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
@@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.
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?
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👍
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.
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.
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
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.
@@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 TH-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.
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.
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
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).
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.
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.
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.
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 ?
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!
Sir, your 8-minute video is better than the 6 hours I spent today in the emergency room for tendonitis pain. I prefer to pay 30$ with good results than spending 200$ on orthopedics with no results. Thank you
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.
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.
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.
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.
I have pain and weakness right in the front of the shoulder. No bench press for many months. I started using his Ideas and program. Start using light weight that gives a small amout of pain and work thru it but not over do it. ice and repeat.
@@TendonitisExpert the fact you would zero in on this comment and answer with this says all I need to know about you and why your dislikes are half of your likes. But yeah, whatever helps you sleep at night, man.
I'm a bad person because I replied to his comment? Uhmm....ok. 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.
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.
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.
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🙌
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.
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 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.
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!
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.
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 TH-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.
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!
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
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?
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.
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!❤️
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.
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.
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.
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.
Hi. Thanks for the feedback (some people think it should jsut be 60 seconds! :) Good news/bad news, the video is established enough it goods good views/comments/traffic, so it's gotta stay. It's not perfect, admittedly, and I'm glad you thought it was very informative.
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’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. www.TendonitisExpert.com/reversing-shoulder-tendonitis.html If you've had neck injury/whiplash, www.TendonitisExpert.com/reversing-whiplash-tendonitis.html may be a better choice, depending.
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.
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.
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.
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!
The video explains what needs to be addressed to actually fix shoulder tendonitis. Which is very useful if you're selecting a treatment option. Because why spend time and money on treatments that arent going to and won't work? Like rest, anti-inflammatories, splints and braces, etc.
@@TendonitisExpert you directly said fixing shoulder tendinitis you already listed the problem you did not say help find what causes the pain you said fix shoulder tendinitis and you did not give fix
The video delivers on it's promise: the secret to fixing shoulder tendonitis. The three factors that must be effectively addressed. If you don't effectively address all three, you wont have 'a fix'. Which is why you're still looking for solutions. If you think that knowing that is a waste of time, well, the best of luck to you out there.
Hi, good job...at the end of september 2019 i had an accident at my job where i hurt my knee...During my recovery from it i suddenly couldn't get my arms up anymore, my neck hurt even my hips seemed to be blocked...I even couldn't get my socks on in the morning, my whole body was blocked... Dokter, fysiotherapist didn't help...An osteopat helped me a lot by deblocking the hips... about three weeks ago i did an echographie and MRI and it was clear that i have an inflammation of the biceps tendon on my left and right side, the right one was bigger...So when i saw your video on this topic, i was glad to find an explanation for it...I would like to buy your Ebook on reversing it, it's an inflammation of the biceps tendon on the upper end, and i have more pain in the schoulders , not at all when i straighten my arms.Should i go then for the shoulder tendonitis Ebook? thanks a lot, it makes all sense what you're saying so i hope to gett rid of it in the nearby future.
The belated answer is, the Reversing Shoulder tendonitis is for symptoms up at the shoulder (basically). The Reversing Bicep Tendonitis program is more for bicep (middle of upper arm) and elbow end of the upper arm symptoms. How did things go with the arm?
pretty useless video dude. in the end it's basically just a book advertisement. If i'm searching for answers on TH-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.
I've been selling for 12+ years, and still find it odd that there just isn't anything out there about the programs, good or bad (a couple random instances here and there). I don't worry about it too much, I offer a no questions asked money back guarantee. I would of course prefer that you give it a solid attempt.
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.
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.
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.
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!"
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
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.
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.
You should probably remove the word "fixing" from the video title, since the entire video was dedicated to complaining about doctors' shortcomings with regards to treatment, rather than how to fix or treat shoulder issues as the title implies. There's no fix, help, or treat advice anywhere on this, just a critique of those who don't fix, help, or treat. The words that come to my mind are "irony" and "clickbait".
1. "You should probably remove the word "fixing" from the video title, since the entire video was dedicated to complaining about doctors' shortcomings with regards to treatment, rather than how to fix or treat shoulder issues as the title implies. ....just a critique of those who don't fix, help, or treat." Wow. You rely heavily on massive exaggeration. Or you're just lying to be dramatic. I can't really tell. 2. The title is 'what's the secret to fixing shoulder tendonitis'. It is not titled 'how to fix shoulder tendonitis'. Thus, it doesn't describe how to fix, it describes what needs to be effectively addressed that the usual methods ignore (yes, the methods doctor employ partially and completely ignore the factors that cause tendonitis). Oops, I just spend my ENTIRE reply complaining about doctors' shortcomings.
@@TendonitisExpert Maybe you should read comments from others, also using the word clickbait, before being defensive. I'm not the only one who watched this video and had that thought. Changing the title to something more appropriate would spare you the trouble of talking to liars - er, exaggeraters - like me in the future, but I guess you'd rather have the clicks. You identify 3 things (tightness, inflammation, and nutritional deficiencies) but don't offer any solutions to any of those problems, let alone all 3 (isn't the word "fixing" somewhere in the title?). For example, you mention that pain can be exacerbated by the lats and pecs being larger than the delts, but mention no solutions (Should I have them surgically reduced? Get a bodybuilding coach and develop canonball deltoids?). You repeatedly mention nutritional deficiencies, but identify none of them ... I understand that you want to make a profit, but this video is nothing but an 8 minute advertisement. If you get defensive when people call it what it is, perhaps you should try being a little more honest about it from the very beginning. If you're going to call me a liar, perhaps you should stand in front of a mirror first. This video is nothing but an infomercial.
I read all comments. Fun fact: f I changed the title to something more 'appropriate' some people would still complain about something. People like to complain. So what if it's an 8 minute advertisement. It fulfills on the title, and tells you the secret to fixing shoulder tendonitis, which is that you have to effectively address the three factors (that common treatment methods partially or completely ignore, which is why people that tried all those prescriptions from their doctors etc are here on youtube watching these videos). If people like you actually 'called it what it is', that's what they'd say.
