So I got my tai chai ball about 10 days ago. Been doing daily rolls that you suggested, along with some stretches another video suggested, and for the first time in almost a year I am pain free. I really appreciate the help!
Armwrestling training is ideal! Watch videos of Pro Armwrestlers like Devon Larratt training. He has 3 basic exercises he does and he's 48 yrs old with concrete elbows.
@@OcraMedHealth hey from Australia love ya vids, more than a month ago injured my left side, believe was during reverse curls which I've done many times over 15+ years of body building , cant seem to get rid of it backed off going too heavy , seems like it doesn't want to heal.
MAN you're my saviour!!!! I've had this for almost 2 years (it only happened when I did bendover rows tho) and had to leave the gym 7 months ago because whenever I tried to do dumbbell curls, there was a burning sharp pain in my left forearm sometimes near the wrist sometimes near the elbow. I've been to 5 doctors and none of them could diagnose it and I was depressed for nearly 5 months because I couldnt work out at all and the pain started to occur even when I was lifting light weights like when I was doing chores but its only 6 days I've started applying the technique you suggest on the video and the pain is literally gone. I just did 3 sets of dumbbell curls with 0 pain THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!
I know the video is old, however I have to say thank you! You nailed it with what's been driving me nuts for 4 months and the reason I had to stop training. Well done sir.
Man, it's getting ridiculous. Bicep tendonitis, impigments, rotator cuff tears, quadriceps tendonitis and now this shit? And who said lifting weights was healthy habit?
I've watched several of these videos regarding the Brachioradialis muscle and I must say that way you've explained this is phenomenal! This is an excellent presentation!
Listened, learned, used my thumb and knuckles to massage my Brachioradialis Fascias and within 5 minutes my pain is dialed down from a 12 to a 4. Thank you for this invaluable explanation and advice.
THANK SOOOO MUCH I AM FINALLY ABLE TO UNDERSTAND WHAT IS GOING ON WITH MY ARM!!! BEST EXPLANATION I HAVE FOUND WITHOUT A DOUBT!! THANK YOU FOR GREAT ADVISES!!!
Most useful videos on TH-cam on this. Been having pain for 1.5 months. Extremely annoying. Stopped going to the gym. This has helped me greatly recover super fast 🙏🔥
I've just come across your video. I've viewed scores of videos on fixing elbow pain due to pull ups but every one has focused on the medial aspect of the elbow. Finally, I've found the cause of my pain and how to fix it. Thank you.
because I couldn't fully extend my arm I thought I had damaged my tendon but knowing its just the Brachiordialis muscle is such a relief, thanks for the advice
Dr. DeMarco, I have to sincerely commend you on this fantastic video. I hope you don’t take this the wrong way but, so many in your profession have resulted to being snake oil salesmen instead of practicing evidence-based patient care. I can clearly tell that is not the case with you. As someone on the path to an MD degree, it’s imperative that we have people like you on the healthcare team, who are able to bring a unique perspective in patient care; chiropractic care and physical therapy can fix a lot of things MDs can’t! You are clearly exemplary in your field and an outstanding clinician! I was lifting weights the other day and really tore up my brachioradialis muscles bilaterally, and I am so happy to have found your video. I am going to try your technique and will report back soon! I greatly appreciate your insight and fantastic explanation!!
I have been struggling with this injury for months, it has partially disappeared and also returned again. Now I was in a lot of pain. I watched your video and tried this with the ball, I felt the effect immediately. Now I also know why I get this injury. Thank you very much.
😭 I’ve always been able to do myofascial release on my muscles but for some reason my pain in this area has been going on for a year. This technique helped me in just a couple of days. Unbelievable!!!!
I’ve suffered from this for well over a month now. Massage made it worse, stretching didn’t help. But this did. The pain was gone after an intense session. Thanks, man!
Definitely a good explanation on this topic. Been having brachioradialis pain in both arms over six months now. Been working out consistently nearly 11 years now and had my share of overuse injuries. But always something new comes up and it is a good time to sit down and reconsider the workouts to heal. I have been doing lots of those exercises you mentioned, and also lots of dumbbell flys and dumbbell presses. I find that those too put lots of stress on the brachioradialis muscle.
I've watched this yesterday. I've practiced. I am required yo lift 40 kg box at work. My radialia hurts every single day. Until now! Youre a jem. Thanks. ❤ Glory be to God Almighty.
Cant thank you enough. I’ve been dealing with a sharp pain on my forearm for months which preventing me doing any pulling excersizes. Visited 2 doctors, even got a cortison shot, nothing worked so I thought that could be the end of my gym days. After doing few of the excersizes for the last 2 days, best improvement I got since the injury! You are such a great person doing this just to be helpful and I hope you will find goodness in return, thanks again.

