The relief it gives post surgery is great but if you are having a planned operation like hip or knee its ideal in preparation for the surgery. Your body is balanced and better set up for healing.For appointments call 0879269196

I saw a client recently some months after a hip replacement.

He was ecstatic with the surgery outcome, which had taken away the extreme pain he’d been suffering for years.

Although his balance had been feeling off since the surgery and there was still notable muscular tension and discomfort.

Posturally, his body had a forward lean and pulled to one side and there was an obvious elevation of one hip when standing and walking.

Following the gentle soft tissue treatment to align his pelvic bones and other structures, he remarked “ I feel taller and more balanced, I feel my feet have more connection to the ground.”

Furthermore, the muscular discomfort and tension through the hip had dissipated and the limp had drastically reduced. He walked out a lot straighter and without the sway he walked in with.

To cut a long story short, this gentle therapy can often help post hip replacement surgery (or any surgery for that matter). 😊

Vitamin D may sound like just another nutrient, but your body treats it like something far more powerful. Scientists now classify Vitamin D as a steroid hormone, not a traditional vitamin. That’s right biochemically, it shares the same family as testosterone, estrogen, and cortisol.

Produced from cholesterol when sunlight hits your skin, Vitamin D then transforms through processes in the liver and kidneys into its active form called calcitriol. Once activated, it doesn’t just float around helping bones. Calcitriol enters cells, binds to vitamin D receptors (VDRs), and actually regulates your DNA by turning genes on or off.

This means Vitamin D plays a critical role in immune regulation, inflammation control, cell growth, and even gene expression. It helps manage phosphate levels, supports cellular repair, and contributes to a strong immune defense. It’s no exaggeration to say it acts as a master regulator in your body.

Most people think of Vitamin D in relation to bone health or sunlight, but its impact goes far deeper. It’s one of the most underrated hormones operating quietly behind the scenes, influencing your biology at the cellular level.

Getting enough Vitamin D through sunlight, diet, or supplements might not just protect your bones it could help fine-tune your genetic programming and overall health.
