About this episode

Cory discusses the legal implications of website accessibility under the ADA for wellness business owners.

Not all legal risks show up inside your studio. Some of the biggest ones are now happening on your website. In this episode, Cory breaks down a major shift in how the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) is being applied—and why wellness business owners are now responsible for making their online platforms accessible. Why This Matters The ADA used to apply to physical spaces like studios and gyms. Now, it applies to your website, booking systems, and online services. If your online presence isn’t accessible, you could face complaints, legal action, or settlement demands—even if no client ever raised an issue directly. Key Takeaways ✔️ The ADA now applies to websites, booking systems, and online platforms ✔️ Businesses are being targeted through automated scans and complaints ✔️ Accessibility isn’t just ethical—it’s becoming a legal requirement ✔️ A simple ADA disclaimer can strengthen your legal position immediately Cory’s Legal Pro Tip 📄 “You don’t need to master every legal detail—but you do need to show that you’re aware, compliant, and taking action. That’s what protects you.” 🎧 Want to stay protected as laws evolve? Hit play now. 📞 Book a legal call 📸 Instagram 👥 Join…
