The International Spine & Pain Institute (ISPI) operates in the higher education sector, focusing on the education and resources for physical therapists specializing in spinal disorders, orthopedics, and pain science. Founded in 2005 by Adriaan and Colleen Louw and based in Story City, Iowa, the organization offers evidence-based educational programs and materials intended to enhance professional practice and knowledge in its field. With a small staff, ISPI positions itself as a dedicated provider of up-to-date, research-backed educational content for clinicians seeking to deepen expertise in spine and pain management. A notable recent development is ISPI’s collaboration with Evidence in Motion, forming part of the EIM family, which reflects a broader integration within a professional education network. The institute serves physical therapy professionals and aims to address the gap between current research and clinical practice in spine care and pain science.
