This hunk spent quite a few weeks in the sick bay last year, and even earned a reputation for being accident-prone when he repeatedly kept getting injured during most of 2011's last quarter.
It was on the sets of "Agneepath" that Hrithik Roshan first suffered from Repetitive Stress Injuries, and was asked to take a fortnight off. Later, it was reported that he'd suffered from a knee injury and a double slipped disc because of which dad Rakesh Roshan had considered shelving "Krissh 3", and Hrithik was quoted as saying that it was a really "dark phase" for him.
But between those painful months and now, when he's looking fitter and leaner than ever, we've learnt that the actor decided to battle the negativity and consulted a team of specialists for his ailments. Taking to Twitter, Roshan recently spoke about what helped him recuperate, when he tweeted, "MEERAji thank u 4 VARDAN - d science of functional manual therapy (FMT) just blows my mind besides curing my pain. CHARLES n JEVENE u guys r miracle workers! India is going 2b fitter n painfree cause of u..."
Charles King and Jevene Summers are certified Functional Manual Therapists from the US, at Vardan. Jevene, while declining to comment on what ailed Hrithik, told us, "Last fall is when we started treating him, and the therapy is called Functional Manual Therapy (FMT). We worked with him, as well as his trainer, who has done a phenomenal job of bringing him to this shape. We worked on specific exercises, and he followed everything with dedication." Charles too praised the actor, and said, "He is a wonderful man and a very compliant patient. It was a pleasure working with him." Going by Hrithik's tweet, the feeling's mutual!
