Brace: Recovery & Physio

Brace is a free social rehabilitation platform that enables people to take control of their injury recovery journey. Our aim is to positively reframe the recovery experience through connection and empowerment, and help a global community of injured people support each other to come back stronger.

We help you to manage the physical and mental aspects of the injury recovery process in three ways:

1. **Improved Injury Tracking and Management** – simple and effective plan and exercise management, with reminder notifications and easy progress monitoring.

2. **Providing a Central Location of Insights** – easy connection with others in the rehabilitation process, to find out about the lived recovery experience for different injuries.

3. **Facilitating Social and Community Support** – a community of people sharing motivation and milestones, to collectively keep moving forward on their recovery journey.

**Improved Injury Tracking and Management**

We enable you to manage and track your rehabilitation exercises digitally, in a way which gamifies the recovery process. You can input your rehabilitation plan using our exercise library (or by adding your own custom exercises), and each day we’ll provide reminders and motivational notifications to ensure you stay on top of your plan and continue hitting your recovery milestones.

You can also record your sentiment and exercise difficulty levels to help create a picture for you, your physiotherapist and the community of how you are finding the recovery journey. On your profile you can check your adherence statistics and monitor your progress and completion. With research showing adherence rates to home based exercises as low as 50%, our digital tracker can help you stay motivated and on top of your exercises to ensure the best clinical outcomes.

**Providing a Central Location of Insights**

Through our community of users we have a central location of insights into the lived experience of injury rehabilitation and you can gain an understanding and advice from others who have been through or are currently going through similar.

While onboarding you can provide details of your injury, previous activity or sport, and location – and using our Explore section you can search and connect with others in similar categories.

**Facilitating Social and Community Support**

Brace is a social network for injury recovery! You can share your recovery journey through statuses and check-ins, and find motivation from following and connecting with others. Users can like, comment and keep track of others so that collectively you have the motivation, support and camaraderie to keep going at your plan.

Research shows that feelings of isolation during recovery are both a huge mental obstacle as well as a detriment to motivation that can affect physical outcomes. We are here to provide people the social support and community connections they need to maintain their physical and mental well-being to throughout the recovery process.
