lodge/Tourist Residential with a PUD Overlay. • LAND USE. PUD Amendment and subsequent administrative GMQS exemption for REQUESTS: an accessory use in a mixed used development. • • STAFF • Staff recommends that the Planning and Zoning Commission approve . RECOMMENDATION: the proposed request,with conditions. • • SUMMARY OF REQUEST: • The Applicant, Aspen Back Institute, Inc, represented by Alan Richman Planning • Services, is requesting the appropriate land use approvals to convert the space that was • previously occupied by Whiskey Rocks Lounge into a back injury treatment facility/spa area. LAND USE ACTIONS REQUESTED AND REVIEW PROCEDURE: The Applicant is requesting the following land use actions: . • • PUD Amendment • Administrative GMQS exemption for accessory uses in a`mixed use development Pursuant to Land Use Code Section 26.445, Planned Unit Development, the Planning and Zoning Commission shall approve, approve with conditions, or deny a request:for a PUD .• amendment after considering a recommendation from the Community Development - .Director, Aspen/Pitkin County Housing Authority, and after taking public comments. . The Planning and Zoning Commission is the final review authority on PUD amendments considered-generally consistent with the original approval, but which do not qualify for - administrative review. If the Planning and Zoning Commission denies the PUD - - 1 - • Amendment request, the Applicant has the ability to appeal the Planning and Zoning Commission's decision to City Council. • • 'BACKGROUND: The St. Regis Hotel received PUD/timeshare,approval to convert some of their hotel units into timeshare units and to convert 15,300 square feet of the hotel into a spa area pursuant to City Council Ordinance No. 25, Series of 2003 (attached as Exhibit "D").. The Applicant now wishes to convert the space that previously contained the Whiskey Rocks Lounge, consisting of 2,717 square feet, to a back injury treatment facility/spa. • DISCUSSION ISSUES AND STAFF ANALYSIS: APPROPRIATENESS OF PROPOSED USE: Staff believes that the proposed use of "back injury treatment facility" is similar in definition to that of a spa and many spas contain back injury treatment facilities within them. Staff feels that the proposed use is compatible with the spa use that was approved pursuant to Ordinance No. 25, Series of 2003. Staff is concerned about losing another bar/lounge facility that accommodated visitors and locals alike, given the recent losses of the Double Diamond and other nightlife spots that have existed in Aspen. However, Staff does believe that the community benefit that will be derived from the proposed amendment exceeds the loss of the lounge facility in the St. Regis. The back treatment facility/spa area will provide greater occupancy for the hotel in the off-season because it is proposed to be a destination.facility, which likely translates to more guests in town to support our local businesses. EMPLOYEE GENERATION: • In approving the timeshare and spa operations, a condition of approval was included that required that the St. Regis conduct an employee audit after one year of operations in the remodeled hotel. As a result of the condition requiring an employee audit, the owners of the St. Regis are required to mitigate for any employees that are above their employee projections that were approved and mitigated for in Ordinance No. 25. Therefore, the Applicant believes that any increases in employee generation that result from the change to the former Whiskey Rocks space will be identified and mitigated for as a result of the audit condition in Ordinance No. 25. • Staff agrees that any increases in employee generation would likely be identified in the employee audit and the St. Regis would have to mitigate for any increase in employee numbers at that time. Staff also feels that the lounge use is typically more employee intensive than the spa use. Thus, Staff and the Housing Authority are comfortable with allowing for the employee audit on the hotel in it's entirety as a method of determining if there have been an increase in the hotel's overall employee numbers. ONSITE PARKING: The Applicant has argued that the proposed back injury treatment facility will actually have less demand for off-street parking than the prior lounge use of the space since the • back treatment facility is primarily geared towards guests that are already staying at the hotel and occupying off-street parking in the hotel's parking garage. Staff feels that the Applicant's argument related to the demand for parking is logical. The back treatment - 2 - • facility will require less demand for off-street parking than the previous lounge use that • attracted both visitors and locals,that were not already occupying a parking space in the hotel's parking garage since they were not staying at the hotel. REFERRAL AGENCY ISSUES: The proposed application was referred to the Environmental Health Department, Building Department, and Aspen/Pitkin County Housing Authority for comments on technical issues. Comments from the referral agencies have been incorporated into the proposed conditions of approval as appropriate. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff believes that the proposal is in compliance with the PUD amendment review standards and is consistent with the goals of the Aspen Area Community Plan relating to economic sustainability. Specifically,. Staff feels that the proposal aids in the stated community objective of strengthening the community's economy without getting bigger, • in that the application is requesting'to utilize currently underutilized existing space for a profitable use that should have a positive economic ripple affect throughout the community's businesses. Additionally, the proposed use promotes the Aspen Idea of "mind, body, and spirit". Staff supports the proposed PUD amendment request. .