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.
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
www.TendonitisExpert.com/reversing-shoulder-tendonitis.html That contains the how and the what. Multi-factored problems requires a multi-factored plan of attack.
Magnesium is a major player. It takes calcium for a muscle fiber to fire and magnesium for a muscle fiber to stop firing. And we generally have plenty of calcium.
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.
Hey bud nice video. I don't want to get too far down this rabbit hole, but you just described the failing of modern medicine: Treat the symptom(s) not the cause.
I hate to say it, but that does certainly seem to be the case. As evidenced by most of modern medicine seeming to believe and argue that things like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthirits, and diabetes, for instance, are incurable.
Sorry, there's no magic bullet. No magic pill. One has to (if one wants to get rid of the problem) spend at least a couple minutes learning about the problem, then another couple minutes (at least) to learn about how to fix the problem, and then AT LEAST a couple minutes doing enough of the right things to reverse the causes of the problem.
great video. If I take my left arm and put it behind my back, I can reach up and touch my right shoulder blade. My right arm, I can barely move it past my waist, been like this since the fall. Finally went to doctor and ultrasound showed tendonitis. He just gave a couple stretching motions to do for a few months. I started going to a chiropractor and they are doing tens/ems machine and stretching but little improvement. I think these treatments are useless.
1) What about impingement? 2) What nutritional insufficiency? 3) How do you treat inflammation? 4) How do you treat Muscle tightness and imbalance? 5) Why do Doctors not know this? They went to Med School for 4 years and Orthopedic Surgeons had an extra 5 years of training and shoulder experts went to an extra 2 years of fellowship. 6) What makes you an expert? What training do you have?
1. What about impingement are you asking? What about it? 2. The insufficiency that keeps muscles from being able to work properly. 3. In a tendonitis context? A. effective icing (NOT 20 minute ice packs) and B. removing the causes of the inflammation, which is tightness, ultimately. 4. I don't deal with 'imbalance'. There's a lot of ways to TRY to treat tightness, but some work, some don't work, and some can't work. The trick is to use tools that are actually effective at getting the result you want. 5. The why is irrelevant. What is relevant is, with all that schooling etc, why did they fail to get rid of your tendonitis? Also, surgeons don't reverse tendonitis or even try to (because they're surgeons, so all their schooling wasn't about getting rid of the causes of a problem, it was about attacking the symptoms), they ignore all the causes and cut into tissue that is exhibiting symptoms. 6. What makes anybody an expert? Schooling, practice, application, training, specialization, etc. But it's not even about being an expert, per se. There are a lot of experts, both self proclaimed and organization proclaimed, that regularly fail to fix any particular problem. What matters is, can they get rid of the causes of the problem?
Sure, #2 is easier to attack than #5. But you're still welcome to answer why doctors and all their schooling (which makes the superior to me, right?) didn't fix the problem. The non tautological answer to #2 is in the program.
@@TendonitisExpert . You sure know how to dance around with words. I guess the real secrets are in your book that we need to buy. Just out of curiosity. What is your background? Education? Why do YOU know more than Doctors? And btw, not all orthopedic surgeons want to “cut into tissue” as you stated. Some practice sports medicine and they advocate non surgical treatment first.
Unfortunately, tips and tricks just aren't going to cut it. Not if you want to fix the problem, anyway. Most things take a complete plan of attack if you want it to get done right. I recommend the program.
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.
@@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.
I am struggling with exactly this. Have been for physio treatment but still walking with pain for almost 2 yrs now. How can I get hold of your fixing tendinitis program? I went to the website but could not find anything on tendinitis.
MY GP diagnosed me a torn muscle in my shoulder... Is this the same that tendonitis? Can be treated in the same way as tendonitis? Or what's the treatment for a torn muscle on the shoulder? Thank you for your advice.
An actual muscle tear is rare, it's usually the tendon or where the tendon blends in to muscle. 1. Where exactly is the tear? 2. Did you get an MRI or equivalent? If not, how exactly did the GP diagnose a tear? 3. The tendonitis dynamic is present, yes. Too tight muscle and connective tissue, inflammation process, nutritonal lack.
@@TendonitisExpert Hi, according the MRI the tear is in the upper right arm, a couple inches down the shoulder. The pain is intense during the night and by holding the arm to shoulder level, not normal position or lifting up. Thank you for your help.
Have had this in each shoulder for seven years. I think it started in high school because I worked out each part of my body and, like an idiot, didn't do my shoulders because I thought it wasn't important. Boy was I wrong. So after seven years of the pain and weakness, and after stretching and trying physical therapy, I decided to go and get cortisone shots yesterday. The doctor said the anti-inflammatory shots should fix my shoulder problems. The current pain is so bad but that is probably because of the shots. In a few days it should be better and I should have less shoulder pain than I've had in seven years. When it's better I will start stretching and working out my shoulders, not making that fucking mistake again. Hopefully this works!
Yes, Reversing Shoulder Tendonitis shows you how to reverse the tendonitis dynamic - too tight muscle and connective tissue, chronic inflammation, and nutritional insufficiency. $29.97 www.tendonitisexpert.com/reversing-shoulder-tendonitis.html Recommended nutrition will cost you some too, you can get that locally based on my suggestions, or through me.
My shoulder condition hasn't changed, even after three weeks. I'm now taking physical therapy for, as of now, twice a week for six weeks. My physical therapists said that I have tight pectoral muscles, which are pulling my shoulders forward, and weak shoulder muscles. Every session they stretch and massage (albeit not pleasant) my shoulders, and then I do some very lightweight shoulder exercises. After the PT script is finished, one of my PTs advised that I see a chiropractor because my shoulder blades need adjustment. So I concluded it isn't tendinitis but rather tight pecks and weak shoulder muscles.
It's a job injury and they don't want to pay you for your suffering. So they have people make these kinds of videos to claim your job injury is caused by bad nutrition.
All shoulder tendonitis is a job injury? Who pays for all these misdirectional videos to be made to save on workmans comp claims? Why don't they pay for higher production values? This definitely qualifies as one of the most random comments this channel has received.
