What's The Secret To Fixing Shoulder Tendonitis?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 чер 2024
- Far too many people have tried all sorts of treatments for shoulder tendonitis, like slings to immobilize, corticosteroid injections, anti-inflammatories, ice packs, stretching and strengthening, etc....but still have pain and problem.
Why is that?
It's because the treatments failed to effectively deal with all the necessary factors that caused the shoulder pain.
If you have one or more shoulder tendons that hurt, your doctors and (usually) your PT's will focus on the tendons. They'll tell you that you have a shoulder tendon problem.
But you don't. The tendon pain is a symptom of a bigger dynamic. You have to correct the larger dynamic if you want to fix the tendon 'problem'.
The secret to fixing shoulder tendonitis shouldn't be a secret, since it's pretty much common sense.
Tendonitis in a shoulder doesn't just happen out of the blue for no reason, and it's not caused by 'repetitive' activity.
Tendinitis of the shoulder (and everywhere else) is primarily made up of three factors:
- Muscle and connective tissue tightness
- Inflammation process
- Nutritional lack
If you don't adequately and successfully address each of those three factors, then your shoulder isn't going to get better (or won't stay better for very long).
Shoulder pain is reversible when you go about it the RIGHT way.

So... this is an advertisement. An 8 minute long advertisement. "The secret to fixing shoulder tendonitis is to give me $30."
LOL. Don't be dumb and tell lies. There is a single sentence at the end plugging the program.
But you're right, I should charge $100.
Haha..so true
@@TendonitisExpert Look at the thumbs up comments and now ask yourself what caused those thumbs up?
@KidVinie 7.9k thumbs up ain't terrible....
@@TendonitisExpert No but 3,800+ thumbs down is!
I can’t believe I just wasted 8 minutes with something as shallow as this. You basically repeat the same thing over and over again without giving any kind of orientation. Less drawing and more content please
I can't believe that I repeated the important stuff so much and you STILL completely missed it.
@@TendonitisExpert If all you want to do is go over the super-basic items you mention, get rid of the unnecessary repetition and make it a 2 minute video that efficiently covers the material. There are lots of videos on YT that cover the tightness and inflammation and the mechanics which cause the problems in much more meaningful detail (Jeff Cavalier is one such youtuber). The one element of your triad that is not as commonly discussed is the nutrition, so you should have briefly gone over what nutrition is relevant. To not do so makes this video vacuous.
You call them 'super basic', which makes sense that you would then arrive at 'vacuous'.
The three factors are in fact critical to the how and why of tendonitis, including the reversal of.
I repeat a lot so people won't miss it.
It helped me more than anyone I’ve seen
thank you i turned the speed to the max
Was wondering why this video has so many dislikes. Took me 8 minutes to realize its just a sales pitch.
Disappointing...
How does pointing to the product at the end invalidate and/or make the entire thing a sales pitch? This complaint shows up a lot. I presume because people expect an entire program for free, and don't want to know why they're in pain and are just looking for a fix...and expect the entire fix to be in an 8 minute video.
@@TendonitisExpert I saw 3 videos for info on this. Yours was the first. The other 2 had a better explanation and possible ways to fix it, which i tried and saw a bit of relief, without anyone trying to sell me anything. But hey good luck on your book sales.
If a bit of relief is what you're after, the free tips and tricks videos are great for that.
I'm not trying to be sassy there....I'm trying to say that I sell a program that shows people how to reverse their tendonitis dynamic so they can get back to full function, and pain free activity. Most of my customers are people who have spent months and years and even decades on the free options...and the doctors and PT's etc.
If you just have minor symptoms that haven't been around very long, then yeah I can see how one could expect a fix from free tips and tricks on youtube and how one could even be resentful that somebody would have the gall to charge for helpful information. But people with minor symptoms, as a general statement, will, farther down the line, be looking for a fix, and will have learned that this thing here, and that thing there, and everything else they've tried, hasn't fixed it. So a complete program that shows you how to reverse the multiple causes of the tendonitis pain causing dynamic will then look attractive. I hope you never get to the point where you need it.
@@TendonitisExpert "Most of my customers are people who have spent months and years and even decades on the free options...and the doctors and PT's etc"
If someone spent years and decades listening to advice from doctors and PT and still hasnt solved the issue, i would feel sorry for that country's healthcare system. The odds of finding all the bad doctors and PT are a bit low, but i digress.
Sorry if i sounded rude or offensive in anyway. Good luck.
"If someone spent years and decades listening to advice from doctors and PT and still hasnt solved the issue, i would feel sorry for that country's healthcare system." Feel very very sorry.
"The odds of finding all the bad doctors and PT are a bit low," If that were true, I'd be out of business.
"Sorry if i sounded rude or offensive in anyway. " Thanks. No worries. I delete (almost) all those.
This video could have just be titled “causes of shoulder pain”, it’s extremely vague and only points out the obvious reasons as to why it hurts but never a “secret to fixing it” because most people suffering from this already know it’s either inflammation or tearing of muscle or ligaments causing tendonitis. Knowing why it hurts is one thing, knowing how to get rid of it is a different story.
1. " it’s extremely vague and only points out the obvious reasons as to why it hurts" I disagree. It tells you exactly why you hurt. The 'secret' is, if you don't address the reasons you're hurting, and adequately, you won't get the recovery you're looking for.
2. "most people suffering from this already know it’s either inflammation or tearing of muscle or ligaments causing tendonitis. That's why most people can't get results. It's not just inflammation, and there can be even disabling pain with zero tearing. Most people have pain but no actual injury. It's a matter of reduced ability to function, due to the three factors described in the video. ALL THREE, as the video says. Not just inflammation. So while most people may 'know' it's from inflammation or tearing, that's at best a third of the problem that needs to be effectively dealt with.
3. "Knowing why it hurts is one thing, knowing how to get rid of it is a different story." I agree partly. Knowing why is EVERYTHING. Address the why(s) and the problem reverses itself. As that has some complication to it, that's what my program is for.
But far too many people spend months and years suffering and trying various treatments because they don't know that the tendonitis dynamic is made up of the three factors in the video, so they agree to treatments that don't adequately address all three (or usually, even one of the factors).
TendonitisExpert the pain came AFTER the injury not before, so saying you have to get rid of inflammation in order to heal tendonitis is kinda like saying you need to get rid of your hair loss in order to get rid of cancer. The inflammation isn’t going to go away until you tackle the main problem that caused the inflammation in the first place which in this case we are specifically talking about tendonitis. Inflammation from diet usually targets your organs first and then it keeps spreading out until eventually your body builds massive amounts of uric acid, but that inflammation is mainly due to a backed up lymphatic system but clogged lymphs don’t cause tendonitis.
1. "saying you have to get rid of inflammation in order to heal tendonitis is kinda like saying you need to get rid of your hair loss in order to get rid of cancer" That is not even close to being correct.
2. What injury, specifically?
3. Inflammation is just one of three primary factors. All three work together to make things worse. Making any one factor better helps the other two improve (all three must be dealt with.
