Ok, I have been working out since a while now, and my bicep soreness used to stay for roughly 4-5 days, but this massage has completely change my biceop recovery and it gives me so much relief,thank you so much ma'am
dean urbaniak I feel your pain 😂 turned out it put the pain away but only meanwhile I massaged it, like 20 minutes later it locked again. I woke up really confused and in a lot of pain, after it went away I missed having it😂
This technique is so great and really helps to break up the muscle tightness, especially after arm workouts. It also has a complementary effect with your excellent self-massage videos that help relieve tennis elbow and golf elbow. Thanks a million, Rachel!
I'm so glad it helps with your muscle tightness. Great idea to use it after arm workouts! (Massage also reduces delayed onset muscle soreness from exercise.)
I moved to this video and did it before sleeping. Hope this helps me a lot to have a better quality of sleeping tonight. Thanks Rachel. Hugs from Indonesia.❤
Amazing! I don't know which has been more healing ... your expert teaching on specific muscle relaxation OR your soothing loving spirit and voice! I've tried SO MANY things and am so relieved to feel better than ever! Bless you, Rachel!
Thank you so much!! This is just what I needed! Had my first workout focusing only on arms about three days ago. My arm was so sore that I could barely extend it past 90 degrees. It's still uncomfortable and sore. But I can move better now.
1st Alhamdulillah.. 2nd, Thank you very much ma'am.. it works.. I really appreciate it.. I just follow what you did and it works.. really helps.. thanks again ma'am..
The first week of lockdown in March here in the UK I was sorting my clothes. I tried a tight top on, took it off in 2 seconds with my arms crossed over and I've been in agony for months ever since! I'm trying everything to ease the pain so will try this. Thank you xx
This video helped so much, It definitely helped with the pain I was feeling. I'm always picking my kids up and notice by the end of the day my arms are very sore.
Thank you very much Rachel,I trained my biceps and had pain but now after your exercises i feel much better.I usually never comment on youtube but this time I just had to.
Thank you, the area between the arm and the wrist (I suddenly forgot the name of it) was a little sore after I slept on top of it last night, these massages helped
Thank you so much my arm was stuck In a right angle all day and it was hard to put it down and until I watched your video I felt great and now it’s fixed and this pain was also caused from working out intensely.
Today I was trying find something to help with my right arm the muscle feel stiff and it hurt like stingy feeling I had my lymph nodes remove from breast cancer I had And I was doing well with all exercises and dry brushing and then radiation swell my arm again I kinda did the exercise but got lazy on them And I was not getting better And then I got frustrated that I couldn’t go back as much I did exercise And I try this tonight and I done it twice and I feel the difference a little I’m keep doing it until my arm is better in movement I’m glad I went to your video💪🏼
OMG!!!!! I rate this vedio 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯 please try out! This works for me before end of the vedio! Woah! I really like it! Thank you so much! I could release my pain so fast! 👌👌👌👌👌👌
Is the direction of hand movement during massage ( that is, massaging either from elbow towards the shoulder joint or viceversa) important or any of these direction of movements can be chosen.
Excellent question! It's great to do both directions. That way, you stretch the tissue in both directions. When you do active release, working towards the moving joint will be a gentler stretch than moving away from the joint.
Thank you for your request. Our triceps are almost always a weaker muscle. We are flexion dominant, and our daily positions and movement patterns don't rely very heavily on the triceps. Normally, I encourage strengthening the triceps, instead of releasing.
After I text on my smartphone for just a little bit or scroll on my smartphone the outside of my bicep always gets real sore. Any recommendations or suggestions?
You will need to examine your posture and the way you are holding and using your phone. A skilled massage therapist can help you with this. I would also suggest minimizing phone use until you are fully healed.
Great question. If there is no inflammation, you can try the massage once a day and monitor your response. If it feels good and you're tolerating it well, you can try twice a day. You can also take a couple of your favorite techniques and do mini-massages several times throughout the day. You can then taper off as it feels better, and do the massage once every 1-2 weeks for maintenance. The general rule of thumb is, listen to your body. If it feels good and you're making progress, you're doing it right.
Hello! I'm a pianist and am in a lot of pain. I started pain-free since I was a kid, but now I've gotten to a point I almost can't play like my former self. The points I'm tense in are my lower part of the biceps and the part between my shoulder and armpit. The bigger problem is my arm feels too heavy, unsupported. What shall I do? I feel the problem is deeper in my case (than a sore biceps).
@@rachelrichardsmassage9660 I was evaluated and it turned out to be cervical instability- an apparently unrelated cause of the pains.. And poor posture. 😅 Thank you for the exercises! They brought me relief in the week leading to the evaluation.
Namaste Mam 🙏🏻 please help me, nothing was there, but can't say suddenly but slowly my mom's biceps muscle's a proper area became automatically stiff or hard. So now she can't move her arm completely and it's also very painful. So please Mam tell me that, is this curable??? & Please suggest something, & is this process can she apply???
If you are experiencing pain, you need to lighten your pressure or change your location. If it's "good pain," which can be an intense sensation of pressure but also a significant relief, that's beneficial. If your pressure is making your muscles tense up, you need to back off.
@@rachelrichardsmassage9660 thank you so much, I’ve been doing it for the past few months because it’s been working out and I ended up finding a nice pressure and it feels amazing 💝 Perfect after workout massage!! Your headache videos are also a life saver. Like there’s two of your headache videos in particular that have basically cured my migraines and tension headaches lol
actually doing this actullay making less painful now, just sleep and rest, and the muscle tissue will heal itself and we can start working on my arm againnn
Ok, I have been working out since a while now, and my bicep soreness used to stay for roughly 4-5 days, but this massage has completely change my biceop recovery and it gives me so much relief,thank you so much ma'am

