Founder
Dr. Lauren Karatanevski
Prior to becoming a Chiropractor, Lauren received a full athletic scholarship to the University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill in springboard and platform diving.
Over two decades as a high performance athlete, she reached performance levels and athletic achievements that include: 4-time National Springboard and Platform Championship Medalist, 2007 FINA World Aquatic Championship participant (Melbourne, Australia) and 2008 FINA World Cup/Olympic Trials participant (Beijing, China).
After suffering from numerous injuries throughout her career and reflecting back on how they could have all been prevented, Lauren wanted to change the course of the health, sport performance and the fitness industry by fostering proactive and preventative healthcare solutions that would allow people to perform at their highest level for the rest of their lives and not be restricted by injury.
With this vision in mind, the Institute of Sport and High Performance was created.