I think the secret is do some strecting and take some anti inflams...not sure about nutrition as i eat well enough.not so sure aboout theroy that big muscles pull joint tighter either.i tuck elbows into sides as much as possible in bench and this helps alot.dont suffer half as much since doing this.also try keep shoulder blades back and use tricep power to unrack the bar.better still is get a spotter to help unrack that way you can keep up arched back set up....as usual a secret is a long story👍
vague on purpose because he wants to charge for his tips. Went to his website and he charges by the minute of conversation.
You didn’t get to the point on how I can fix my problem, that’s what I need. If the doctor isn’t going to tell me, neither did you.
As per the title, the video isn't about how to fix. It's about what to fix. Which is far more than your doctor will tell you.
If you don't know what to fix, how can you select the right methods to fix? If a doctor tells you to rest and use anti-inflammatories, or get surgery, now you can apply the question: "Will that fix/address/reverse the three main factors that need to be addressed?" If not, then one might want to not waste time/money/effort on said methods.
He didn't on purposelol to sell his book or wtv, but if u know a little about health and fitness u should know what to do now from the information given
Yes. The secret is that you have to effectively address three main factors, and all three of them. What three factors did the video tell you that you need to address to fix the shoulder tendonitis?
ginger and for inflammation, fruit veg for nutrition, basic shoulder pt for tightness
That’s because he wants you to buy his book. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I don’t think this is a fair video as it doesn’t tell you how to reverse the problem, it directs you elsewhere, which is a bit of a trick.
It delivers on the title, which is, 'the secret to fixing'. It tells you what MUST be effectively addressed. The methods one gets from doctors and PT's, as a general assertion, don't.
I developed pain after upping the weight on my bench presses. This was eye opening. Thanks.
I scroll down and noticed that you reply to many people. That's certainly nice of you. I have an issues with my shoulders after nearly 30 years of climbing. I will try to find your book. Thanks
Thanks for noticing. Keep me updated.
While the info was great, I have never hear anyone who repeats himself as much as you do!
I'm ok with repeating the important stuff. Some people really, really, angrily aren't...but they also miss the whole 'important' part so go away with nothing but complaints. Thanks for appreciating what was said. Admittedly, repeatedly.
Omg so much talking and said nothing, I never understood how to heal the shoulder
So...you seriously missed the entire thing? So much talking and you ignored it all?
@@TendonitisExpert You have thoroughly explained contributing/leading factors to enable an understanding on why the pain is there from tendonitis. But unfortunately you have not covered fixing the problem. You named the UA-cam video “what’s the secret to fixing shoulder tendonitis” and proceed to link your book/web link and explain that this will tell us how to fix tendonitis. Very misleading video.
@ThePlasticriver Well, in my defense, I named the video 'what's the secret to fixing shoulder tendonitis', and then thoroughly explained the factors that must be effectively dealt with to fix it. Factors that if ignored, as most all therapies do, will result in no fix. Whoever told you to rest, immobilize, have better ergonomics, stop lifting, stretch and strengthen, take anti-inflammatories, etc, didn't know 'the secret'. If you had known that, you wouldn't have wasted time on therapies that weren't likely to work (or work for very long).
'How to' fix tendonitis would fall under a different title, that included something like 'how to' in the title, and would describe exactly how to effectively address those factors.
Thank you so much. I’m enlightened. So many doctors that i saw never explained this.
It's unfortunate, but explanations on the hows and whys are greatly lacking....
I watched the video only to conclude it is a sales pitch...I should have looked closer at the title "What's The Secret To Fixing Shoulder Tendonitis? So the expert is asking us, the viewers, what is the secret? I will never get back those 8:12.
A. Yes, the title is a question. As many many many youtube video titles are. The view sees the title, responds with something like "I don't know', curiosity or equivalent results, video gets watched. Contents of said video get learned. Or as is often the case as evidenced here, totally ignored.
B. Your conclusion is that it's a sales pitch because there's a single sentence at the end saying something like "if you'd like to learn the how to of fixing Shoulder tendonitis, check out my program'? Really? Then yes, you did indeed waste 8:11 by ignoring 8:11 worth of content.
Sorry, but not much "secret" info here. With 32 years of massage experience here I have seen hundreds and hundreds of this issue. If you have inflammation ice it, if micro tears, are the issue you have scar tissue, all"healing" of torn tissues results in scars. Often the scar tissues creates multidirectional force , picture a tendon running from head to toe,with scar tissue running from hip to hip creating a force that somewhat prevents the tendon from moving properly along the line of force applied during contraction. Find a LMT with lots of knowledge and expertise with transverse friction massage. It's not pleasent for the recipient, but it works. 3 secrets, lol. 1. Ice the treatment area till it's numb. Careful of ice burn. No ice on bare skin. 2. Transverse friction. If your LMT doesn't know what that is, find another,they will position your forearm into your low back which will open the joint allowing palpation to find the hottest spot. Once that is found, a braced fingertip is used to strum across the scar breaking it loose, don't panic it's on a microscopic level. Like strumming guitar strings. The first treatment is about 30 seconds, trust me it's going to hurt. Each treatment after will be progressively longer up to five minutes of constant friction.3. after each and every treatment re ice the area. Let the area come back to normal temp. When ready do gentle and slow range of motion. This allows the broken free scar tissue to realign with the force lines.This treatment takes time, multiple factors effect healing, scar density,extent of initial trauma,etc,etc. As far as nutrition, simple. GARBAGE in GARBAGE out!
Direct work on the tendon is/can be great as a recovery technique. Unfortunately it ignores all the causes of microtears.
Gargabe in garbage out is true. But when eating a garbage free diet, adequate nutrition (across the board) is a requisite for proper muscle function (and everything else function).
Tim Castle, thank you for your information, this is a value "secret" and is appreciate much. 🙂
I would sooner pay for your comment than for this guys book...
@Joel You should DEFINITELY pay Tim.
I put up with shoulder pain on both sides for 15yrs! Quick answer for anyone who might feel pain like i did.....it was my sleeping position.
I love to sleep on my tummy with both arms bent up and above both sides of my head and that right there was the problem. When i started trialing laying on my sides only, it took roughly 3 weeks for the sharp tear pains to almost go away and about 12 months for it to fully heal.
Yeah i know it's hard to break a bad habbit but everytime i woke up during the night and caught myself laying on my belly again i would quickly lay on my side, it was pretty easy to teach myself to break the habbit eventually just dont give up.
Sleeping in positions where a structure is overlengthened and overloaded, over time, certainly doesn't help anything.
I sleep 40 years in that position and i developed tentonitis in my both shoulders .
Wow this actually explains a lot my pains are just like he described them 👍🏻
I've had this for-like-ever! And it's exactly where you mark it on your video! Thank you for sharing ❤
You're welcome! Now, get rid of it!
My shoulder tendonitis/impingement was caused by tight pecs and tight traps/supraspinatus. I resolved the issue with a lot of stretching and pin-stretching with a lacrosse ball and a reduction in how often I was training to allow for the inflammation to settle.
How long ago was that? Back to full training?
Stretching etc is great. If it takes care of the pain/problem great.
