Martin Thorne
My name is Martin Thorne. I'm a physical therapist, but I'm also a guy in his 60s who fell in love with pickleball. I wrote this book because I saw too many of my friends and patients getting sidelined by injuries that were entirely preventable. My goal isn't to make you a pro—it's to give you the practical, evidence-based tools to help you stay healthy, happy, and active on the court for as long as you want.