The Applicant wants to convert the Whiskey Rocks space in the St. Regis to a back injury treatment facility/spa area. We were thinking that because a housing audit is required oi,the entire hotel as part of their timeshare approvals (one year after CO), the employee generation analysis for this - request would be wrapped into the housing audit. • If the entire hotel shows an increase from the mitigation provided for the original PUD, they have to mitigate at that time. Please let me know'what you think? Thanks, - James Lindt 1 ASPEN BACK INSTITUTE APPLICATION FOR PUD AMENDMENT AND GROWTH MANAGEMENT EXEMPTION ' SUBMITTED BY ALAN RICHMAN PLANNING SERVICES ' BOX 3613 ASPEN, COLORADO 81612 • 920-1125 ■ DECEMBER, 2004 1 1 This is an application to amend the PUD Amendment recently granted for the St. Regis Hotel. The PUD Amendment was granted by the Aspen City Council pursuant to Ordinance No. 25, Series of ' 2003 (attached hereto as Exhibit #1). The St. Regis Hotel is located at 315 Dean Street and is zoned LTR/PUD. The purpose of this proposed PUD Amendment is to allow a portion of the space formerly known as the Whiskey Rocks Lounge to be converted into a spa area, where.back injuries would be treated. As part of the 2003 PUD Amendment, the City authorized the conversion of up to.15,300 sq. ft. of space ' on the Ballroom Level of the hotel into a spa area. In doing so, the City determined that a spa is an accessory use to a hotel, which is the principal use of the property. Therefore, this proposal would be an extension of this approval, by converting an existing accessory use (bar/lounge) to a different ' accessory use(spa). This application is being submitted by Aspen Back Institute, Inc. (hereinafter, "the applicant") which would lease the space from the owner of the property. The owner of the property is SLT Aspen Dean Street, LLC. Proof of the ownership of the property is provided by Exhibit #2, the commitment for title insurance. A letter from the owner authorizing Aspen Back Institute, Inc. to submit this application is attached as Exhibit #3. Authorization for Alan Richman Planning Services to represent Aspen Back Institute, Inc. is provided by Exhibit#4. The applicant has held several pre-application meetings with staff of the Community Development Department over the last several months. Following these meetings, staff issued a Pre-Application Conference Summary, which is attached as Exhibit#5. This summary states that the application will be ' processed as a PUD Amendment that is subject to review by the Aspen Planning and Zoning Commission. It also states that following review of the PUD Amendment, the Community Development Director will review the application to grant a GMQS exemption to the property. According to the Summary, this proposal qualifies as "remodeling or reconstruction of an existing lodge building which does not create additional hotel units or involve a change in use" and is therefore Iexempt from GMQS. The next section of this application identifies the applicable standards of the Aspen Land Use ' Regulations for the PUD Amendment and provides a response to each of these standards. First, however, a description is provided of the Aspen Back Institute and how it plans to operate out of this location. ' The Aspen.Back Institute U Attached as Exhibit#6 is an executive summary of how the Aspen Back Institute(ABI)would propose to operate at the St. Regis Hotel. Following are the major elements of this proposed accessory use: i 1. The Aspen Back Institute will be a destination spa for the treatment of spinal conditions. Clients will stay in accommodations at the Hotel and will receive daily treatments at the Institute and will also utilize the Hotel's spa facilities. 1 t 1 2. It is anticipated that approximately 20-25 patients will be treated at the Institute on a daily basis (6 days per week). Of these, approximately 75% of all of the patients are expected to be destination guests, staying at the Hotel. During the off-season (April/May and October/November) virtually 100% of the patients will be destination guests. During the remainder of the year approximately 70% of the patients will be destination guests who stay at the Hotel, while the other 30% of the patients (6-8 persons per day) are likely to be persons 1 who live in Aspen part time or full time. The applicant's lease agreement with the Hotel provides economic incentives for the applicant to meet or exceed these targets. Patients staying at the Hotel will receive priority for appointments at the Institute over those who are not staying at the Hotel. 3. Destination guests will be entered into a three week program that is similar to the Canyon 1 Ranch Destination Spa (see description of Canyon Ranch attached to Exhibit #6). The program will follow a non-medical, holistic, therapeutic approach that addresses the body, mind, and spirit. The body component will include daily treatments of exercise, massage, electrotherapy, stretching, and similar activities. The mental and spiritual aspects will include lectures, reading, and related exercises. 4. The existing floor plan of this space and the proposed floor plan for the Back Institute are shown on the following pages. The proposed floor plan illustrates that the existing space will be remodeled into two primary areas. Upon entry, the participant will see a large central area, devoted to exercise machines and a floor exercise space. Around the perimeter of the facility will be a series of seven small treatment rooms, where participants will receive massage and other forms of back therapy. 