 I love football a lot. I'm from Bangalore and one of the days that I was playing a game of football, I hyperextended my knee, ended up with a complete ACL tear and got partial tears on all of my ligaments around the ACL. I had to do a little bit of virgin travel so I couldn't meet any of the doctors in town. Later on I was referred to Manipal Hospital and in particular Dr. Hemant Kalyan and I caught up with him once I got back and met up with Dr. Hemant, explained the entire scenario to him and at that point of time you know my knee was really in a bad shape. There was a lot of swelling, fluids around the kneecap and you know obviously I was not able to really get any kind of flexion on the knee. He explained the entire process of how we could look at a conservative mode of treatment for the injury wherein you just focus primarily on physiotherapy and sports rehab. Once we decided then I had a lot of support you know from the doctor, Dr. Hemant and Priyanka the physiotherapist and of course the hospital. None of this would have been possible without the support that the hospital would give me. Once we started on this journey initially of course it was a lot very difficult you know there's a lot of times when I was thinking that would my knee really go back to how it was when we started and but through it all you know Priyanka was quite patient. I would say there's a lot of sessions where I would just say that you know I can only do five reps she would be like no let's try to hit the 12 etc you know of course I'm sure there's a lot of people who agree with me on this so Priyanka was there for the journey. Dr. Hemant of course and the infrastructure provided by Manipal Hospital the machines and the equipments that are available here as well. So all of this I think led to you know a very quick recovery for me and you know I'm happy to say that I'm completely back to normal back to work and looking forward to getting back on the pitch again. I would like to thank Manipal Hospital, Dr. Hemant Kalyan and Priyanka for all their efforts and it's been a I would say it's been a combined effort and as a team we've achieved this.