@@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:- th-cam.com/video/cEyI2f6umXs/w-d-xo.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.
Hey, very informative video! I think I could use some help/ advice. I started training calisthenics around 2019. I trained at home, including a pullup bar for pull/ chin ups. This bar was in my door frame. The problem was that I had bad technique, I think because I had not enough space in the door frame to freely widen my arms during pull ups. Therefore the pressure went on my elbows, and I started getting elbow pain. I quit training for 2 weeks, it was gone, but made the same mistake. Trained the same way, Same result. It didnt go away as fast. I went to my doctor and she told me I can still do dip/ chest exercises but need to rest and avoid back exercises. I also had pain in my wrists and shoulders. But so I continued training chest for some time and I think it made my injuries much worse. Now I’ve not trained like that in about a year and a half, I went to physical therapy, rested for a few weeks/ months and started strengthening exercises and stretches. What really helped me was finding movements/ positions that were painful for my arm (shoulder/ wrist mostly, as I think that was the cause for my elbow pain) and stretching in those positions. I saw good progress. The tightness became more loose and kinda less painful. However, although improved, I still have pain, popping in my shoulders and wrists, I think its still tendonitis and is inflamed. I once had an xray taken of my elbow because the of the pain there but they said everything was fine, so I think my shoulder and perhaps wrists are the cause of my elbow pain. Is it possible to have permanent damage? I’m really worried about it as training is by far one of my most favourite hobbies and I haven’t properly done it for a year and a half. Its also worth mentioning Im quite sure I have carpal tunnel syndrome aswell, although this too has improved TONS thanks to the stretches I mentioned, though still not gone. I would love to hear your thoughts/ opinion about this and perhaps advice on what I should do. I am a 20 year old guy and have been doing sports since childhood, if that matters. Thanks in advance!
Is it possible there's permanent damage? Sure. Is it likely? From what you said, no. Well, let me rephrase that...if you don't do the right things to reverse the pain causing dynamic, then it's predictable that the pain will continue (might go away with rest but when you come back to being active it will be right there). Not because you have injury (actual damage), but because of the three factors in the video. Stretching at best addresses -none- of those factors. So as you've experienced, stretching helps some. You have to address all three factors, effectively, if you want to reverse the causes of the pain. You're 20. The kind of symptoms you describe have been showing up in people earlier and earlier, even in the 20+ years I've been in practice. Why? Poor nutrition in food, lifetime low vit d levels, estrogenic foods, etc. MAYBE there's something specific physically that sets you up for the symptoms you're describing, but I doubt it. Overall your'e short on nutrition, so things get tight and stay tight, inflammation process makes things hurt more and get more tight and use up more nutrition, etc. Your muscles can't function properly. I of course am going to suggest that you get and start working with my Reversing Shoulder Tendonitis program, because it addresses all three factors (and nothing else out there does).
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.
1. Tendonitis doesn't need healing since there's no actual rip/tear injury...and what wear and tear there is to the tendon, even tendonosis, the tendon is a symptom not the problem. Yes one can reverse the tendonitis dynamic without surgery. 2. How long it takes depends on how 'bad' yours is and what you do or don't do to reverse the dynamic. 3. When you reverse the tendonitis dynamic you restore your muscle's ability to function, so you'll be as strong as you can be.
The biggest issue with this video is that the info is very old. The condition has been retermed tendinopathy because we have a much better understanding of the tendon inflammatory process now, and it doesn't get inflamed like other structures do. Tendinopathies are largely based on the simple premise of overloading the tendon. Yes, this might be due to poor nutrition or other factors , but largely it is simple mechanics. If you go to the gym and you try to bench press 200% more than normal, you will overload the tendon and it will kick start a repairing process that is quite painful. Then it's simply becomes a problem that everyone's day today life is simply too much for the tendon and people do not give it enough rest only propagating the process.
“Then it's simply becomes a problem that everyone's day today life is simply too much for the tendon and people do not give it enough rest only propagating the process.If rest fixed chronic tendonitis/tendinopathy, that would be great. In the vast majority of cases, it doesn’t. Said another way, if rest worked, people would just rest and then be pain free and nobody would spend months and years trying to get help from doctors and other professionals. If only it worked that way! That would be awesome, and I would be doing something else for a living. Or I guess I could just charge people to tell them to rest, and I'd be seen as a miracle worker. "Rest! That will fix your problem!" But unfortunately rest doesn't work. (Sure on a bell curve there's one far end where it does for a few people/scenarios). Also unfortunately, that misunderstanding about how tendonitis/tendinopathy works is part of why doctors waste peoples’ time etc with the first round of prescriptions consisting of ‘rest and inflammatories’. www.tendonitisexpert.com/rest.html www.tendonitisexpert.com/anti-inflammatory.html “Yes, this might be due to poor nutrition or other factors , but largely it is simple mechanics.” This is another massive flaw in your argument, which unfortunately is matched by the AMA, hospital policy, etc nationwide. One can’t (well, one shouldn’t) separate nutrition (or other factors) from ‘simple mechanics’, because they are one and the same. This incorrect view of how the human body works is, again, part of the cause of people wasting months and years of time and effort and money trying to get help/answers from doctors and other professionals. Show less
I agree that rest will not fix a tendinopathy every time, but I would argue that it's largely because most people shoot straight past the rest window not giving themselves the appropriate "relative rest" from the activities that they were doing. That is, going to work and doing the same thing as normal - pushing through it hoping it will improve with time alone. I should've been more clear and said 'reactive tendinopathies'. Anti inflammatories in this phase are acceptable, although largely unhelpful. Not allowing appropriate rest changes slowly forces them into the dysrepair phase and yes, it then becomes an issue of mechanics, with more modern research viewing tendon rehab as an issue of "tolerance". If you reduce your load to a level the tendon can tolerate, the healing process will be effective. If you overload the tendon to a level that it can't tolerate, it will re-instigate the dyrepair process and you will go around in circles. I never suggest anti-inflammatories in this phase of tendon issues as there isnt any actual inflammation (as we know it). Chronic tendinopathies (degenerative tendons) can take a very long time to rehabilitate, and yes, there is still more to learn, but I have not have any degenerative tendons/tendinosis patients not improve to some degree as long as they followed a reasonable loading process and modified work or hobbies etc.