5. When the facility begins operating, there are planned to be 3 full time and 2 part time employees. These include the owner of the business and two physical therapists (one of whom is the owner's wife), a part time trainer, and a part time orthopedic doctor. Long term, it is anticipated that the business may grow to where it would have a total of six full time employees. If the City has any concerns about the level of employment planned for this use, we would point out that Condition#3 of Ordinance 25, Series of 2003, requires an audit to be performed 1 year after the initial occupancy of the remodeled Hotel. This audit will provide the City with the opportunity to evaluate the overall employment at the Hotel, including the Aspen Back , Institute. Condition #4 of that Ordinance then ensures that if there is an increase in employment at the Hotel from that mitigated in the original PUD approval, the owner of the property will be responsible for providing additional affordable housing based at the same level ' as represented in the original PUD. These conditions should provide all of the assurances the City requires regarding affordable housing generation and mitigation for this proposal. 2 I . . . . • .- _ -.. ____._._..- . . .. . _•• __•______ _ .• • t 1 II a 7,. 1111 Si T 3 f if cm um 0 1 i e Eli � � { I r4.

Sub-section A. provides a set of threshold standards for approval of an insubstantial amendment by the Community Development Director. Since this proposal only requires an internal modification of existing space, it clearly does not trigger any of these thresholds, which address issues such as increased site coverage, reduction in open space on the site, and increases in gross floor area. The only standard which requires any discussion is#9,which reads as follows: ' 9. Any change which is inconsistent with a condition or representation of the project's original approval or which requires granting a variation from the project's approved use or dimensional requirements. It is the applicant's position that the proposal to use this space for a spa,which is accessory to the hotel 111 use, is not inconsistent with any condition or representation of the prior approval. The applicant is not aware of any representation that would have required this space to continue to be used as a bar, nor was any condition established that limited its use. In fact, to the best of our knowledge, the bar never reven received a distinct review by the City. Therefore, since the City has determined that a spa is an accessory use to the hotel and since the City agrees that this proposed use is a spa, we would ask the City to reconsider its decision to subject this application to the full PUD Amendment process and rinstead review this application as an Insubstantial PUD Amendment. If the City determines that.this proposal cannot be authorized as an insubstantial amendment, then our ' response to sub-section B. follows below. However, a review of our responses to the standards for a full PUD Amendment illustrates that the proposed change involved in this application is not the type ' that should require full PUD review. This change does not alter the approved site plan or architecture, nor does it require the provision of additional parking or public facilities. Therefore, we do not believe there is anything to be gained through review of this application via the public hearing process. rThe sole standard for the review of a PUD amendment under sub-section B. is that it must be shown to be "consistent with or an enhancement of the approved final development plan". It has been the ' practice of the City that to make such a finding, a PUD Amendment must comply with all of the criteria applied to a full PUD. Therefore, following is a response to these standards, most of which are not applicable to this proposed minor change to the interior of the Hotel. rA. General Requirements. The proposed development shall be consistent with the Aspen Area Community Plan. Response: The City found the 2003 amendments to be consistent with this standard and we believe this should also be the case for this amendment. The finding in the staff memo was that the proposal for timesharing and for the planned hotel spa "will make the project more attractive,to visitors" and thereby help to sustain the local economy. 5 1 I The reason the Aspen Back Institute is attractive to the operators of the Hotel is that it will be an amenity for the Hotel and will help to draw additional visitation to the St. Regis, particularly during the off-season. The applicant has been conducting research on spa facilities and has found that an increasing number of these operations are placing an emphasis on health and wellness as part of their offerings to guests. Where spas may have originally started by catering primarily to customers seeking facial treatments or massages, nowadays more spas are offering programs addressing healthy lifestyles, diet, exercise, and educational programs. Clearly, the leader in this field is the Canyon Ranch, where guests stay in on-site accommodations and participate in a full range of health and wellness programs. 111 The Aspen Back Institute intends to model its program on the Canyon Ranch experience. Canyon Ranch has found that people are willing to organize a vacation around a health and wellness program, provided the program is located in an attractive resort setting and is part of a high quality hotel. Aspen represents precisely the type of healthy mountain community that could attract such destination visitors and the new spa at the St. Regis Hotel provides an ideal setting for this type of program. 