Client Profile

St. Luke’s Medilocus, a clinic affiliated with St. Luke’s International Hospital, was established in the fall of 2012 as a clinic providing primary care and preventive medicine. Located in Otemachi, at the heart of Japan’s business district, and in an area which has undergone significant recent redevelopment, the clinic’s parent institution, St. Luke’s International Hospital, is known as one of the first hospitals in Japan to offer comprehensive health checkups and has made significant contributions to the development of preventive medicine in Japan.

Client Requests

St. Luke’s International Hospital has always been forward-thinking and prepared to change with the times. As such St. Luke’s MediLocus was launched to create a new clinic that integrated medical care and exercise therapy under one roof. The goal was to provide individually tailored services based on patients’ needs, lifestyles and physical health. The clinic approached R-body, requesting we leverage our knowledge and expertise in the field of exercise to offer comprehensive patient support services.