"Chronic tendinopathies (degenerative tendons) can take a very long time to rehabilitate, and yes, there is still more to learn, but I have not have any degenerative tendons/tendinosis patients not improve to some degree as long as they followed a reasonable loading process and modified work or hobbies etc." I assert that the reason they can take a very long time to heal (again, referring to the bulk of the bell curve, not the -really- degenerated and damaged/frayed tendons on the far end of the bell curve) if one focuses on the 'degenerative tendon' as if the tendon is the problem and not a symptom of a larger mechanism. The model I work from is that odified work and progressive loading ignores the actual causes of the tendon issue, and progress goes a lot faster when the actual causes of the tendon issue are effectively dealt with.
Nothing wasted, it's knowledge. Massage the areas he was pointing out too in circular motions n loosen the tight spots. It will feel sore, but it gets better. I went to the Traditional Chinese Medicine 'Dr' n he did just that. Massaged those spots😊
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 don't know that I said that specifically. A. Muscles, all muscles, get tighter over time and stay tighter over time. B. Big muscles on one side bully smaller muscles on the other side. So generally the big muscle side needs to relax and the little muscle side needs to also relax (because it's been working 24/7 to counter the bigger antagonist), and a little actual strengthening never hurt anybody. Having said that, it's often not about strengthening, it's about increase in function (the tighter a muscle is, the less functional it is.
It’s a book promotion. I wanted my 8 minutes back after watching this video. He tells you good reasons why it hurts but no suggestions how to fix it. Ends in buy my book to learn more…
Yep. Kinda like when watching a commercial on tv selling tomato soup, but you have to actually buy the can to get the actual soup. Except this one shows you the ingredients that need to be in tomato soup to actually be tomato soup and furthermore, to be good tomato soup.
Could have been presented in 30 seconds too. But then you'd complain about that. Always with the complaining, almost never with taking the value that's right in front of you.

Ismael, how have you been doing. I've been dealing with this for about 3 weeks now. First started with my right shoulder... Now my left shoulder hurts.
Same here! I have tendonitis in my left shoulder and it doesn’t go away after 8 months! I’ve been resting as my doctor said but it still hurts a lot. Any suggestions on how to reduce tension, inflammation and nutritional insufficiency?
Hi Arturo. Rest can't and doesn't fix or even help a tendonitis dynamic. www.TendonitisExpert.com/rest.html 'Suggestions' aren't going to cut it against a tenodnitis dynamic. You will be best served by a complete how-to program. I suggest the Reversing Shoulder Tendonitis program.
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.
These are no secrets. I instruct people that the first thing you have to do in resolve the inflammatory process , as do most physicians who refer patients to PT. I tell people all the time that inflammatory foods need to be eliminated and anti-inflammatory foods, encouraged. More often than not, postural dysfunction ( frequently posture affects imbalance in flexibility and Subacromial space) and altered scapular mechanics are a factor but there are many factors that may also need to be addressed. That is why an evaluation is performed. Sounds to me like you need to find better doctors and PT's.
Yes, anti-inflammatory drugs are used to 'resolve' the inflammatory process', which at best temporarily subdues inflammation, but totally ignores the causes of the inflammation. "I instruct people that the first thing you have to do in resolve the inflammatory process , as do most physicians who refer patients to PT." Temporarily dampening the inflammation process with drugs doesn't resolve the inflammatory process. What's causing the inflammation? Nothing that anti-inflammatory drugs and injections addresses. Inflammation is a symptom, not a cause. Decreasing/eliminating inflammatory foods is smart/great, but as that's not the source of inflammation in a shoulder tendonitis scenario, its overall helpful but not the same inflammation as what's directly happening in the shoulder.. So that's helpful but misses the mark. Anti-inflammatory foods, also a good move, but again, misses the mark. Doesn't address the cause of the inflammation. Posture can/does affect, but when someone is stuck in bad posture, it's because of tightness. Tightness traps a person in bad posture. Then changing posture is/can be helpful, but doesn't get rid of the tightness, so A. posture pulls back to where it shouldn't be and B. forcing posture change without decreasing tightness causes forces to pull where they shouldn't...which further irritates things...which causes more tightness...which.... You say 'these are no secrets' but then ignore two of the three (in the video that you're referring to) and greatly miss the mark on the third. For the record, I'd love to find better doctors and PT's. As would the thousands of patients failed by their doctors that then find me here on the internet.
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
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. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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 .
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 TH-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.
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.
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
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.
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.
Hey ignore the hate comments, we appreciate the shared knowledge. Thank you
Thanks!
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.
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.
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.
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.

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 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.

I just f*#ked my rotator in gym, now I'm here! This is awesome well explained. Thankyou from New Zealand😊
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.
I have pain and weakness right in the front of the shoulder. No bench press for many months. I started using his Ideas and program. Start using light weight that gives a small amout of pain and work thru it but not over do it. ice and repeat.
Thank you so much. I’m enlightened. So many doctors that i saw never explained this.

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.
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.
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🙌
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.
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.

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.
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!
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?

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
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 TH-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
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.
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.
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?
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.
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!❤️
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.
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.
Didn't really tell me anything.
It really did, actually. If you disregard what was said, then you miss the value of it.
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.
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.
Appreciate the very informative video. I recommend you edit it down to 6 minutes. It is helpful, but would reach more people if shortend.
Hi. Thanks for the feedback (some people think it should jsut be 60 seconds! :) Good news/bad news, the video is established enough it goods good views/comments/traffic, so it's gotta stay. It's not perfect, admittedly, and
I'm glad you thought it was very informative.
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
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 .
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.
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.
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.
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!
You are not giving any suggestions on how to relieve tightness or inflammation. Really useless video.