Next level, if it makes symptoms go away whenever the symptoms return, great.
Nexts level, if/when stretching no longer works, then it's high time for a new game plan.
I just f*#ked my rotator in gym, now I'm here! This is awesome well explained. Thankyou from New Zealand😊
OMG thank you. It was painful this first time but my stiffness and soreness is already less. I just stretched out my lats, chest, and bicep-triceps muscles. This explains at least in part why 2 days with an ice pack hasn’t helped at all. Kudos.
That's the truth my doctor just told me what i have and prescribed me medicines but you told me what is causing the tendonitis and i'm working on it now, thank you very much🙌
Thanks for the explanation. So a painful shoulder, tightness and pain (including sudden surges) in the upper arm, restricted movement (two months so far) is likely to be tendonitis ?
That's tough to answer, but if there's tightness and pain, there is a tendonitis dynamic (tightness, inflammation, lack of nutrition). There's variations of that, (frozen shoulder, or inflammed bursa, etc) and I don't know your history of activity/injury/etc, but in general, if there's no obvious traumatic cause, the tendonitis dynamic is the first mechanic I'd look at.
Sophistry at its finest. Would you mind sharing an article or two supporting your hypotheses?
You really think that 'tight muscles cause problems' and 'lack of nutrition results in decreased function' or that 'inflammation causes muscles to tighten' is a false argument? I'm not sure how stating those most basic of basic physiology facts qualify as 'sophistry', much less qualifying as anything to do with 'hypothesis' instead of fact. What a silly accusation. Perhaps you were referring to something else?
Hi there :) It doesn't seem to me that you know as much about tendinitis as you're claiming. From what I can tell, your credentials don't qualify you as an expert. You've spoken in vague generalities in order to appeal to intuition and sell a product, and you've intentionally (I think) used language ("secrets") to make it sound as though you know something the rest of us don't. It's the exact same language used on infomercials. I'm in agreement with you that our healthcare system has failed many, but to claim that you're an expert because you can say "tight muscles cause problems" and that you treat the root cause of the problem instead of symptoms, is comical. How could you prove such a thing? Again, why don't you share some peer-reviewed papers with the rest of us in healthcare that are ignorant to your profound wisdom.
**shrug** I work with people who have been failed by professionals with peer reviewed papers. If/when you (you, or anybody reading this) have seen doctors and PTs etc and still have pain/problem, come see me.
Thank you for this valuable info. You’re right might doc never could give me a straight answer.
Thanks, dude been struggeling for well over a year now. Now got back the strength I once had but explosive sports like boxing with the snappy movements still hurt. Now have inflammation again. Thanks voor the vid!!
This is great. I’m glad you address nutrition. Just came from the doctor and they only talked inflammation. I brought up a nutritionist and she agreed. I know people who quit wheat (all gmo now anyway) and the inflammation was severely helped.
Yep, modern wheat is an inflammatory agent. And nutrition is the basic building blocks of human function, i'm amazed how much it's ignored and/or avoided in the modern medicine world.
Shoulder tendinitis is caused by Rounded Shoulders, your shoulders are not aligned properly when doing things that involve lifting things over your head, or even just above your shoulders. To fix this, you must stretch the front part of your shoulders and your chest area, and strengthen the back part of your shoulders.
Sure doesn't hurt to do that. And if it works, great! If it doesn't work, or stops working, then one needs to address the reasons that are resulting in that.
hey Adam !! i have Kyphosis which gives me rounded shoulders and i think thats the reason i get tendinitis. My shoulders get inflamed when i workout and i know when i got too far. do you have a program or something for the back and maybe some stretching ?
If you have Kyphosis, you would be well advised to do the work to reverse that and get your posture back to/towards correct position and function.
Good talk thanks. Clear, and slow. Helpful
excellent info , have / had this problem CBD really helped me as well thanks
I agree with everything in this video, although I can't comment on the nutritional aspect. There is a bunch of armpit muscles that need to be released. Didn't even know they were there a year ago!
Mine was brought on by a tight bicep...bought a massage gun and massaged out my bicep and chest after each workout, could feel a big improvement after few days. This was after months of my arms making cracking noises when i raise it and being unable to sleep on my side. Can't recommend getting a massage gun enough if you are having problems.
"bought a massage gun and massaged out my bicep and chest after each workout, "
Smart.
@@TendonitisExpert you’re sassy, life must not be going well
I'm sassy because people say a lot of really dumb and/or mean things on here.
Which isn't the case with this comment you're replying to, it is smart to work on yourself.
I just ordered the ebook. Im excited to read it and get started
Thanks doc, thoroughly explained.
This video's gold, IDK why so many dislikes.
Excellent info!!!
Hey ignore the hate comments, we appreciate the shared knowledge. Thank you
Thanks!
Looking the problem in entirely different angle. Great ideas. Thanks a lot.
Bought your book on the shoulder and really appreciate the psychological aspect stressing the importance of actually doing the work to recover. The techniques are very well-defined and explained for the average person to understand. I've injured my shoulder from over swimming and have been doing light weight training strengthening exercises for the past 4 months but the pain would always return. I continue to swim with a modified technique. After one day up following your instruction I do notice an improvement although I would say there's a slight increase in pain infrequently but in general it feels better. I do have a question that I hope you will answer regarding continuing my lightweight training. I'm performing various exercises using 3 lb weights that are generally not causing pain. Thank you very much and God bless you
Thanks for the good words. Glad you're doing the work, that's how you get results.
What's your question?
Why don't you mark this as advertising to sell a book?
Do you mean, I should remove the last line of the video, the only line that says anything about 'to find out more, check you my program', and instead turn on ads?
It's weird to me how a single line at the end gets people all offended that I might have a business and sell things. Like that line somehow invalidates the valuable information in the video.
Would you rather watch ads?
@@TendonitisExpert Your video has a title of The Secret to Fixing Shoulder Tendonitis but you don't actually tell us how to fix it, as others here have also pointed out.
Yes, the title is 'The Secret to Fixing Shoulder Tendonitis' not 'How To Fix Shoulder Tendonitis'. Very different titles, but people seem to be fixated on that every video of mine should be a 'exactly how to fix tendonitis' video.
pretty useless video dude. in the end it's basically just a book advertisement. If i'm searching for answers on UA-cam and you try to drag me to another website, do you think it's more likely that I'm going to go to another website, or just look for another better video on the site I'm already on and rely on?
I think that there are a billion websites on the internet, youtube being one of them, and that if you are trying to make the argument that youtube is the only place you go on the internet for information of any kind that that is a very very silly argument.
@@TendonitisExpert bro ur video was not helpful and a waste of time and the fact that you're so defensive on every comment reply kinda shows that you're a douche
If calling out dumb things people say in their comments makes me a douche, then ok. I'm certainly not going to let super dumb comments go unchallenged.
'video is a waste of time, was not helpful' is dumb. Calling it dumb isn't defensive, it's just calling it dumb.
Because it's dumb.