I’m stuck at 120 degrees
It worked! I thought I was to suffer this pain for the next days but in just one night, the pain was gone! Thank you 😊
The squeeze and pull did it for me. Thanks you're amazing!!

Thank you so much my arm was stuck In a right angle all day and it was hard to put it down and until I watched your video I felt great and now it’s fixed and this pain was also caused from working out intensely.
I started gym 5 days back, after a long break.
The pain has been there from past 3 days.
If this video doesn't help.
Doctor here I come
how long was your break?
@@jottaz144 almost 6 months
6 months without any exercise??? That should be much more than enough
@@jottaz144 yep. I didn't want to take that break. but I had a ligament tear due to football and then had some important exams so I had to stop.
@@shivankitss8396 i think what you had was worse than a tendonitis
My biceps were killing me the first two days after I started the gym and these stretches really helped
I'm so glad! Remember to stretch after your workouts too.
Thank you so much, feel so much better. Had to do the other arm before the last stretch though.
Oh I feel it alright I REALLY FEEL IT
Thank you so much, i cant stretch my arms for 2 days but this is so effective.
Wow, this is amazing! Thank you so much!
Happy to hear it!
Just by watching where u are and by hearing that sound at the back, I fell better
Today I was trying find something to help with my right arm the muscle feel stiff and it hurt like stingy feeling
I had my lymph nodes remove from breast cancer I had
And I was doing well with all exercises and dry brushing and then radiation swell my arm again
I kinda did the exercise but got lazy on them
And I was not getting better
And then I got frustrated that I couldn’t go back as much I did exercise
And I try this tonight and I done it twice and I feel the difference a little
I’m keep doing it until my arm is better in movement
I’m glad I went to your video💪🏼
I'm so glad this was helpful for you, Patty! Stay tuned - I'm going to do a video on self-massage for women who have been treated for breast cancer.
Thanks Rachel.

I had injections done a few days ago so when is it best to start these exercises
Cortisone injections? Generally wait about 2-3 days, but it's always best to ask your doctor.
Thank you mam very useful
Thanks! That helped!
Thanks Woman
Could you make some release for triceps? thank you
Thank you for your request. Our triceps are almost always a weaker muscle. We are flexion dominant, and our daily positions and movement patterns don't rely very heavily on the triceps. Normally, I encourage strengthening the triceps, instead of releasing.
@@rachelrichardsmassage9660 thank you! ♥️
My arm feels like I just wrapped it in a nice hot towel lol. I love this!
Wonderful 😊
Thank you so much. This worked really well for me, I did way too much lifting to my arms 2 days ago 😂
So glad it helped! Thanks for sharing :)
O thank u mam for the pain relief

Thanks a lot I couldn't strech my hand
suddenly i woke up with my left bicep pain, though I don't do sports. Think i slept on my side too long, will your therapy help?
Only one way to find out!
I feel better
thank you :0)
You're very welcome, Nathan!
Namaste Mam 🙏🏻 please help me, nothing was there, but can't say suddenly but slowly my mom's biceps muscle's a proper area became automatically stiff or hard.

My neck and arms are killing as it is not hurting but annoying
holy shet it worked!
Can't go past 90 degrees lol.
Can't do most of this
Are you recovering from an injury, Vince? Generally, it's best to start slow and take it day by day. Over time, your range of motion should increase.
Didnt work for me, better cut my arm off lol
@Anahit Sergeeva Wth?? I'm dying of arm pain and you're sending this, I'm looking for answers....
Triceps
Just to clarify, are you requesting a video on self-massage for triceps? I would be happy to add it to my list.
Everyone is stuck at a 90 angle and has probably been through the same struggles
me searching for this vid while my left arm on 90 degrees mode
actually doing this actullay making less painful now, just sleep and rest, and the muscle tissue will heal itself and we can start working on my arm againnn
I’m in a lot of pain :’/
What is this you are not from this planet
Possible from heaven
lol just no...
Too much blah blah
Thank you very much
My pleasure!
I had three cortizon shots in one year
Thanks so much. Very helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