The video explains what needs to be addressed to actually fix shoulder tendonitis. Which is very useful if you're selecting a treatment option. Because why spend time and money on treatments that arent going to and won't work? Like rest, anti-inflammatories, splints and braces, etc.
@@TendonitisExpert you directly said fixing shoulder tendinitis you already listed the problem you did not say help find what causes the pain you said fix shoulder tendinitis and you did not give fix
I was just going to write that same message. This was a waste of time.
The video delivers on it's promise: the secret to fixing shoulder tendonitis.
The three factors that must be effectively addressed. If you don't effectively address all three, you wont have 'a fix'. Which is why you're still looking for solutions.
If you think that knowing that is a waste of time, well, the best of luck to you out there.
Hi, good job...at the end of september 2019 i had an accident at my job where i hurt my knee...During my recovery from it i suddenly couldn't get my arms up anymore, my neck hurt even my hips seemed to be blocked...I even couldn't get my socks on in the morning, my whole body was blocked... Dokter, fysiotherapist didn't help...An osteopat helped me a lot by deblocking the hips... about three weeks ago i did an echographie and MRI and it was clear that i have an inflammation of the biceps tendon on my left and right side, the right one was bigger...So when i saw your video on this topic, i was glad to find an explanation for it...I would like to buy your Ebook on reversing it, it's an inflammation of the biceps tendon on the upper end, and i have more pain in the schoulders , not at all when i straighten my arms.Should i go then for the shoulder tendonitis Ebook? thanks a lot, it makes all sense what you're saying so i hope to gett rid of it in the nearby future.
The belated answer is, the Reversing Shoulder tendonitis is for symptoms up at the shoulder (basically). The Reversing Bicep Tendonitis program is more for bicep (middle of upper arm) and elbow end of the upper arm symptoms.
How did things go with the arm?
pretty useless video dude. in the end it's basically just a book advertisement. If i'm searching for answers on TH-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.
Where can I read your Reviews? I’d like to purchase but would like see reviews on the purchase to see if it’s right for me??
I've been selling for 12+ years, and still find it odd that there just isn't anything out there about the programs, good or bad (a couple random instances here and there).
I don't worry about it too much, I offer a no questions asked money back guarantee. I would of course prefer that you give it a solid attempt.
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.
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.
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!
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?
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.
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.
You should probably remove the word "fixing" from the video title, since the entire video was dedicated to complaining about doctors' shortcomings with regards to treatment, rather than how to fix or treat shoulder issues as the title implies. There's no fix, help, or treat advice anywhere on this, just a critique of those who don't fix, help, or treat. The words that come to my mind are "irony" and "clickbait".
1. "You should probably remove the word "fixing" from the video title, since the entire video was dedicated to complaining about doctors' shortcomings with regards to treatment, rather than how to fix or treat shoulder issues as the title implies. ....just a critique of those who don't fix, help, or treat."
Wow. You rely heavily on massive exaggeration. Or you're just lying to be dramatic. I can't really tell.
2. The title is 'what's the secret to fixing shoulder tendonitis'. It is not titled 'how to fix shoulder tendonitis'. Thus, it doesn't describe how to fix, it describes what needs to be effectively addressed that the usual methods ignore (yes, the methods doctor employ partially and completely ignore the factors that cause tendonitis).
Oops, I just spend my ENTIRE reply complaining about doctors' shortcomings.
@@TendonitisExpert Maybe you should read comments from others, also using the word clickbait, before being defensive. I'm not the only one who watched this video and had that thought. Changing the title to something more appropriate would spare you the trouble of talking to liars - er, exaggeraters - like me in the future, but I guess you'd rather have the clicks. You identify 3 things (tightness, inflammation, and nutritional deficiencies) but don't offer any solutions to any of those problems, let alone all 3 (isn't the word "fixing" somewhere in the title?). For example, you mention that pain can be exacerbated by the lats and pecs being larger than the delts, but mention no solutions (Should I have them surgically reduced? Get a bodybuilding coach and develop canonball deltoids?). You repeatedly mention nutritional deficiencies, but identify none of them ... I understand that you want to make a profit, but this video is nothing but an 8 minute advertisement. If you get defensive when people call it what it is, perhaps you should try being a little more honest about it from the very beginning. If you're going to call me a liar, perhaps you should stand in front of a mirror first. This video is nothing but an infomercial.
I read all comments.
Fun fact: f I changed the title to something more 'appropriate' some people would still complain about something. People like to complain.
So what if it's an 8 minute advertisement. It fulfills on the title, and tells you the secret to fixing shoulder tendonitis, which is that you have to effectively address the three factors (that common treatment methods partially or completely ignore, which is why people that tried all those prescriptions from their doctors etc are here on youtube watching these videos).
If people like you actually 'called it what it is', that's what they'd say.
@@TendonitisExpert Clickedy clickbait.
"What is the solution?"
"I sure don't know but watch my video."
See, I read all comments. Isn't it funny how I'm accused of not knowing the solution, but also for advertising a solution. People are funny.
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. TH-cam wouldn't let your comment be approved. Please post it again but without the bad word.

Or a coffee cup? Lol wut?
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.
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
What you say is true. I now know what you tell me needs to be done, but how and what do Ido to fix it ?
www.TendonitisExpert.com/reversing-shoulder-tendonitis.html That contains the how and the what. Multi-factored problems requires a multi-factored plan of attack.
I thought I was going to get a solution. I know all this already.. 8 minutes wasted.
You know it already? Great. So you've been taking effective actions on the things you know need to get effectively addressed?
Wow this actually explains a lot my pains are just like he described them 👍🏻
So we gotta buy a book for the solution?
Only if you want it.
What are the best nutrients that I have to watch for?
Magnesium?
Magnesium is a major player. It takes calcium for a muscle fiber to fire and magnesium for a muscle fiber to stop firing. And we generally have plenty of calcium.
@@TendonitisExpert what do you mean? is magnesium bad or good for this issue?
Magnesium is very very good.
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.
Hey bud nice video. I don't want to get too far down this rabbit hole, but you just described the failing of modern medicine: Treat the symptom(s) not the cause.