Im not a Dr. But im doing the stretches I was shown & shoulder exercises and it seems to be working....when you have impingement there is one part over powering the other...or muscle imbalance I think first you need rest ice compression anti-inflamatory meds then go get aligned by Chiropractor and then immediately if possible get deep tissue massage then repeat rest ice/heat compression and anti-inflamatory meds then after week or so start stretches and shoulder strengthening exercises like Ive been shown...Thanks Andre!
Definitely do that! If it works, great! If not, then you'll know.
thanks for this. ive been diagnosed with rotator cff tendonitis and was explained this. but my tightness is on the upper pecs shoulders. sometimes neck and shoulder blade region. currently going thru PT, will be having my neck and traps undergo tens and ultrasound and deep tissue massage. i was working out 3x a week, overloaded my weights the last three weeks and started to feel strained on my left elbow (diagnosed with tennis elbow) and then shoulder and upper pec strains. i was lifting heavy on skullcrushers and shoulder presses and dummbell rows for back. sleeping on my back can be a pain sometimes because my supraspinatus area would ache. i will headed to your site to find out more on how i can avoid rotator cuff tendonitis. you are a lifesaver doc. love what you do. recommending this channel to friends who weightlift. any foods that can help with nutrition insufficiency?
uummm you know you never said how to deal with the larger muscles? or nutrition? if you gonna mention any of those things have some kind of Info to give on those subjects. This was so not helpful because most people already know what you just talked about over and over about shoulder pain. give us excercises for the large muscles and a list of the nutrition we need to correct this otherwise your so called secrets mean nothing!
1. This video is about what this video is about, so no, it doesn't need anything else.
2. "This was so not helpful because most people already know what you just talked about over and over about shoulder pain. "
I disagree. If people already knew what was in the video, they wouldn't agree to treatment plans that don't address, or adequately address, all three factors.
3. Exercises don't work, in my experience, so I don't talk about those. Maybe they're helpful later, but they don't address the three primary factors.
@@TendonitisExpert Wow, you are just pretty nutty.
@@gailresources8120 This guy is a clown.
I've never done any clowning, but I've been known to do comedy improv.
I agree. Some examples of nutritional deficiency/ insufficiency would be super informative. Maybe that's the PT II to this topic 🙂
why not title it what I'm NOT going to tell ya, seems more appropriate
Sure. And when you watch baseball, you complain that they're not playing football, basketball, tennis, or golf. Dumb baseball!
awesome video thank you so much!
Absolutely superb video. Thank you so much
You're welcome!
General practitioners won't tell you much because GP are "generalists" and its not their job to be a specialist in musclo-skeletal issues. They're more like infectious disease specialists and gatekeepers of emergencies . PT is good but PT is what it is : Kinesiotherapy ( ie : treating by movement ) their job is to re-educate you, they aren't taught about nutrition.
Really the best thing you can do is seeing an osteopath : those guys are specialists of the articulations and muscles equilibrium, if something is causing it they will manually fix it and give you advises on nutrition / massage you can do.
Generally speaking if you can seeing first and osteopath and then a physical therapist to re-educate your shoulder is the best.
PS : you could *technically* see a rheumatologist but since they aren't manual therapists as well they just might give you the usual xray/ultrasound/mri then painkiller bullshit.
Word of advice... STOP responding to negative comments. You just appear defensive and not once...ever... have you or will you win these people over. If needed, just block the trolls, ignore the normal negative stuff, and support the positive viewers. Remember you are at the mercy of any fool who causes you to be defensive.
That's fair. I get bored and it's entertaining (I delete 95% of the nasty comments). And yes, I don't even try to win them over, that's definitely never going to happen. But you bring up a valid bit of advice. I'll stop.
@@TendonitisExpert All I know is my blood pressure has dropped dramatically once I took this stance. In my videos I usually say Constructive is always welcome and delete the rest. People that make nasty comments and those that enjoy reading them are not my target base. Best of luck!
Good advice!
this is exactly what i’m looking for, my father has this issue for about a half year, i really want to know why he didn’t recover from that, I believe it will be easier to avoid it happened again when we know the cause and effect. thx!
Yea I do calisthenics and I enjoy doing the pushing exercises more than the pulling. My shoulders started to round a little. Always hurt in front of the shoulder... I fixed it now. Started doing more back workouts. Fixed the problem :)
Yep. Imbalance causes problems. And with the muscles in the front being bigger than the muscles in the back....it makes A LOT of sense to keep the muscles on the back as strong as possible.
Didn't really tell me anything.
It really did, actually. If you disregard what was said, then you miss the value of it.
I watched to the end and still don’t get the answer how to fix it as the title said
That's not what the title says. It doesn't say 'how to'. It says 'the secret to fixing shoulder tendonitis'.

If I hadn't replied to his comment then you'd complain that I ignored him.
People comment. I reply. That's hardly 'zeroiing in' on 'this comment'. But yeah, whatever helps you feel like youve done your good deed on the internet today.
I noticed my problem started hurting when I switched a regular incline bench to a machine press that started way too low.This caused the initial stress, which caused me to unnoticeably stop myself from keeping my shoulder's depress during routine workouts. Eventually this caused a slight rounding of my left shoulder, barely seeable until I taped myself lifting and studied it repeatedly. While I'm doing the right exercises to heal, I wasn't doing them properly. So I worked my lower traps hardcore style to keep my posture on point allong with things like farmers walks as well keeping that shoulder back. Even though I'm focusing on my shoulder more the pain has significantly decreased in just a few days.
Excellent!
thank you so much!
Are the reasons for inflammation the same as for shoulder impingement? Every arm movement creates a clicking noise in my joint and I’m pretty sure the pain in the middle of my deltoid comes from that
Basically yes. Tightness causes compression. Tightness and compression cause inflammation. All of the above eats up nutrition.
You never gave any information about how to actually fix it.
It's true. Those that prescribe rest, anti-inflammatories, immobilization, 'nerve gliding', 'stretching and strengthening' etc, also arent' giving any information on how to fix it.
I gave information on what exactly needs to be effectively addressed, as per the title of the video.
@@TendonitisExpert I guess it’s so secret you can’t tell us or it wouldn’t be a secret anymore.
Or, the video provided info on what it's title promised, and nothing else. Kind of like when you order orange juice, they give you orange juice. You don't go "Hey! You didn't give me apple juice!"
I guess your body heals itself over time and thats all
@kwombat I wish that were true!
Thanks for sharing the info! I have a few questions, hopefully you can answer them
My problem: i feel irritation in my front shoulder (basically the spot you drew on the video)
1. when I rotate my right shoulder blade I hear a lot of snapping in my back shoulder, is this a sign of tendonitits or muscle tightness, or maybe something else do you think?
2. after stretching for a few months i notice that i have less of an irritating feeling in my front shoulder, should i continue with this and it should eventually resolve, or should i do more?
3. does your book give exact things to do (exercises etc.) to completely resolve everything?
4. how long does it take on average to resolve tendonitis if you follow the steps in your book
Sorry for the many questions, hope you can help me!
1. 100% muscle tightness is a causative facto. 'Tendonitis', maybe maybe not. But Tendonitis Dynamic, absolutely.
