The Story in Brief
Recovery expert Michael Mallory has advised pickleball players not to treat pain as proof that recovery is working. He says excessive pressure can make the body tense and guard itself, reducing the benefit of exercises and possibly causing harm. Mallory recommends working near the point of resistance, then easing off so the body can relax and move better.
He also says pain in one area may result from a problem elsewhere, such as upper-back stiffness making the shoulder work harder. Players should distinguish warm-ups, which prepare movement before a match, from recovery after play. A consistent five-minute daily routine, he says, can help identify tightness early and reduce injury risk.
The Indian Opinion
The lazy story is that serious players must endure pain, while the opposite exaggeration treats every ache as an injury. Mallory’s advice is more practical: understand the body, separate preparation from recovery and avoid forcing a painful movement. Five minutes daily is a modest test, not a medical guarantee. Players should watch whether consistency improves movement and reduces recurring pain over time.