I hate to say it, but that does certainly seem to be the case. As evidenced by most of modern medicine seeming to believe and argue that things like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthirits, and diabetes, for instance, are incurable.
Come on ..get to it
Sorry, there's no magic bullet. No magic pill.
One has to (if one wants to get rid of the problem) spend at least a couple minutes learning about the problem, then another couple minutes (at least) to learn about how to fix the problem, and then AT LEAST a couple minutes doing enough of the right things to reverse the causes of the problem.
great video. If I take my left arm and put it behind my back, I can reach up and touch my right shoulder blade. My right arm, I can barely move it past my waist, been like this since the fall. Finally went to doctor and ultrasound showed tendonitis. He just gave a couple stretching motions to do for a few months. I started going to a chiropractor and they are doing tens/ems machine and stretching but little improvement. I think these treatments are useless.
Ultrasound showed tendonitis where exactly? What stretches (put your arm behind your back?)?
What is the chiro doing tens on, exactly?
1) What about impingement?
2) What nutritional insufficiency?
3) How do you treat inflammation?
4) How do you treat Muscle tightness and imbalance?
5) Why do Doctors not know this? They went to Med School for 4 years and Orthopedic Surgeons had an extra 5 years of training and shoulder experts went to an extra 2 years of fellowship.
6) What makes you an expert? What training do you have?
1. What about impingement are you asking? What about it?
2. The insufficiency that keeps muscles from being able to work properly.
3. In a tendonitis context? A. effective icing (NOT 20 minute ice packs) and B. removing the causes of the inflammation, which is tightness, ultimately.
4. I don't deal with 'imbalance'. There's a lot of ways to TRY to treat tightness, but some work, some don't work, and some can't work. The trick is to use tools that are actually effective at getting the result you want.
5. The why is irrelevant. What is relevant is, with all that schooling etc, why did they fail to get rid of your tendonitis? Also, surgeons don't reverse tendonitis or even try to (because they're surgeons, so all their schooling wasn't about getting rid of the causes of a problem, it was about attacking the symptoms), they ignore all the causes and cut into tissue that is exhibiting symptoms.
6. What makes anybody an expert? Schooling, practice, application, training, specialization, etc. But it's not even about being an expert, per se. There are a lot of experts, both self proclaimed and organization proclaimed, that regularly fail to fix any particular problem. What matters is, can they get rid of the causes of the problem?
@@TendonitisExpert This is a non-answer. In fact, no. 2 is a tautology.
Sure, #2 is easier to attack than #5. But you're still welcome to answer why doctors and all their schooling (which makes the superior to me, right?) didn't fix the problem.
The non tautological answer to #2 is in the program.
@@TendonitisExpert . You sure know how to dance around with words. I guess the real secrets are in your book that we need to buy.
Just out of curiosity. What is your background? Education? Why do YOU know more than Doctors?
And btw, not all orthopedic surgeons want to “cut into tissue” as you stated. Some practice sports medicine and they advocate non surgical treatment first.
@@TendonitisExpert of course, in the program , which this video is a commercial for.
Interested in the nutrition part of this. Any tips or do I need to buy the book first?
Unfortunately, tips and tricks just aren't going to cut it. Not if you want to fix the problem, anyway. Most things take a complete plan of attack if you want it to get done right. I recommend the program.
@@TendonitisExpertwow big surprise
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.
I am struggling with exactly this. Have been for physio treatment but still walking with pain for almost 2 yrs now. How can I get hold of your fixing tendinitis program? I went to the website but could not find anything on tendinitis.
Hi Salome. You couldn't find anything on tendinitis at www.TendonitisExpert.com ? Where is your pain? Shoulder?
So how do I get to fixed?
www.TendonitisExpert.com/reversing-shoulder-tendonitis.html
MY GP diagnosed me a torn muscle in my shoulder... Is this the same that tendonitis? Can be treated in the same way as tendonitis? Or what's the treatment for a torn muscle on the shoulder? Thank you for your advice.
An actual muscle tear is rare, it's usually the tendon or where the tendon blends in to muscle.
1. Where exactly is the tear?
2. Did you get an MRI or equivalent? If not, how exactly did the GP diagnose a tear?
3. The tendonitis dynamic is present, yes. Too tight muscle and connective tissue, inflammation process, nutritonal lack.
@@TendonitisExpert Hi, according the MRI the tear is in the upper right arm, a couple inches down the shoulder. The pain is intense during the night and by holding the arm to shoulder level, not normal position or lifting up. Thank you for your help.
Where exactly is the tear? In tendon, or where tendon meets muscle, or at the attachment, or...?
Well done! Yes I agree. Nutritional insufficiency accompanied with dehydration (lack of circulation to the inflamed area)
Have had this in each shoulder for seven years. I think it started in high school because I worked out each part of my body and, like an idiot, didn't do my shoulders because I thought it wasn't important. Boy was I wrong. So after seven years of the pain and weakness, and after stretching and trying physical therapy, I decided to go and get cortisone shots yesterday.
The doctor said the anti-inflammatory shots should fix my shoulder problems. The current pain is so bad but that is probably because of the shots. In a few days it should be better and I should have less shoulder pain than I've had in seven years. When it's better I will start stretching and working out my shoulders, not making that fucking mistake again.
Hopefully this works!
Let us know how that goes.
Yes how have you been? I need to know what this video was talking about with that nutrition deficiency.
TendonitisExpert in your course will you talk about the nutrition deficiency. ? How much is your course?
Yes, Reversing Shoulder Tendonitis shows you how to reverse the tendonitis dynamic - too tight muscle and connective tissue, chronic inflammation, and nutritional insufficiency.
$29.97 www.tendonitisexpert.com/reversing-shoulder-tendonitis.html Recommended nutrition will cost you some too, you can get that locally based on my suggestions, or through me.
My shoulder condition hasn't changed, even after three weeks. I'm now taking physical therapy for, as of now, twice a week for six weeks. My physical therapists said that I have tight pectoral muscles, which are pulling my shoulders forward, and weak shoulder muscles.