2. Should you continue stretching? If it helps, yes. Should it eventually
y resolve with stretching? Possible, but very unlikely. Should you do more stretching? That's up to you. Does more stretching seem like it's more helpful?
3. Yes.
4. Depends on the person and their specific scenario and how they go about doing what needs to be done to fix things. I tell people, do it for a month solidly and seriously, without having an opinion about whether it's working or not. Meaning, whether results come fast or slow, whether the pain was gone by week 2 or 3 or 4 or not, just keep at it. There's a lot happening under the surface of the skin.
In general, if you're not significantly better within a month, contact me and we'll see what youre doing (or not), how youre doing it (or not), and do some fine tuning as necessary.
Hello, thank you for the info and I understand your point, so I know I have tendinitis and maybe bursitis too, I have sharp pains that runs down to my elbow, pains in my biceps and I cannot bend my arm around my back, what's your input on this?
Tendonitis dynamic strongly in place in the shoulder/upper arm.
Bursitis is a symptom of a tendonitis dynamic.
Is heat or cold best for this ?
I have to pick my arm up off the bed in the morning with other hand .
Cold. (flushes fluid out, then you take the cold off, and the body pushes more fluid in to 'warm' it up).
Heavy ice pack (as big and heavy as possible). 2 minutes on, minimally 2-5 minutes off. repeat. Repeat as many times as you're motivated to do. The more the better. Move it around.
(Heat is maybe good first thing in the morning just to help 'warm' it up and get things going, but finish on cold, always.) For instance, wake up, hit the shower, do hot cold hot cold hot cold hot cold always finish on cold.
Do you have an actual rip/tear injury? (You can have even disabling pain without any rip/tear).
I found hot water in the shower helps for a little relief.
Yep. Hot water triggers blood flow to the area. The body likes that. It's better then then go cold hot cold hot cold hot cold. Always end on cold.
Me too .hurts so bad
Was hitting the heavy bag and I struck (more like pushed my weight caused my elbow to go backwards) with my left hand. In a way of a haymaker while my arm is in an L shape. I felt all the pressure go into my shoulder. Immediately pain followed after that and now it hurts whenever I move. My arm gets cold or tingles at times
Probably muscles are stuck in contraction (not relaxing while you sleep, etc,) and thus compressing the nerve. Pec major/minor, scalenes, anything else right in there but those are the big ones.
Possibly you have a small shoulder dislocation or equivalent....not likely but certainly possible.
Thank you for this. I was just diagnosed with shoulder tendinitis but the only recommendation he gave was a cortisone shot.
However, he also said that I am very loose jointed. Me shoulders pop (slightly) out of joint. Unfortunately, when they pop back into place I have excruciating pain, like a nerve was pinched.
So, could this still be tendinitis with such loose joints? Also, my pain is not in one area. Always changes depending on what I'm doing.
Thanks for any clarification.
If you have legitimately loose joints, that means that the ligaments have stretched or you are hypermobile(...which means your ligaments are naturally a little long and don't hold joints as snug/secure as one might want them to).
That's a one way trip, no reversing it, short of strengthening the muscles around the joint so they can do a better job of holding the joint as securely as they can.
If you dislocate easily, that's not tendonitis per se, but you will have all three factors of the dynamic: too tight muscle and connective tissue, inflammation process, and nutritional lack.
" Always changes depending on what I'm doing. " Say more about that.
1. What are your professional qualifications in this area? What do your treatments involve? (in more detail than saying reduce muscle imbalance, inflammation and diet).
Oh, let's see. An initial 1000 hour schooling based in anatomy/mechanics/injury treatment (including cadaver work), plus 650+ hours of supervised hands on practice. Continuing education. 20+ years of practice focusing on tendonitis related pain/injury. Etc.
Program consists of specific hands on work to reverse muscle/connective tissue tightness, shoulder can benefit from icing but not really worth it (vs wrist/hand/forearm, foot/ankle/lower leg which is far easier and effective) though the program talks about a method of doing so if the pain is bad enough, and specific nutrition suggestions (required for most people since, for instance, muscles can't relax if they don't have enough of what they need to be able to stop contracting short). None of the usual stretches or exercises, because, well, not very effective.
Well done! Yes I agree. Nutritional insufficiency accompanied with dehydration (lack of circulation to the inflamed area)
So how do I get to fixed?
www.TendonitisExpert.com/reversing-shoulder-tendonitis.html
I'm nearly 40, female, and have had an issue with my right shoulder for years because I used to carry my backpack on my right shoulder as a teenager (yes Mum, you were right!! Lol). I would say after having epicondilitis treated with EPI here in Spain (successful after 4 treatments), I am pretty sure that it is biceps tendonitis because it hurts before I start exercising and then it goes away with exercise ,and I feel it is due to the whole shoulder being tight. I have hypermobility, for example, but I can't hold my hand behind my back for very long without starting to get tightness and pain. I've started massaging the tendon in my shoulder a few days ago and also stretching using a broom stick. I have also realised through many different videos that the subscapularis is also tight, so I feel like if I could loosen everything in the shoulder, it would solve the problem.
during the first couple weeks do you recommend conducting the massage/ice techniques before and/or after weightlifting?
Yep. Any time. All the time. Every time.
Little bits throughout the day. Or a whole bunch at once. Either way, have to do enough to make change/get the job done.
Excellent presentation. The inflammation is caused by the tightness. The tightness is caused through an imbalance in muscular pulls. Some muscle groups working too hard and others not being allowed to work hard enough.
Why?
You may be left-handed, and have been pulling the shoulder forward and down for years, putting pressure on the joint. You may play sport and be twisting or depressing the shoulder. The reasons are legion ... but they can all be boiled down to the fact that you are putting strain on the area around the joint and restricting free movement. There is no such thing as 'overuse' .. only misuse. This is the WHY.
A good Alexander teacher can work (very gently) on the affected area, encouraging over-tight muscles to release and other muscles to take on more work so the balance of pulls is restored and the pressure on the joint and ligaments is relieved. If the pain and tightness are the result of pulling your shoulder out of its best alignment, then these will disappear because the pressure will be relieved. But it's a whole body approach because sometimes shoulder problems can be related to what is going on with the legs, back or abdomen. An Alexander teacher always works on the whole system, and not just one bit. Thanks for this very informative video.
Retired Alexander teacher.
Ok, u either DIDN’T cover any exercises to do, or I missed it cuz u put me to sleep with ur rambling.
Which was it? 😳
Exercises are very unlikely to fix shoulder tendonitis, which is why you didn't see any in the video. If you're looking for exercises, I'm not your guy.
Outstanding video! Right now i have pain which most likely is in the biceps long head tendon. It is not on the shoulder, but its below it, I would say its from the middle of the biceps up to where the ball bone of the shoulder starts. Any recommendations? Maybe i need more strenght on some small muscles in the area?
Thanks! Definitely do some strengthening if you like. If it works, great (it sometimes does....but 'weakness' has to actually be the problem). In my experience, mostly/usually the problem is 'tightness', which inhibits a muscles ability to work properly/adequately...and making a poorly functioning muscle work harder isn't a great strategy.