2. The proposed development shall be consistent with the character of existing land uses in the surrounding area. 1 3. The proposed development shall not adversely affect the future development of the surrounding area. I Response: This development will be consistent with the character of existing land uses and will not have a negative affect on the future development of the surrounding area. The proposed use of this 111 space will be accessory to the Hotel. The Hotel has previously been determined to be an appropriate and compatible use in this location. This proposal will also complement the previously-approved spa by providing clients services that are not offered at the Hotel's spa. It will not draw significant day traffic to the Hotel, but will instead help to fill up the rooms at the Hotel with destination guests. 4. The proposed development has either been granted GMQS allotments, is exempt from GMQS, I or GMQS allotments are available to accommodate the proposed development and will be considered prior to, or in combination with,final development plan review. Response: Staff has determined that the proposed remodeling activity is exempt from GMQS. Establishment of Dimensional Requirements: The final PUD development plan shall 1 establish the dimensional requirements for all properties within the PUD, as described in General Provisions, Section 26.445.040, above. The dimensional requirements of the underlying zone district shall be used as a guide in determining the appropriate dimensions for the PUD. During the review of the proposed dimensional requirements, compatibility with surrounding land uses and existing development patterns shall be emphasized The proposed development requirements shall comply with the following: 1. The proposed dimensional requirements for the subject property are appropriate and compatible with the following influences on the property: 6 1 I a. The character of and compatibility with, existing and expected future land uses in the surrounding area. Ib. Natural or man-made hazards. Ic. Existing natural characteristics of the property and surrounding area, such as steep slopes, waterways, shade, and significant vegetation and landforms Id Existing and proposed man-made characteristics of the property and the surrounding area, such as noise, traffic, transit,pedestrian circulation,parking, and historical resources. IResponse:No change to the project's approved dimensional requirements is proposed. 2. The proposed dimensional requirements permit a scale, massing, and quantity of open space Iand site coverage appropriate and favorable to the character of the proposed PUD and of the surrounding areas. IResponse: No changes are proposed to the scale and massing of the structures on the property, nor to the quantity of open space that is present. I3. The appropriate number of off-street parking spaces shall be established based on the follow- ing considerations: Ia. The probable number of cars used by those using the proposed development, including any non-residential land uses. 1 b. The varying time periods of use, when joint use of common parking is proposed Ic. The availability of public transit and other transportation facilities, including those for pedestrian access and/or the commitment to utilize automobile disincentive techniques in the proposed development. Id The proximio, of the proposed development to the commercial core and general activity centers in the City. IResponse: No change to the number of parking spaces is proposed, since this will be an accessory use that will serve primarily hotel guests. As compared to the prior use of this space as a bar/lounge, which I attracted people from throughout the community, this use should result in a net reduction in demand for parking. It is also important to note that over the years it has operated, the hotel has generally had more parking spaces available than have been needed, so if any parking demand is generated by this Iuse, it should be easily accommodated on-site. 4. The maximum density within a PUD may be reduced if there exists insufficient infrastructure Icapabilities. Specifically, the maximum density of a PUD may be reduced if: i I 1 1 a. There is not sufficient water pressure, drainage capabilities, or other utilities to service the proposed development. 1 b. There are not adequate roads to ensure fire protection, snow removal, and road maintenance to the proposed development. , Response: The applicant is not proposing any change to the PUD's approved density. 5. The maximum allowable density within a PUD may be reduced i there exists natural hazards tJ' aY .f or critical natural site features. Specifically, the maximum density may be reduced if: a. The land is not suitable or the he proposed development because of ground instability or the possibility of mud flow, rock falls, and avalanche dangers. b. The effects of the proposed development are detrimental to the natural watershed due to runoff, drainage, soil erosion and consequent water pollution. c. The proposed development will have a pernicious effect on air quality in the surrounding area and the City. I d The design and location of any proposed structure, road, driveway, or trail in the proposed development is not compatible with the terrain or causes disturbance to critical natural features of the site. Response: There are no natural hazards or critical natural site features that should cause the density of the PUD to be reduced. 