Accessibility Statement
Making BodyRepair Accessible
BodyRepair has been designed to help as many people as possible participate safely in rehabilitation, fitness, health improvement and performance pathways.
Accessibility is considered throughout the design of the platform rather than being treated as a separate feature.
Our Commitment
BodyRepair believes that health, rehabilitation and fitness technologies should be accessible to the widest possible range of people regardless of age, ability, experience, physical condition or confidence with technology.
Accessibility is a continuing commitment that evolves as the platform develops.
Our Principles
Accessible by Design
Inclusive
Designed for people with a wide range of abilities and support needs.
Flexible
Supporting different devices, screen sizes and methods of interaction.
Improving
Accessibility is reviewed continually as BodyRepair evolves.
1. Accessibility Standards
Design Approach
BodyRepair aims to design and develop its public website and application using recognised accessibility principles and good practice.
As the platform develops, BodyRepair intends to work towards alignment with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA where appropriate for the services provided.
Accessibility considerations are intended to form part of planning, design, development, testing and future releases.
2. Keyboard Navigation
Using BodyRepair Without a Mouse
Where practical, BodyRepair aims to support users who navigate entirely using a keyboard.
- Logical tab order.
- Visible keyboard focus.
- Skip navigation links.
- Accessible menus.
- Keyboard-operable controls.
- Consistent navigation.
Future features will continue to be reviewed for keyboard accessibility during development.
3. Screen Readers
Supporting Assistive Technologies
BodyRepair aims to work effectively with modern screen readers and other assistive technologies.
Where practical, pages should include:
- Meaningful page titles.
- Correct heading structure.
- Alternative text for images.
- Accessible forms.
- Clear labels.
- Descriptive links.
- Semantic HTML.
Accessibility testing will continue as new features are introduced.
4. Colour and Contrast
Supporting Readability
BodyRepair aims to use colour responsibly. Information should never rely solely on colour to communicate meaning.
Where practical, the platform aims to provide:
- Appropriate colour contrast.
- Readable typography.
- Consistent spacing.
- Clear visual hierarchy.
- Accessible button design.
- Consistent icons.
5. Text Size
Supporting Different Reading Preferences
BodyRepair aims to remain usable when browser zoom or operating system text scaling is increased.
Layouts should adapt appropriately without loss of important information or functionality wherever practical.
6. Cognitive Accessibility
Reducing Cognitive Load
BodyRepair recognises that accessibility extends beyond physical or sensory impairments. Many users benefit from interfaces that reduce unnecessary cognitive demand, particularly when recovering from injury, managing fatigue, pain, stress or another health condition.
Where practical, BodyRepair aims to support cognitive accessibility through:
- Consistent page layouts.
- Clear navigation.
- Simple language.
- Predictable interactions.
- Progressive disclosure of information.
- Reduced visual clutter.
- Clear confirmation messages.
- Structured task progression.
The platform aims to help users focus upon one task at a time without unnecessary distraction.
7. Neurodiversity
Supporting Different Ways of Thinking
BodyRepair recognises that people process information in different ways. The platform aims to support users who are autistic, ADHD, dyslexic, dyspraxic, dyscalculic, or who identify with another neurodivergent profile.
Accessibility considerations may include:
- Clear language.
- Consistent terminology.
- Reduced information overload.
- Predictable navigation.
- Structured instructions.
- Logical progression through pathways.
- Reduced unnecessary animation.
- Simple visual hierarchy.
Accessibility improvements are intended to benefit every user, not solely those with recognised disabilities.
8. Rehabilitation Accessibility
Supporting Recovery
Many BodyRepair users may be recovering from surgery, injury or illness.
Recovery can temporarily affect mobility, vision, concentration, memory, dexterity or endurance.
BodyRepair therefore aims to support rehabilitation by providing:
- Simple navigation.
- Clear session guidance.
- Easy-to-read dashboards.
- Large touch targets where practical.
- Minimal unnecessary interaction.
- Straightforward recording of progress.
9. Motion and Animation
Reducing Unnecessary Motion
Some users experience discomfort, motion sensitivity or vestibular disorders.
Where practical, BodyRepair aims to minimise unnecessary animation and avoid excessive visual effects that could interfere with comfortable use.
Important information should never depend solely upon animation or movement.
10. Smart Glasses Accessibility
Accessible Wearable Experiences
Future smart-glasses integrations are intended to improve hands-free access to BodyRepair information.
Examples may include:
- Large readable prompts.
- Simple navigation.
- Minimal information per screen.
- Voice interaction where supported.
- Optional audio guidance.
- High-contrast displays where available.
Smart glasses should enhance accessibility without reducing situational awareness.
11. Running Pathway Accessibility
Supporting Every Runner
The Running pathway has been designed to support a wide range of users, including those beginning physical activity, returning from injury or working towards more advanced goals.
Accessibility considerations may include:
- Clear programme progression.
- Simple route planning.
- Large controls during activity.
- Audio prompts where available.
- Minimal interaction while moving.
- Easy review of completed sessions.
Running routes should always be assessed by the individual before participation.
12. Voice Interaction
Alternative Methods of Interaction
As BodyRepair evolves, future releases may support voice interaction where compatible devices make this possible.
Voice interaction may assist users who experience reduced mobility, temporary injury or who require hands-free operation during appropriate activities.
Voice functionality will be introduced only where it supports safe participation.
13. Continuous Accessibility Improvement
Accessibility is an Ongoing Commitment
Accessibility is reviewed throughout the ongoing development of BodyRepair.
Future improvements may include:
- Additional accessibility testing.
- User feedback.
- Assistive technology testing.
- Improved keyboard support.
- Expanded voice interaction.
- Improved wearable accessibility.
- Enhanced visual accessibility.
- Improved cognitive support.
Accessibility improvements will continue as new pathways, features and technologies are introduced.
14. Reporting Accessibility Issues
Help Us Improve Accessibility
BodyRepair welcomes feedback regarding the accessibility of the website, application and future wearable experiences.
If you encounter an accessibility barrier, please let us know. Your feedback helps us improve the experience for everyone.
Useful information may include:

- The device being used.
- Your browser.
- Any assistive technology used.
- A description of the issue.
- Steps that produced the problem.
Where practical, we aim to investigate reported accessibility issues and consider them within future development work.
15. Alternative Formats
Requesting Information in Another Format
Where reasonably practicable, BodyRepair aims to provide important information in formats that better meet individual accessibility needs.
Depending upon the nature of the information, alternative formats may include:
- Accessible HTML.
- Accessible PDF.
- Large-print documents.
- Plain text.
- Screen-reader compatible formats.
Availability may depend upon the specific document, technical limitations and applicable legal obligations.
16. Browser and Device Compatibility
Supported Technologies
BodyRepair is designed to work across modern desktop, tablet and mobile devices.
The experience may vary depending upon:
- Browser version.
- Operating system.
- Device capabilities.
- Internet connection.
- Assistive technologies.
- Connected wearable devices.
Future BodyRepair releases will continue to improve compatibility as new technologies become available.
17. Future Accessibility Roadmap
Looking Ahead
Accessibility forms part of the long-term development strategy for BodyRepair.
Future development may include:
- Expanded voice interaction.
- Improved smart-glasses accessibility.
- Additional screen-reader optimisation.
- Greater keyboard support.
- Enhanced rehabilitation accessibility.
- Improved cognitive accessibility.