Or at least, sure probably some muscles need to become stronger, but definitely too tight muscles need to be restored to full function.
I have the exact same issue and am currently looking for a solution. Do you weight lift? I think I got mine from going to heavy without proper recovery. I can't bench press anymore without the area you described flaring up.
Great session
I feel like you could have been a bit clearer from the start that this video is actually a sales pitch, not a video that is going to help people fix their problem. It presents no solutions. It just categorises possible solutions.
No, it tells you what any 'solution' has to effectively address if it's going to be an effective solution. So what if you watch a video and it tells you to rest and stretch. Yay a solution! But it won't work. And you just wasted time resting and stretching because you overlooked the info in this video.
Can i ask you something bro you seem to know many things everytime im doing any kind of pushing movements at the gym my shoulders make many popping sounds but i dont feel any pain is this bad?
No, it’s normal. Everyone’s shoulder joints are not perfectly fitted. It’s just some movement
The shoulders are the most unstable joint as they have the most range of motion (ROM). If it makes sound, it means, it is not stable and will wear and tear more quickly if you play any sport which requires a lot of overhead motion. Better start shoulder stabilization exercises.
Hmm, my response disppeared, sorry. I don't know if it's bad or not. It just all depends on your scenario. How much popping? How long has this been going on? Same? Worse? Are you a hyper mobile, very mobile, normal mobile, not very mobile person? I'd need more info to have any kind of opinion.
Having said that, popping in general isn't great and it's certainly not ideal, but it's not necessarily problematic. Again, it just all depends on your specific scenario, how active you are/want to be, etc.
Awesome. I have done stretching, EATING healthy, added bone broth, plus vitamins and herbs, and move.
I have a lawn chair outside and use pulleys for both arms. Helps. I have a bone spur, special, I know, and Rheumatoid Arthritis. Motion is lotion. Laying around doing nothing, strengthens nothing. Need muscle to help with everything else. Great vid. Thank you!❤️
Will interior and exterior excersises help strengthen your rotator cuff?
Yes. Exercise makes muscles stronger. But if they're not as functional as they should be and that's why they're 'weak', then no exercises won't make poorly functioning muscles function better.
The secret to this is stretching with a golf club or mop handle. I had dull shoulder pain for 20 years on and off. I watched one video on UA-cam and it instantly got better. The same for plantar fasciitis, one video and I was cured. I noticed that these two videos were no more than 5 mins long. They cut the bs and give you the solution. Happy days.
Stretching is only 'the secret' when stretching will fix the problem. If stretching worked for everybody all the time, everybody would just stretch and ta da I'd be out of business.
That's great your symptoms are down/gone. If you stop stretching, I'm curious how long the symptoms stay away. It's not a good/bad thing, it's just a measure of how well your body is working/functioning.
Streching is a temporary fix in most cases
Weighted stretches are the answer IMO. Also strengthen antagonist muscles.
Curious for your thoughts. How and why do you think that weighted stretches are the answer?
@@TendonitisExpert I've watched Ben Patrick (knees over toes guy) explain how he overcome knee injuries and his philosphy makes sense to me. Explained here:-
ua-cam.com/video/cEyI2f6umXs/v-deo.html
Yep. That makes a lot of sense. It's good stuff.
Is it 'the answer' to tendonitis? In some tendonitis scenarios/progressions? Sure. In all tendonitis scenarios/progressions? Nope.
This really helps.
I am very interested in your approach to curing tendonitis. I personally am a bodybuilder who is dealing with bicep tendonitis that I would describe to be on the advanced side. I stopped all working out for approx. 6 months to come back to pain persisting with in the second workout. Curious what your outlook is on my personal situation...
Yep...rest doesn't work. At all. See: www.TendonitisExpert.com/rest.html
As a general rule, my outlook is 'it's 100% reversible'. Minimally 90% reversible. If you actually have a rip or tear that changes the conversation some, but if you don't, then you have pain with no damage, and that's reversible. Takes some time and effort of course..but basically your body isn't working correctly (and now is stuck in 'can't work correctly' mode). It's just a matter of getting it working correctly again.
So we gotta buy a book for the solution?
Only if you want it.
You didn't tell what to do to fix IT. You only explained what the underlying symptons are. I found this useless other than a link to your web site!
I'm confused by your comment. The video doesn't talk about underlying syptoms at all. It talks about the causes of tendonitis-related shoulder pain, the same caues that keep the pain in place over time, the same causes that can/do make it worse over time.
I’ve had this pain for a while now around 3 years and at first it would be on and off but now it’s consistently there. I feel a lot of tightness and pain on my neck area down to my trap (under my armpit ) like you said. It’s crazy how it’s effecting that whole area. It’s only on my right side. I just I’m so tired of it and it’s really holding me back from continuing what I want.
"at first it would be on and off but now it’s consistently there." Yep, that's how tendonitis goes.
" I just I’m so tired of it " Fix it.

TendonitisExpert Thank you .
Hey Joshua, I have a question for you. I had been weightlifting for about 3 months lifting fairly heavy, and one night I went to sleep and when I woke up, I realized I had fallen asleep on my arm which resulted in numbness. After a few minutes, it went away, but I was left with this pinching shoulder pain. This happened 2 months ago and has improved from a pinching pain to just feeling unbalanced as if it is out of place. I Have seen about 4 different people about it. 2 of them say that it could be tendonitis (specifically supraspinatus tendonitis), and my trusted chiropractor says that I may have stretched or shortened a tendon in my rotator cuff. Was wondering if you had any thoughts on what it could be and if there's a specific area in your book that I should be focusing on. Thank you.
" I may have stretched or shortened a tendon" That's not even a thing. Tendons are like steel cables, not bungi cords. If you 'stretched' a tendon, that would be a one way injury, many tiny small tears to elongate the steel cable. One could conceivable stretch a tendon. But tendons do not shorten.
Muscle can get tight and PULL on a tendon too much, 24/7. THat the prime factor in the tendonitis dynamic, and a likely explanation of your scenario: things had been getting tighter over time, then that night sleeping for any number of reasons something got stuck evern tighter (contracting, flexing). And now while things have loosened up some, you still have certain (parts of a) muscle stuck in contraction, holding you in a different position somewhat making things feel weird, etc.
So what’s the fix ??
I say it's www.Tendonitisexpert.com/reversing-shoulder-tendonitis.html Complete plan of action that counters the causative factors.
Use bands, doing shoulder Flys, front raises, etc. It sounds counter productive because why would I work the part that hurts but that's what actually will facilitate healing. Tendons don't get even close to the same amount of blood flow so their repair of much slower than the muscle. Providing blood to the tendon will provide the oxygen and nutrients your tendon needs to heal! Saved you money on physio. This is for bicep longhead tendonitis
That presumes that the pain etc is from a damaged tendon. But, one can have even disabling tendon pain with no actual damage to the tendon. The tendon is a symptom of a larger problem.