Every session they stretch and massage (albeit not pleasant) my shoulders, and then I do some very lightweight shoulder exercises. After the PT script is finished, one of my PTs advised that I see a chiropractor because my shoulder blades need adjustment.
So I concluded it isn't tendinitis but rather tight pecks and weak shoulder muscles.
It's a job injury and they don't want to pay you for your suffering. So they have people make these kinds of videos to claim your job injury is caused by bad nutrition.
All shoulder tendonitis is a job injury? Who pays for all these misdirectional videos to be made to save on workmans comp claims? Why don't they pay for higher production values?
This definitely qualifies as one of the most random comments this channel has received.
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!
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:-
th-cam.com/video/cEyI2f6umXs/w-d-xo.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.
Hey, very informative video! I think I could use some help/ advice. I started training calisthenics around 2019. I trained at home, including a pullup bar for pull/ chin ups. This bar was in my door frame. The problem was that I had bad technique, I think because I had not enough space in the door frame to freely widen my arms during pull ups. Therefore the pressure went on my elbows, and I started getting elbow pain. I quit training for 2 weeks, it was gone, but made the same mistake. Trained the same way, Same result. It didnt go away as fast. I went to my doctor and she told me I can still do dip/ chest exercises but need to rest and avoid back exercises. I also had pain in my wrists and shoulders. But so I continued training chest for some time and I think it made my injuries much worse. Now I’ve not trained like that in about a year and a half, I went to physical therapy, rested for a few weeks/ months and started strengthening exercises and stretches. What really helped me was finding movements/ positions that were painful for my arm (shoulder/ wrist mostly, as I think that was the cause for my elbow pain) and stretching in those positions. I saw good progress. The tightness became more loose and kinda less painful. However, although improved, I still have pain, popping in my shoulders and wrists, I think its still tendonitis and is inflamed. I once had an xray taken of my elbow because the of the pain there but they said everything was fine, so I think my shoulder and perhaps wrists are the cause of my elbow pain. Is it possible to have permanent damage? I’m really worried about it as training is by far one of my most favourite hobbies and I haven’t properly done it for a year and a half. Its also worth mentioning Im quite sure I have carpal tunnel syndrome aswell, although this too has improved TONS thanks to the stretches I mentioned, though still not gone.
I would love to hear your thoughts/ opinion about this and perhaps advice on what I should do.
I am a 20 year old guy and have been doing sports since childhood, if that matters.
Thanks in advance!
Is it possible there's permanent damage? Sure. Is it likely? From what you said, no. Well, let me rephrase that...if you don't do the right things to reverse the pain causing dynamic, then it's predictable that the pain will continue (might go away with rest but when you come back to being active it will be right there). Not because you have injury (actual damage), but because of the three factors in the video. Stretching at best addresses -none- of those factors.
So as you've experienced, stretching helps some. You have to address all three factors, effectively, if you want to reverse the causes of the pain.
You're 20. The kind of symptoms you describe have been showing up in people earlier and earlier, even in the 20+ years I've been in practice. Why? Poor nutrition in food, lifetime low vit d levels, estrogenic foods, etc.
MAYBE there's something specific physically that sets you up for the symptoms you're describing, but I doubt it. Overall your'e short on nutrition, so things get tight and stay tight, inflammation process makes things hurt more and get more tight and use up more nutrition, etc. Your muscles can't function properly.
I of course am going to suggest that you get and start working with my Reversing Shoulder Tendonitis program, because it addresses all three factors (and nothing else out there does).
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.
can we heal shoulder tendonates with out any surgery and how long it takes and how strong gonna be thanks
1. Tendonitis doesn't need healing since there's no actual rip/tear injury...and what wear and tear there is to the tendon, even tendonosis, the tendon is a symptom not the problem.
Yes one can reverse the tendonitis dynamic without surgery.
2. How long it takes depends on how 'bad' yours is and what you do or don't do to reverse the dynamic.
3. When you reverse the tendonitis dynamic you restore your muscle's ability to function, so you'll be as strong as you can be.
The biggest issue with this video is that the info is very old. The condition has been retermed tendinopathy because we have a much better understanding of the tendon inflammatory process now, and it doesn't get inflamed like other structures do. Tendinopathies are largely based on the simple premise of overloading the tendon. Yes, this might be due to poor nutrition or other factors , but largely it is simple mechanics. If you go to the gym and you try to bench press 200% more than normal, you will overload the tendon and it will kick start a repairing process that is quite painful. Then it's simply becomes a problem that everyone's day today life is simply too much for the tendon and people do not give it enough rest only propagating the process.
“Then it's simply becomes a problem that everyone's day today life is simply too much for the tendon and people do not give it enough rest only propagating the process.If rest fixed chronic tendonitis/tendinopathy, that would be great. In the vast majority of cases, it doesn’t. Said another way, if rest worked, people would just rest and then be pain free and nobody would spend months and years trying to get help from doctors and other professionals. If only it worked that way! That would be awesome, and I would be doing something else for a living. Or I guess I could just charge people to tell them to rest, and I'd be seen as a miracle worker. "Rest! That will fix your problem!"
But unfortunately rest doesn't work. (Sure on a bell curve there's one far end where it does for a few people/scenarios).
Also unfortunately, that misunderstanding about how tendonitis/tendinopathy works is part of why doctors waste peoples’ time etc with the first round of prescriptions consisting of ‘rest and inflammatories’.
www.tendonitisexpert.com/rest.html
www.tendonitisexpert.com/anti-inflammatory.html
“Yes, this might be due to poor nutrition or other factors , but largely it is simple mechanics.”
This is another massive flaw in your argument, which unfortunately is matched by the AMA, hospital policy, etc nationwide. One can’t (well, one shouldn’t) separate nutrition (or other factors) from ‘simple mechanics’, because they are one and the same. This incorrect view of how the human body works is, again, part of the cause of people wasting months and years of time and effort and money trying to get help/answers from doctors and other professionals.
