  • Biceps Tendonitis (a.k.a. bicipital tendonitis) is an inflammation or irritation of the long head of the biceps tendon. When it gets irritated, it can be very painful and limit movement in the shoulder. Buy a worksheet with these stretches & exercises at www.askdoctorj...
    The biceps tendon is a strong, cord-like structure that connects the biceps muscle to the bones in the shoulder.
    To stretch the biceps muscles and tendons, you can stand in a doorway or use a sturdy chair to hold onto. With your palm open facing in front of you, place it on the sturdy chair or doorway and lean forward bringing your shoulder forward and across your body. Hold that for 30 seconds and do it three times.
    Another way to stretch them is to use the seat of the chair, and place your palm down on it with your fingers facing away from you. Turn around so your arm is behind you, and again lean forward and push your shoulder in front of you and slightly across your body. Hold for 30 seconds and do three of them.
    Now you are going to sit in a chair and use a resistive band. Anchor the band onto something sturdy or have someone hold onto it for you. This exercise will be for internal rotation. Anchor it to a table leg, in a door, or have someone hold it for you. If you want to roll up a small towel and place it between your side and your elbow, this will keep your arm close to your side through out the exercise. Keep your elbow at about a 90 degree angle and your thumb up towards the ceiling. Slowly pull your arm and the band in towards your stomach, and then slowly come back out. You don’t need to come back out far, just to where your forearm is straight out in front of you. Start off with 10 of these, and then work your way up to 20-25. If that becomes easy, then move up with resistive bands.
    Now you will do a shoulder external rotation. The band will be on the outside of your body. Start off with your arm at your stomach. Try to keep your elbow by your side through out the exercise. If you want to roll up a small towel and place it between your elbow and your side, this will keep your arm close to your side through out the exercise. Keep your elbow at about a 90 degree angle and your thumbs up towards the ceiling. Also try to keep your wrist in a neutral position. You don’t want to over stress your wrist, and then have a wrist injury. Slowly pull arm out away from your body, and then slowly come back in. Start off with 10 of these, and then work your way up to 20-25. If that becomes easy, then move up with resistive bands.
    The last exercise is bicep curls. You can step on the band, and keep your elbow by your side. Pull all the way up and all the way down. Make sure you are doing the full motion to maximize working the muscle. Make sure you are controlling the band; don't let the band control you!

But it doesn't hurt that much when it makes a pop or crack sound, it just hurta when i try to massage it and i feel a hard type of muscle that stucked in one place in my bicep. I haven't lost my strength tho and hopefully not cause I'm still a teen ager (18) and I've been searching for it if what is this annoying thing I've been dealing with for almost a year now. But i researched some in Google trying to find what it was, and it seems to be a "bicep tendonitis cause i play a lot of computer so i probably got it from computer mouse use.

My therapist is doing a great job and I'm definitely seeing some improvement after 5 weeks so far. Most of my soreness/pain seems to come from biceps and side of the arm when I'm doing exercises which I know can be an issue with slap tears.

    • @AskDoctorJo
      @AskDoctorJo  Рік тому

      Gentle stretches and exercises help decrease inflammation by improving circulation. It also helps keep the muscles/tendons lengthened so they don't heal in a shorted position and/or with scar tissue, which can cause chronic problems or risk for re-injury in the future. If there is any way you can see a physical therapist in person, they should be able to help you figure out a specific program for you and help answer your questions.

It took 1 yr to get back to a good strength, and 2017-18 were good years. Popping was mild in my shoulder even after the 2nd surgery but it got a progessively worse at the end of 2018.

    • @AskDoctorJo
      @AskDoctorJo  5 років тому

      You're welcome! Sorry to hear. Sounds like that should have been done in the first place. Since the biceps tendon is attached to the labrum, it can cause pain, irritation, and even loss of stability from constant pressure on it. And if you had a dislocation in the past, it was probably already compromised. If you've already tried PT that long, it might be worth considering it. You will just need to decide if it's affecting your quality of life enough for another surgery.

    I have pain in bicep and elbow joint. Only difference is that the pain is not in outside or lateral. But it is inside elbow. right where the bicep muscles is starting. I have seen your tennis/golfer elbow stretches. But it is not helping me. Can you please suggest any other stretch.

    Hi Doctor,
    I have mostly pain/discomfort in the front of my shoulder, especially if i do a lateral raise's move.
    So could this be my biceps long head that is affected or would it be rather my supraspinatus (but it doesn't matter at all when my physician do resistance's test on it) ?
    Best regards

    • @AskDoctorJo
      @AskDoctorJo  7 років тому

      It could be either unfortunately, or even an impingement. Did you have a specific injury?

    Love your videos Doc! You communication and technical skills are excellent. But I have to say, your disclaimer alert takes the cake!
    I get bicipital tendonitis about 6 hours after a TRX workout and stay for days. These stretches instantly helped.
    Looking for your suggestions on should I lay off workouts for a few days? and when to incorporate these into my routine (before or after)?
    Thanks!

    • @AskDoctorJo
      @AskDoctorJo  4 роки тому +3

      Thanks :-) It might be worth holding off for a day or two, or at least go lighter on your workouts. If you have time, I would do them before and after, but at least before. Good luck!

    also I have a subuxated bicep tendon in my right shoulder. does that mean I tore my Subscapularis rotator cuff tendon??
    please reply.

    I've had this for decades now, since high school basketball. If I do this every day, roughly how long should it take before I could go back to the gym without my shoulder getting inflamed? A month or two?
    And who was the mystery person holding the band?!?!

    • @AskDoctorJo
      @AskDoctorJo  7 років тому

      Have you had imaging done? That seems like a really long time for tendonitis. I would really recommend getting it checked out to find out for sure. Mystery person?? It's magic :-) Good luck.

    • @seanhansen5641
      @seanhansen5641 7 років тому

      Yeah, I got an MRI done a few months back. They said it was just inflamed. I didn't meant to say it's been continuous since high school, it just started then. Flares up after a month or two of regular workouts or repetitive overhead work.
