Dealing with pain

Should I or shouldn’t I renovate my home?

As physiotherapists, we talk to people about pain every day. Pain is not as simple as it may seem and there are a number of misconceptions about it. Here is the biggest one:

One of the major questions I’m often asked is whether it’s a better time to renovate an existing home OR to sell and buy a renovated/new home.

Pain = damage: NOT TRUE!

lots of different things, such as:

One of the most common beliefs about pain is that it means that something is damaged or broken. Although this can be the case for an acute injury, it is rarely the case when someone has persistent pain.

BIOLOGY - sleep, fatigue, illness

SO what IS pain? Pain is usually our alarm system – it’s there to warn us of a threat to our tissues. Any information that convinces your brain that your body is in danger can contribute to your pain. Your experience of pain is influenced by

PSYCHOLOGY - stress, anxiety, depression SOCIAL FACTORS - your environment, knowledge and prior pain experiences. How can we help? If you have pain with movements, positions or activities, we can help you find ways to modify and become less sensitive to the things that are giving you pain.

A major factor in this decision is the current restrictions on accessing building materials. Given the recent major flooding, we can expect to see a flurry of construction works to repair damaged homes, which will further impact the availability of builders and building materials, and extend renovation timelines. Finding qualified tradespeople is also a concern, with a number of handymen, fencers, electricians, plumbers and painters booked out for the coming months.

If you’re considering a major renovation instead of selling and moving into a completed home, be prepared for much higher build costs and longer building timelines. There’s a strong argument for choosing to make that step up the property ladder by selling and buying a completed home. If you’re in the process of making this decision, I’d be happy to provide some guidance or advice.
