Smashing a remarkable century on his return from a serious knee injury was not something Yuvraj Singh even dreamt was possible. Back in October 2007 doctors had told him that surgery was his only option when he injured his knee during a warm-up session in Australia, and that would’ve meant missing at least five months of international cricket. Jatin Chowdhary understands a sportsperson’s compulsions and so advises alternate forms of treatment - a combination of physiotherapy, osteopathy that uses massage and bone manipulation and the ingham method, or reflexology, that is used to relax tension and improve nerves and blood supply. Dr Jatin Choudhary said that , “A ligament that was missing started to reappear after 10 days of treatment.” Dr Choudhary explains that “Physiotherapy helps in killing pain and muscle strengthening and the Ingham method searches out points through pulse. We locate points for Diseased parts are located and stimulate that part through needles, lazer, moksha and stimulators.” And that’s why he recommended the doctor to Sachin Tendulkar and tennis player Sania Mirza, who have also been treated by the Delhi-based doctor for sports injuries.