@@santinodagostino4441 it's gonna heal just follow the instructions in the video Also make sure to eat a lot in this period for a more speedy recovery of the cells.
@@jostalker9567 thanks man, yeah I followed it all it’s slightly better now had a long power nap which made it better but still stings. Have a good day !
Simply awesome. Since watching this I’ve been deep massaging my left arm as described .... MASSIVE relief in the pain! I’ve been hitting pull-ups hard lately and thought I was going to have to stop. Simply the massage and some cool press has made such a relief! Thank you!
Son of a... I have a chronically tight forearm from years of baseball and weight training and my elbow doesn't typically straighten all the way. I went to my doc, I insisted it felt muscular. He says arthritis and thats just my elbow now. I did these little tricks in your video and I'm about 95% and the tightness is nearly gone. I get arthritis from overuse is real, but it seems like a lazy diagnosis when there was legitimately a muscular reason for the majority of tightness. Especially when I insisted the pain was in my forearm not my elbow. If he had sent me to a physio I would have learned these tricks forever ago. Thank you for being the guy I should have seen from the beginning, I wish I had found this sooner. You rock, dude.
Massage helps but let me give you the cure. First why is there pain? If you use a computer mouse or do pull ups you are pronating the wrist. As you move the mouse around or do a pull up you start to irritate the radial nerve that’s located under the brachioradialis sheath. Rubbing it just pushes blood out of the area and temporarily numbs it. After long periods of mouse use or pull ups the muscles weaken causing more pressure on the nerve. This generally isn’t tendonitis, it’s nerve pain especially when you feel it traveling down your forearm. Rehab is easy. You’ll need an 8# sledgehammer or a 2# hammer if you’re not very strong. You can use bands attached to a rod as well. Even a broom. Sit and rest your affected arm on your knee. Have the weighted end of the rod or hammer on the inside of your thighs. Now rotate the weight up and then down. Repeat 5 sets of 8-10 reps every other day. You’ll see progress after just a few sets as we are talking about millimeters of space to untrap the nerve. Lastly don’t stretch the wrist. I know it may feel good, but stretching the wrist will make it worse. Finally stretch your biceps. Find a door jam and straighten your arm and and lean into it. That’s to help make space around the radial nerve. You may have a forearm brace, get rid of it. You’re only adding pressure to the nerve. If you must use it, place it 6”s from the elbow. The massage in this video is good and will help, but if you want a cure do what I posted. It will take a few months to be cured depending on how bad it is. You can hit up a good orthopedic surgeon and get a cortisone shot in the forearm which will speed things up quite a bit on the pain front and isn’t very expensive.
This video relieved me of a very sore left forearm. I feel 100 times better and I can actually use my left arm to scratch my face without a lot of pain. Thank you!
This makes so much sense. Thank you! This is what my chiropractor must be doing when he works on my tennis elbow. I always feel better after it. Seems similar to active release technique.
Thank you so much, this really happened to me, I couldn't find a video talking about this. When I ask a lot of people they don't know it but somehow I found this video. It really tell me the pain and how to relief it. Thank you.
Had this problem for a few weeks now and it started at work. I think my workout aggravated the problem so now I had to stop and recover. This exercise will help a lot. Coincidentally, I bought one of those rubber balls months ago and now I realize why I bought it. Thanks a lot!
If you work it pretty hard then I would just do it once a day. It's normal to only get temporary relief at the beginning. Keep at it for the next 2-3 weeks. Keep me posted on your progress.
I don't normally comment on TH-cam because there is nothing more that I can add that has not already being said. However, on this occasion, all I want to say is "Thank you!". I had such terrible pain in my left arm and after following your advice the pain is almost gone.
This explains why my injury happened.. The way I load my musical equipment into my rv with my bicep at a disadvantage.. I’ll start tuning my arm to help me lift safer... thanks
When you showed the origin of the muscle. I got that and turns out that's where the pain really came from. Thank you sir I'm so grateful for the knowledge
Been having this exact issue from doing any cleans or front squats during my training. This was super informative and I believe this will help relieve my elbow pain so I can get back to doing some old lifting at the gym. Great video
Great video... thank you! I'm an engineer working with computers everyday. Never occurred to me that the very mouse/keyboard and constant arm resting on the desktop would cause so much trouble to my brachioradialis. Pull down and shoulder press would hurt a bit. Simply, flipped my palm facing upward solved the problem. I can feel improved better and better every day.
