A MISSION MADE POSSIBLE
TOM CRUISE’S PT TRIUMPH
Tom Cruise may be one of the world’s most famous and celebrated actors, but that doesn’t mean his bones and joints are immune to breaking.
in a 2018 interview with People magazine. “Six weeks later, I had to be on set; 12 weeks later, I had to be sprinting again. Doctors said they weren’t sure whether I’d be sprinting in nine months, let alone that time. I was like, ‘Okay, I gotta figure this out, and I gotta figure it out fast.’” By seeking physical therapy as an option, Cruise made a miraculous recovery, returning to the set in time to complete his scenes. “Mission: Impossible – Fallout” was released right on time in July 2018, eventually earning nearly $800 million worldwide. Cruise’s ankle, in the meantime, fully recovered from the missed-rooftop ordeal.
THE CRACK HEARD ROUND HOLLYWOOD In 2018, the then-55-year-old actor — known for performing his own stunts in “Mission: Impossible” movies like “Ghost Protocol” and “Rogue Nation” — was in London filming “Mission: Impossible – Fallout” when an on-set accident threatened to derail the film’s completion and put his future as an action star in jeopardy. While jumping
from one rooftop to another as the cameras rolled, Cruise descended too early and hit the side of the second building, breaking his ankle upon impact. Production was promptly halted, and physicians feared he would never run again.

THE 6-WEEK PT SOLUTION Given only six weeks to heal before production on the film resumed, Cruise immediately sought treatment through professional physical therapy.
“I went right into rehab — about 10 hours a day, 12 hours, seven days a week,” he recalled