6. The maximum density within a PUD may be increased if there exists a significant community I goal to be achieved through such increase and the development pattern is compatible with surrounding development patterns and with the site's physical constraints. Specifically, the maximum density of a PUD may be increased if , a. The increase in density serves one or more goals of the community, as expressed in the Aspen Area Community Plan (AACP) or a specific area plan to which the property is subject. b. The site's physical capabilities can accommodate additional density and there exists I no negative physical characteristics of the site, as identified in subparagraphs 4 and 5 above, those areas can be avoided or those characteristics mitigated c. The increase in maximum density results ty esults in a development pattern compatible with, and complimentary to, the surrounding existing and expected development pattern, land uses, and characteristics. 8 1 I i Response: The applicant does not propose to increase the project's density. ' C Site Design. The purpose of this standard is to ensure the PUD enhances blic spaces, is Pu � complimentary to the site's natural and man-made features and the adjacent public spaces, and ' ensures the public's health and safety. The proposed development shall comply with the following: 1. Existing natural or man-made features of the site which are unique,provide visual interest or ' a specific reference to the past, or contribute to the identity of the town are preserved or enhanced in an appropriate manner. Response: There are no natural features that will be affected by the proposed development. All construction will be limited to a single space within the existing building. 2. Structures have been clustered to appropriately preserve significant open spaces and vistas. Response: Not applicable. 3. Structures are appropriately oriented to public streets, contribute to the urban or rural ' context where appropriate, and provide visual interest and engagement of vehicular and pedestrian movement. Response: Not applicable. 4. Buildings and access ways are appropriately arranged to allow emergency and service ' vehicle access. Response: Not applicable. 5. Adequate pedestrian and handicapped access is provided ' Response: Not applicable. 6. Site drainage is accommodated for the proposed development in a practical and reasonable manner and shall not negatively impact surrounding properties. Response: Not applicable. ' 7. For non-residential land uses, spaces between buildin g s are appropriately designed to accommodate any programmatic functions associated with the use. Response: There are no changes planned to the spaces between the buildings. D. Landscape Plan. The purpose of this standard is to ensure the compatibility of the proposed 9 i 1 t landscape with the visual character of the City, with surrounding parcels, and with existing and proposed features of the subject property. The development plan shall comply with the following: 1. The landscape plan exhibits a well designed treatment of exterior spaces, preserves existing , significant vegetation, and provides an ample quantity and variety of ornamental plant species suitable for the Aspen area climate. ' 2. Signcant existing natural and man-made site features, which provide uniqueness and interest in the landscape, are preserved or enhanced in an appropriate manner. 3. The proposed method of protecting existing vegetation and other landscape features is appropriate. Response: No are changes planned to the landscaping. E. Architectural Character. It is the purpose of this standard to encourage architectural interest, variety, character, and visual identity in the proposed development and within the City while promoting efficient use of resources. Architectural character is based upon the suitability of a building for its purposes, legibility of the building's use, the building's proposed massing,proportion, scale, orientation to public spaces and other buildings, use of materials, and other attributes which may significantly represent the character of the proposed development. There shall be approved as part of the final development plan an architectural character plan which adequately depicts the character of the proposed development. The proposed architecture of the development shall: , 1. Be compatible with or enhance the visual character of the city, appropriately relate to existing and proposed architecture of the property, represent a character suitable for, and indicative , of the intended use, and respect the scale and massing of nearby historical and cultural resources. Response: There are no changes planned to the architecture of the building. 2. Incorporate, to the extent practical, natural heating and cooling by taking advantage of the property's solar access, shade, and vegetation and by use of non-or-less intensive mechanical systems. Response: Not applicable. 3. Accommodate the storage and shedding of snow, ice, and water in a safe and appropriate , manner that does not require significant maintenance. Response: Not applicable. P pp F. Lighting. The purpose of this standard is to ensure the exterior of the development will be lighted in an appropriate manner, considering both public safety and general aesthetic concerns. The 10 I I I Ifollowing standards shall be accomplished:• 1. All lighting is proposed so as to prevent direct glare or hazardous interference of any kind to adjoining streets or lands. Lighting of site features, structures, and access ways is proposed in an appropriate manner. I2. All exterior lighting shall be in compliance with the Outdoor Lighting Standards, unless otherwise approved and noted in the final PUD documents.