Sure, try exercises etc to see how that goes. Maybe it will help. But if it doesn't get rid of the causes of the tendon pain, or in Elijah's presumed scenario, the 'damage', then it's just wasting time and making things worse.
@@TendonitisExpert if the tendon isn't inflamed or damaged then it isn't tendonitis by definition guy
@@TendonitisExpert tendonitis isn't just tears and rips, inflation is a beginning stage of tendonitis, it is caused by over use of the tendon in which starting symptom of tendonitis is pain after a regular exercise or activity. Resting may hell reduce to an extent but resting after a certain period will not improve the pain because of thr littiteral nonexistent blood flow to it. Healing requires floodflow, that's why inflammation exists is to protect and heal thr damaged area. Once it goes away you're left with pain that won't go away since it hasn't healed fully
@@TendonitisExpert if the pain is infact not from the bicep tendonitis, it's either rotator cuff injury, joint pain, or tendonitis of the chest where it inserts into the shoulder. Tightest in surrounding areas is and will never be a csude of tendonitis due to as you even said in the video RSI. I hated my stage 4 patellar tenonitis this way, im healing both my shoulders this wag after a month of resting to no avail. The only way to heal true tendontis is by working the surrounding muscles to introduce blood flow to thr tendon.
"@TendonitisExpert if the tendon isn't inflamed or damaged then it isn't tendonitis by definition guy"
A. definitions aren't necessarily a match for reality.
B. There doesn't have to be any damage for there to be pain, yet the tendoniitis diagnosis is still levied.
C. I didn't say anything about inflammation in my above reply. My point was along the lines of, one can have even disabling 'tendonitis' pain with no actual damage, and that exercising the muscles to put load on a tendon isn't going to fix the tendon if there's nothing to fix.
Thank you for thisbgreat video, but can you please make another video explaining what to do in all cases you have mentioned, because the information alone doesn't help
Actually, the information in the video alone really does help. And, what you and people in general are looking for is a specific linear step by step how to guide.
Which is here: www.TendonitisExpert.com/reversing-shoulder-tendonitis.html
Thank you!!! That makes sense!!! I will check out your website for the how to part. I understand why you didn't add that in because you need to make a living. People were very harsh on the comments. I'm grateful for this video, doctors these days are a waste of time. Mine didn't do ANYTHING for my shoulder.
I am suffering from shoulder tendinitis. Generally speaking it doesn't hurts always. Even a lot of the time I am able to lift heavy weights. But it specifically hurts during bench presses with heavy weight (with light weights it doesn't hurts). I also have a popping shoulder and this popping increases specifically the next day after my chest and sometimes shoulder workout, it also pains during certain movements. Can you suggest something specific for this. I am visiting a physio regularly for the shoulder strengthning sessions but I would love to hear your suggestions.
Is the popping new or has your shoulder always popped?
What specifically are you doing in PT?
@@TendonitisExpert it always used to pop during certain movements.... And the popping increases after a chest workout (sometimes shoulder workout too). Also sometimes, along with the popping there is a pain and I feet that the movement is not very smooth......
Also my phisio sessions include some very light dumbbell raises(side, front and diagonal), raises while laying down, light shrugs, some resistance band stretches and some against-the-wall presses.
Possibly you naturally have some degree of loose ligaments so the shoulder isn't being held in socket optimally/correctly. How flexible are you? Are you hypermobile at all?
More likely though, the muscle and connective tissue around the shoulder is too tight (and all that comes with that) so the tendons and/or joint can't smoothly move through their regular groove/range of motion and have to 'pop' over something to get where you want to go.
I forgot to ask, is it a joint popping or a tendon popping/making the popping sensation?
@@TendonitisExpert I think it's the joint which is popping.... Though I don't know exactly the difference between a joint popping and a tendon popping. I think it's a joint popping. Also I do not feel a issue with the flexibility but while doing some of the stretchings I feel pain in my affected shoulder but thats not a very severe pain. And I am not hypermobile. Also over the years I have witnessed that my left arm (as my left shoulder is affected) is relatively very weak as compared to my right arm. Specially during bench presses if I go beyond 70-80 pounds, my shoulder hurts really bad when the barbell in down near my chest.
As a general statement then, one or more structure is too tight (and thus not able to produce as much work/strength as it should), and then other things have to compensate, and they get too tight. Then it hurts to bench etc, and then the muscles are compressing the joint so it has to 'pop' to get through a restricted range of motion. That sounds worse than it is, maybe, but ultimately when you sucessfully loosen structures (which lengthens them and stops the compressing etc) the pain and popping will go away.
You didn't give any solutions at all. You only pointed out the problems/causes. This isn't helpful.
Do you really think it's not helpful to understand the actual causes of a problem?
If so, then how can you assess whether any proposed solution has a chance of working or not?
I didn't say that. I said you didn't give any solutions. Knowing the cause and giving a solution to fix it are two different things.
Appreciate the reply BTW.
You said "You only pointed out the problems/causes. This isn't helpful."
I'm just point out that it is incredibly helpful. Doctors etc hand out all sorts of solutions that generally aren't helpful at all. Granted, I'm biased, I work with the people that have done what their doctors and PT's have told them for months and years but still have pain.
"Knowing the cause and giving a solution to fix it are two different things."
I very much agree with you on that. And, when one knows the causes of tendonitis, and then a doctor prescribes rest or anti-inflammatories or surgery, one can do the math and determine that those things ignore the causes entirely and may not be the best direction of treatment.
When one doesn't know the causes, then all one can do is try the next thing the doctor/PT/etc tell them to do.
Really it’s quite simple if you take into account the causes he says. For example he brings into account the lats and pectoral muscles. Tight chest? That’s easy do pectoral stretches. He points out tightness towards the neck, so stretch the traps. Going back to the lats think about tissue quality. Foam rolling etc. Be proactive with the information given.
I had an Ac joint surgery in Aug 2017. 1)ACJ excision 2)Subacromial Decompression.
Now I have tendonosis on my subscapularis and supraspinatus. Recent ultrasound shows that they are mildly inflamed. Now I will have a mild dull pain just at rest. Sometimes the pain will be a horrible stabbing sharp pain for a few seconds and then goes away. I've been struggling with this pain since January. Massage therapy used to eliminate 100% of the pain but I would need to get it once a month. Now, it doesn't really do much to help. PT and chiro say my rhomboids are extremely weak and my left shoulder (surgery shoulder and painful shoulder) is internally rotated. It's super hard for me to beat this because every time I feel better, at some point im all back to ground zero - also I have bad muscle imbalances post surgery because i would avoid using that shoulder. (Pain at rest and then shooting sharp pain that occasionally comes around). I dont really have pain using my shoulder. The pain comes at rest and just chilling.
1)are this symptoms of tendonitis or something else?
2)can i get some tips? stretching? Diet? Massage? etc
3)how to approach physio without pushing too hard to reaggravate? Because ill only know if i push it too hard the next day and not when doing what im doing.
4) I currently swim - Should i stop or continue?
5) Anything to incorporate more in my diet? Flax seed? etc...