Show less
I agree that rest will not fix a tendinopathy every time, but I would argue that it's largely because most people shoot straight past the rest window not giving themselves the appropriate "relative rest" from the activities that they were doing. That is, going to work and doing the same thing as normal - pushing through it hoping it will improve with time alone. I should've been more clear and said 'reactive tendinopathies'. Anti inflammatories in this phase are acceptable, although largely unhelpful.
Not allowing appropriate rest changes slowly forces them into the dysrepair phase and yes, it then becomes an issue of mechanics, with more modern research viewing tendon rehab as an issue of "tolerance". If you reduce your load to a level the tendon can tolerate, the healing process will be effective. If you overload the tendon to a level that it can't tolerate, it will re-instigate the dyrepair process and you will go around in circles. I never suggest anti-inflammatories in this phase of tendon issues as there isnt any actual inflammation (as we know it).
Chronic tendinopathies (degenerative tendons) can take a very long time to rehabilitate, and yes, there is still more to learn, but I have not have any degenerative tendons/tendinosis patients not improve to some degree as long as they followed a reasonable loading process and modified work or hobbies etc.
"Chronic tendinopathies (degenerative tendons) can take a very long time to rehabilitate, and yes, there is still more to learn, but I have not have any degenerative tendons/tendinosis patients not improve to some degree as long as they followed a reasonable loading process and modified work or hobbies etc."
I assert that the reason they can take a very long time to heal (again, referring to the bulk of the bell curve, not the -really- degenerated and damaged/frayed tendons on the far end of the bell curve) if one focuses on the 'degenerative tendon' as if the tendon is the problem and not a symptom of a larger mechanism.
The model I work from is that odified work and progressive loading ignores the actual causes of the tendon issue, and progress goes a lot faster when the actual causes of the tendon issue are effectively dealt with.
Nothing wasted, it's knowledge. Massage the areas he was pointing out too in circular motions n loosen the tight spots. It will feel sore, but it gets better. I went to the Traditional Chinese Medicine 'Dr' n he did just that. Massaged those spots😊
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. :)
Hi, When you said big muscles are causing tightness Could it be that the shoulder muscle is lagging and need more strength to compensate ?
I don't know that I said that specifically. A. Muscles, all muscles, get tighter over time and stay tighter over time. B. Big muscles on one side bully smaller muscles on the other side.
So generally the big muscle side needs to relax and the little muscle side needs to also relax (because it's been working 24/7 to counter the bigger antagonist), and a little actual strengthening never hurt anybody. Having said that, it's often not about strengthening, it's about increase in function (the tighter a muscle is, the less functional it is.
TendonitisExpert thanks for clarifying.
It’s a book promotion. I wanted my 8 minutes back after watching this video. He tells you good reasons why it hurts but no suggestions how to fix it. Ends in buy my book to learn more…
Yep. Kinda like when watching a commercial on tv selling tomato soup, but you have to actually buy the can to get the actual soup. Except this one shows you the ingredients that need to be in tomato soup to actually be tomato soup and furthermore, to be good tomato soup.
Same here. The info could have been presented in like 2 minutes and doesn't offer any solutions.
Could have been presented in 30 seconds too. But then you'd complain about that. Always with the complaining, almost never with taking the value that's right in front of you.
@@TendonitisExpert No value, you're title is click bait, quit being a whiney bitch and take your viewers suggestions, comments and use them to better your business, like a real business owner, not a snake oil salesman.
Well said, TendonitisExpert
I've been having left shoulder tendonitis for 6 months now, I seriously need to follow these steps
Ismael, how have you been doing. I've been dealing with this for about 3 weeks now. First started with my right shoulder... Now my left shoulder hurts.
Simple Things Simple Things same here I have had it since march on my right and I got it on my left may
Same here!
I have tendonitis in my left shoulder and it doesn’t go away after 8 months!
I’ve been resting as my doctor said but it still hurts a lot. Any suggestions on how to reduce tension, inflammation and nutritional insufficiency?
Hi Arturo.
Rest can't and doesn't fix or even help a tendonitis dynamic. www.TendonitisExpert.com/rest.html
'Suggestions' aren't going to cut it against a tenodnitis dynamic. You will be best served by a complete how-to program. I suggest the Reversing Shoulder Tendonitis program.
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.
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.
These are no secrets. I instruct people that the first thing you have to do in resolve the inflammatory process , as do most physicians who refer patients to PT. I tell people all the time that inflammatory foods need to be eliminated and anti-inflammatory foods, encouraged.
More often than not, postural dysfunction ( frequently posture affects imbalance in flexibility and Subacromial space) and altered scapular mechanics are a factor but there are many factors that may also need to be addressed. That is why an evaluation is performed.
Sounds to me like you need to find better doctors and PT's.
Yes, anti-inflammatory drugs are used to 'resolve' the inflammatory process', which at best temporarily subdues inflammation, but totally ignores the causes of the inflammation.
"I instruct people that the first thing you have to do in resolve the inflammatory process , as do most physicians who refer patients to PT." Temporarily dampening the inflammation process with drugs doesn't resolve the inflammatory process.
What's causing the inflammation? Nothing that anti-inflammatory drugs and injections addresses. Inflammation is a symptom, not a cause.
Decreasing/eliminating inflammatory foods is smart/great, but as that's not the source of inflammation in a shoulder tendonitis scenario, its overall helpful but not the same inflammation as what's directly happening in the shoulder.. So that's helpful but misses the mark.
Anti-inflammatory foods, also a good move, but again, misses the mark. Doesn't address the cause of the inflammation.
Posture can/does affect, but when someone is stuck in bad posture, it's because of tightness. Tightness traps a person in bad posture. Then changing posture is/can be helpful, but doesn't get rid of the tightness, so A. posture pulls back to where it shouldn't be and B. forcing posture change without decreasing tightness causes forces to pull where they shouldn't...which further irritates things...which causes more tightness...which....
You say 'these are no secrets' but then ignore two of the three (in the video that you're referring to) and greatly miss the mark on the third.
For the record, I'd love to find better doctors and PT's.
As would the thousands of patients failed by their doctors that then find me here on the internet.
