History
Body Clinic had its genesis when the principals, Dr Peter and Mrs Julie Norton moved to Jakarta from Sydney, Australia in 2005 to establish Indoneisa's first podiatry clinic. They commenced by founding Yayasan Bantuan Kesehatan Indonesia and began implementing training programs for local doctors, nurses and technicians to support delivery of services..
The first clinic and orthotic manufacture laboratory opened in January 2006 in a small office on Jl. Prapanca Raya, Jakarta Selatan. After moving to the current larger premises in mid 2008, other health services were gradually introduced - physiotherapy, hair tissue mineral analysis, weight loss and general medicine.
Mrs Norton, a medical business consultant, has sat as Podiatry adviser to the Indonesian Ministry of Health since 2010 for regulation of the sub-division of “Traditional Health” under which Podiatry was categorized in July 2007.

Goals
Extrapolating from the data, Indonesia has about 13 million people suffering from diabetes - the 4th highest prevalence of diabetes in the world according to the World Health Organization. Diabetic foot disease is a co-morbidity which affects over 15% of diabetes sufferers and results in ulcers, cellulitus, gangrene and amputation.. Podiatry services in conjunction with re-vascularization are proven to reduce the rate of lower extremity amputation in over 50% of cases. It is therefore the goal of the principals to assist the Indonesia build capacity in management of the diabetic foot within the public and private health sector.
Body Clinic offers a Club Foot program - the only gold standard Ponseti Method Serial Casting service in Indonesia. It is our aim to pass on these valuable skills to doctors throughout the country.
We take this opportunity to thank all our loyal patients and sponsors of the Club Foot program as well as many individuals in the Ministry of Health for supporting us and the development of lower limb services in Indonesia.