I've started taking magnesium biglycinate, glucosamine, MSM, fish oil (on and off) and do not eat lots of sugar. Should i do a daily stretching routine? Should I continue to get massage therapy?
Thank you so much for reading, appreciate your time tendonitis expert.
1. THere is a tendonitis dynamic at play, certainly. Too tight muscle and connective tissue, inflammation process, nutritional lack).
2. I don't do tips or tricks. They don't provide the results one wants. There's a problem, the causes problem needs to be effectively addressed or the problem will continue to be a problem. I of course recommend my complete plan of attack, the Reversing Shoulder Tendonitis program. It deals with the entire ecology including education on the nutrition muscles need to work properly, etc.
3. It hurts after pushing too hard because your muscles aren't working properly, which increases the inflammation process which increases pain, which causes more tightness,, which reduces muscles' ability to work properly....repeat repeat repeat.
4. I don't recommend rest, and activity is an overall positive. I'd keep swimming (obviously don't push till your pain levels are 'bad' or acute).
Great information
I thought you were going to show us how to fix this....that is your headline...or did you just lie to us...
That is not the headline.
@@TendonitisExpert Excuse the fuck out of me.... What is the Secret ? A book ? Go away, doctors, sometimes your just fucking useless.....
LOl. UA-cam wouldn't let your comment be approved. Please post it again but without the bad word.
Like yourself....some doctors are effing useless....So what is the secret ? Buy a book or a coffee cup or Tshirts ??? Go away ..... DARELL
Or a coffee cup? Lol wut?
not really a good presentation in the video, a lot of repetition. I hope the book is better.
The video is not helpful, it is just a bad commercial for your book.
Yep, I'm not the best presenter in the world. And yes, repetition, because I repeat what's A. really important and B. ignored everywhere else and C. often missed by people even when it's repeated.
I'm curious, what do you think of Dr. John M. Kirsch and his Brachial Dead Hang protocol further outlined in his book: Shoulder Pain? The Solution & Prevention. Thank you for the info you've posted thus far. The big muscle vs small muscle description was enlightening.
In general I'm a fan of the idea. Definitely to help with prevention (if only because as a species that ca hang, that can have our arms over our head, we almost never do....So the muscles that should have full-overhead-reach get shorter and tighter and thus less functonal). If everybody (or, just you) hung from a bar a bit every day all their lives, life would be better). As always, there's more to the story, but that's my short answer.
Will it (just hanging from a bar) -fix- shoulder tendonitis? Only one way to find out. Try it for some amount of time and see what happens. I'd wager no, but the proof is in the pudding....and everybody's scenario is a little bit different.) Try it and see what happens.
I’ve had irritated inflamed feeling shoulders for years maybe if I had done those bigger muscle stretches in combination with strengthening function structure improvement program? I would’ve gotten help by now my MRI scan said I had mild tendinopathy one thing I noticed is rotator cuff strengthening exercises just seemed to irritate me external rotation etc although wall slides offered relief. They say letting the tendon rest is going to ruin it and that’s where I’ve been; resting for a whole year almost no load for my shoulder not sure what to do from here?
I'm having shoulder pain for more than 6 months, it decreases by rest (inflammation reduces a little)and return again when I do work. I have done every treatment but I am still suffering from this. Can anyone tell what to do?
You have tried some treatments, not every. Plus rest, etc.
I suggest the Reversing Shoulder Tendonitis program. www.TendonitisExpert.com/reversing-shoulder-tendonitis.html
So you're saying you know more than the doctors and physical therapists since you say they don't know about these things. :) Anyway, thanks for the information in your video.
I very definitely did not say that.
You're welcome. :)
I would be so grateful if you could answer me 2 questions:
No1. Can you develop De Quervain’s Tendonitis from shoulder?
No2. Can you develop a cyst at the front of the shoulder from tendonitis?
Thank you
1. The tendonitis dynamic spreads, so if you have it in your shoulder, makes sense that you could then develop it in your thumb area.
2. Basically yes.
@@TendonitisExpert thank you, really appreciate it
One cause of shoulder tendonitis is a drooping acromion, which causes impingement when the arm is elevated and the toed is pinched into the bone (acromion). Mine resolved when the surgeon created a little more space there and made it clear that I'd need to manage the inflammation proactively after strenuous efforts with a raised arm. hasn't been a problem since. No stretching and no change in diet!!
Before I respond, please define 'droopy' acromion.
I had elbow tendinopathy for about 4 months. Couldn’t do muscle up. Even though i stopped training tricep , it still hurt. I saw a video about books from Tendonitis Expert and women mentioned nutritions. So i bought those vitamins and after 3 days pain is almost gone. It could be a coaccident, but after all it cost like 30 euros and for sure worth trying.
If the body doesn't have the specific nutrition it needs to operate properly, it can't operate properly.
Supplementing as you did (and should probably continue) may or may not be the end of the symptoms in the short term/long term, but it's a really good clue as to what was going on in there.
It turned out that it was ibuprofen which i took to deal with back pain. I didn’t expect it to last 9 hours also I didn’t expect it to remove almost all symptoms . :(. I guess my elbow will hurt for some more time.
Very interesting, and of course not mainstream explanation. I hate to tell you this, but when offering a non mainstream explanation you also need to explain why you know better? Credentials? Thanks.
A. Yo[re right, I probalby should.
B. Credentials don't matter. Or I should say, you hearing credentials doesn't make the info more or less true. If doctors fixed tendonitis, I would have to be in a different profession. (And nobody would be watching my videos, because generally they see doctors first and THEN go looking for other options.
If credential matter most, folks can go see a doctor. If they fix you (short term and long term), great. If they don't, well, their diploma didn't save the day.
Alternate response: I have given my credentials plenty and often in the past here and elsewhere. Turns out, I'm not a doctor, so it seems nobody is sold by my credentials so the bare bones basics of how the human body functions that I describe here still get discounted.
Nowadays I let the content do the talking. If it makes sense, people will move that direction. If it doesn't make sense or people want credentials before they listen or if I talk to fast or to slow or repeat myself too much or draw poorly on the video, etc, etc, etc, then folks are welcome to continue shopping for a fix for their tendonitis problems.
I'm here. They often end up back here anyway after the doctors and PT's and free stretching videos on youtube etc, fail them.
Thank you so much! Pretty sure I have this. Booking a massage right away and getting some vitamins. I'm guessing I'm low on magnesium, my muscles have been spasmsing. I'll lay off the arm/ shoulder workout at the gym for now.
Yep, anything there's twitch/spasm/cramp, magnesium is the way to go. Other electrolytes too of course, but all in all, magnesium.
Keep the arm/shoulder moving, use it but try to keep symptoms at 'good pain' level and not 'bad pain' level. (meaning, use it up to a certain point.)
I am not seeing doctors for this kind of pain. Not anymore. I study the problem, look what causes it and with lots of patience every problem can be fixed. Doctors go for quick fixes because patients otherwise get mad. There’s always tons of possible causes. My pain is in shoulder and biceps, some days in upper back. Can lift arm really well but cannot bring it further back than to the side. Thanks for this video for additional input.
