In this episode of the Trends Property Insight Series, we sit down with Bryan Ellis, neuromuscular and rehabilitative therapist, to explore what it really means to build resilience, both in the body and the mind.

With decades of experience helping people recover from injuries, reframe habits, and develop strength over time, Bryan brings a powerful perspective to the idea that your body is the most important property you’ll ever own. Bryan unpacks the parallels between physical recovery and life’s bigger journeys, including buying, selling, renovating, or building a home.

He explains why consistency matters more than intensity, how language shapes behaviour, and why reframing failure as learning can change everything. From the role of dopamine and sleep to the simple power of breathwork and movement, Bryan’s approach is about creating sustainable habits that help you endure stress, navigate uncertainty, and thrive under pressure.

Through honest reflection and practical wisdom, this episode offers a new lens on wellbeing, resilience, and long-term transformation. Whether you’re climbing a metaphorical hill or just trying to get through the day, Bryan’s message is clear: don’t do nothing. Do something again, and again, and your body, mind, and life will thank you for it.

There’s plenty more where that came from.