Security gates, guard posts, or other entryway expressions for the PUD, or for lots within the PUD, are minimized to the extent practical. Response: No gates or other entryway expressions are planned as part of this project. ' 12 1 1 i J. Phasing of Development Plan. The purpose of this criteria is to ensure partially completed projects do not create an unnecessary burden on the public or surrounding property owners and impacts of an individual phase are mitigated adequately. If phasing of the development plan is proposed each phase shall be defined in the adopted final PUD development plan. The phasing plan shall comply with the following: 1. All phases, including the initial phase, shall be designed to function as a complete Idevelopment and shall not be reliant on subsequent phases. 2. The phasing plan describes physical areas insulating, to the extent practical, occupants of ' initial phases from the construction of later phases. 3. The proposed phasing plan ensures the necessary or proportionate improvements to public facilities, payment of impact fees and fees-in-lieu, construction of any facilities to be used jointly by residents of the PUD, construction of any required affordable housing, and any mitigation measures are realized concurrent or prior to the respective impacts associated with the phase. Response: A phased development is not proposed for this project. Conclusion The applicant has submitted all of the materials requested during the pre-application conference, has responded to the applicable standards of the Aspen Land Use Code, and has demonstrated the project's compliance with said standards.

It will be a `destination'spa, offering a three-week visit,with a unique approach to the growing back pain epidemic. THE CONCEPT • The concept will be based on a three-week turnaround to prevalent back-related problems. The institute will be a credible,revolutionary combination of the most effective, non-medical treatments available for back pain today. It will consist of state-of-the-art-equipment and highly-skilled therapists who focus only on the treatment of spinal conditions. The institute is unique in its focus on Body,Mind and Spirit(also the Aspen ideal). The following programs will be packaged: ' • Back pain solution • Osteoporosis turnaround ' • Posture perfect • Core concentration • Surgery prevention I Each client will be entered into an 18 day program similar to that of Canyon Ranch Destination Spa. The `Body'component of the program includes daily treatments of exercise,massage, stretching etc. The `Mental'and `Spiritual'components will include lectures,reading and relaxation exercises. Clients will stay at the hotel and receive treatments from Aspen Back Institute and the Bliss Spa while their families enjoy other Aspen activities. The program plans to draw clients in the off-season when preferential rates are available at the St. Regis. Employees will all have a national reputation and aim to bring their clients to Aspen rather than working elsewhere. 1 THE VISION The goal is to establish a world-renown back institute at the St. Regis Hotel in Aspen, CO. The program is aimed at upper-income individuals. To insure the highest possible personal attention for each client, capacity will be limited to 50 participants per month. THE PROGRAM An ABI consultant will design a 3-week program for each participant establishing how to provide that individual the most benefit from their daily 90 minutes of treatment.They will regularly monitor the client's treatment to ensure participant satisfaction. On the last day of treatment each client will have a follow-up consultation to discuss progress and how to maintain it. 1 I BENEFITS OF TREATMENTS 1. Proven: Each treatment chosen has been medically validated with substantial scientific research. Each of the above-mentioned treatments alone is capable of providing significant relief to the client. ' 2. Objective: Most of the treatments provide objective measurements to accurately assess and gauge improvement. 3. Safe:A variety of complex spinal conditions can be treated with complete safety. 4. Medical reimbursement:Majority of treatments are reimbursable depending on the ' participant's medical insurance. Participants will pay upfront and be responsible for claims from their insurance companies. 5. Holistic Combination:The battle against back pain has made it clear that there is no single solution or treatment for back pain. The clinic is unique in that it brings the most current, effective treatments together under one roof including assessment and education of stress and psychological factors. 