Integrative Role of Yoga Prana Vidya (YPV) Healing in Post-Surgical Recovery of Hip Fracture: A Case Report

Abstract

Background: Hip fractures are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in elderly populations, often requiring surgical intervention and prolonged rehabilitation. Integrative approaches, including energy-based healing systems such as Yoga Prana Vidya (YPV), have shown promise in enhancing recovery outcomes.

Objective: To document the recovery of a 78-year-old female patient with a left neck of femur fracture following 3 falls on 7 November 2025, and started receiving YPV healing alongside conventional medical management.

Methods: The patient, diagnosed on 8 November 2025, underwent hip surgery on 10 November 2025. No neurological causes of falls were observed during investigations. On patient’s request, YPV healing sessions were initiated by a Certified Healer immediately after fallings on 7 November and continued until 10 December 2025. Healing protocols included psychotherapy, cleansing and energizing specific affected chakras, strengthening the spine, and daily affirmations. Sessions were frequent in the initial phase (every three hours for three days), gradually tapering as recovery progressed.

Results: Post-surgery, the patient reported reduced pain, improved mobility, and faster-than-expected rehabilitation. By 5 December 2025, i.e., within 25 days after surgery, she was walking without support, and by 15 December 2025, she resumed normal activities including attending social functions. Physiotherapy outcomes were positive, with enhanced mobility and reduced dependence on assistive devices.

Conclusions: The integration of YPV healing with conventional medical care facilitated smooth recovery, improved patient confidence, and accelerated functional independence. This case highlights the potential of YPV as a complementary therapy in orthopaedic rehabilitation.
