1. Estimate realistic recovery periods: Understanding that injuries often take longer to heal than anticipated can help set reasonable expectations, much like anticipating delays when renovating a property. Recognise that tissues may heal in six weeks, but complete recovery could take three months or more.
2. Embrace consistent practice: Just as property projects require regular attention, your recovery should also be consistent. Avoid rushing the process and focus on gradual improvements, whether it’s physical therapy exercises or small renovation tasks at home.
3. Include proper rehabilitation exercises: Include activities that not only address the injury but also prevent future issues. This mirrors the preventive maintenance necessary in home care, helping to avoid larger problems later.
4. Manage pain through reframing techniques: Understand that pain is a signal, not just a symptom, to manage it more effectively. Apply this mindset to the stresses of property management, viewing challenges as signals for potential solutions.
5. Prepare for the long term: Just as property investments benefit from long-term planning, your physical health requires a long-term commitment to healing and strengthening. Consistently applying what you’ve learned through recovery can enhance both your physical and home environments.

Episode Overview
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.