6. Specialized therapists: Most clinics offer therapists trained to treat a large variety of conditions. However,it is clear that a therapist will be able to be far more skilled, effective and able to stay current on research when focusing on one particular aspect of rehabilitation or therapy. ' 7. Cost-Effective:The average back surgery will cost in excess of$30 000 and require 3-6 months rehabilitation,often without lasting relief. Significant or complete relief is achievable non-surgically within 3 weeks for an average of$4200 (excluding accommodation). This ' includes all costs of X-ray, assessment, treatment and education. The participant will be given a specific program and the tools necessary to continue their progress at home. The combination of specialists under one roof greatly reduces costs and time. There is currently ' no other way for a participant to receive this type of combined input from spine-specialized therapists on state-of-the-art equipment in a non-surgical setting. 8. Credibility: Hundreds of treatments have falsely claimed to give lasting relief leaving back pain sufferers confused and often disillusioned. The need is increasing for a holistically based,medical facility that is not given to lucrative surgical intervention or unproven fads. 45%of back pain sufferers will try chiropractic. Others will resort to medications (NSAID, steroids),acupuncture,physical therapy, surgery,bed rest, electro-stimulation,low-impact exercise (pilates,yoga) etc. Although medicine still dominates,alternative medicine continues to gain popularity but even with all the advances of modern and alternative medicine the problem of back pain not only remains but is on the increase. Neither ' alternative nor modem medicine alone has provided a complete solution. 9. Education:A participant will receive a thorough understanding about their spine, their treatments and the impact of their daily activities.This will be demonstrated through visual and practical media and will be of lasting value to the participant. A participant will also be educated in the understanding of emotional and mental impacts on the spine; the right exercise program for their needs;and how to protect and heal their spines in the future. ' Each participant will watch a 30 minute video designed to address the participant's knowledge of their spine and the concept of the clinic. 10. Rejuvenation:The institute will be situated in Aspen,CO forcing the participant to remove themselves from the `rat race'and come away to a healthy,holistically-based resort town. ' This alone is of significant benefit. 11. Current and progressive:The great majority of clinics have been using the sane methods ' of massage,manipulation and electrotherapy for 3 or more decades. A wealth of information over the past 3-8 years has shown the best solutions to resolve back problems. This will be the foundation of the clinic and will remain current in all of its approach and will not hesitate to abandon a treatment for more effective ones. 2 1 THE TREATMENTS 1. MEDEX BACK STRENGTHENING. This machine has an 80% success rate on participants referred for lumbar surgery and generates specific reports for assessment and improvement. 2. A FLEXIBILITY specialist will perform and teach the participant appropriate stretching. 3. A POWERPLAI'E (vibration platform)is the treatment of choice to stimulate bone and muscle growth in osteoporosis and chronic back pain,done with a therapist. 4. A qualified therapist will perform DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE for relief from muscular spasm and trigger points. 5. CORE STABILIZATION will be learnt on a Pilates Reformer and/or Gyrotonics machine along with Theraball and floor exercises with an exercise specialist... 6. Spinal and pelvic ALIGNMENT/ADJUSTMENTS will be performed by a chiropractor. 7. ELECTROTHERAPY including ultrasound will be applied with ice and heat packs for acute injuries. 8. MOVEMENT. Participants will be entered into a light, safe cardiovascular program e.g. elliptical machine,walking in swimming pool and light Tai Chi type exercise. 9. BALANCE (PROPRIOCEPTION) will also be improved where needed with the help of an exercise specialist. • 1 1 1 1 i 1 i 3 I • ATTACHMENT 2-LAND USE APPLICATION IPLICANT: Name: t+gea vzla 7...sk.V., c.e.` 1...k-C . location: 315 nQA .4 ee,k C\._.