I'm going to do this now i need that ball I've been in pain for 3 years now I've always thought it was my wrist but after this video this is exactly what i have my wrist cracks all the time really bad thanks so much
I injured my brachioradialis muscle in both arms doing upper back exercises (pulling motion) and/or with deadlifting (also a pulling motion). It took over six months to heal them up, and it is easy to re-aggravate them. As Dr. Joe explained in this excellent video, I had to stop pulling exercises for a while and/or use different grips to work around my injuries. I am interested in trying out the massage techniques that he mentioned, and I am thankful that I found this video. Thanks, Dr. Joe!
This was a very encouraging video for someone who just can't get into healing from this muscle. I have much more hope moving forward getting back into the gym.
I have been to many physical therapists and I’ve had echographs done and nobody has been able to describe my problem or help me. I have had chronic problems with my forearms for five years. And despite the exercises I was given, which are the ones you described at the beginning of the video that don’t actually work, I am still having the problem. Your video answers so many questions I’ve had and makes it so easy to understand. I will begin applying your techniques immediately and let you know how it works. ❤
@@gabriel-777-77 Something like radial tunnel syndrome usually has radiating symptoms going down the forearm to the wrist/hand area. An issue with fascial adhesions in the brachioradialis would be pretty specific to the actual muscle.
Damn...I wish I would've found your videos a long time ago...was having issues with my arm for weeks and I Swear to GOD im feeling a million times better...guess I'll have to switch up my workouts now...thanks Doc.
This is my exact issue, had it for 6 months now, will start your exercise straight away, thank you so much, tried explaining to my Dr over the phone due to covid and he didn't have a clue 👍
I have this injury now for 3 weeks from lifting weights. It's like a burning sensation from the back forearm (palms down up to the elbow joint) Will try these wonderful exercises! Hope it helps. Also you got a new subscriber sir. My English is bad sorry.
Hello- I have been struggling with forearm pain for a while , mainly from Thai boxing and holding the pads . This pain went away during COVID lockdown but has returned . I tried stretching, ice, heat and massage - Worst idea ever FYI ! Tried your massage ball and wow ! I can feel it healing ! Thanks you so much ! Couple of days doing your routines following up with ice and I believe I'll be pain free enough to box more often ! Big hugs to you
Great video. I have had this chronically from doing wide pull ups (as you said) and I am to the point where I need to be more proactive in addressing it.
I’m 49 years old and new to lifting and fitness in general. This is the first vid of yours that I found and it fixed the issue I had. I just gave my wife the website so that she can get my a Thai Chi Ball as a stocking stuffer. 😂😂
Thanks for the explanation! Over the summer I was super motivated with doing pullups...i got up to doing 85 consecutive, and i think that messed up my left forearm. I now experience pain when i perform bicep curls as well. I have stayed away from most excercises that cause pain, but it still seems to linger around. I've been massaging it nightly. Hopefully the pain goes away eventually as it's been around 2 months...
Has the pain gone now? I was doing pull-ups and all of a sudden there was a tear or something which sounded like tearing a paper on my forearm. It was almost a month ago and till today I can't do pullups, bicep curls, or anything that puts strain on Brachioradialis.
@@AmitKumar-te6vw ouch! Sorry to hear about your injury. As far as my injury, it took about a year and some months before the pain really went away. I use a compression arm sleeve that has been a life saver. Your injury may be more severe than what mine was, might want to get that looked at. Tendon injuries take a long time to heal. I constantly stretched it and messaged it.
@@AmitKumar-te6vw If you heard a pop my guy it could be a tendon partial/full tear you need to get that checked out so that's good if your planning to. As for Ronald's experience don't be discouraged for how long it took, he didn't mention that he did rehab/strengthening for what sounded like a case of chronic tendonitis and instead waited it out which could be why it took so long. Maybe read Overcoming Tendonitis by Steven Low.
Thanks for this! Been looking for the correct approach to solve the pain. Been battling against all the recommendations for “golfers elbow”. Finally something that nails it. Thanks again!
Thank you very much for this video! I injured both forearms around six months ago at work when I was building and lifting swing benches over a period of a few weeks. Some were very large and awkward and I really strained to lift them. I could feel the forearms being injured some each day and when I started going back to the gym (I wasn't going during this time period of building swings), the pain increased more and more to the point that, I can't do any exercises now that involve arms, it seems--the pain is too much. And today, I have to go trim a bunch of trees with a sawzall for a few hours for a client. :( But at least I know what to do now to start treatment. Oh, I should mention that I experience a LOT of pain in the brachioradialis when I'm lying in bed, holding my phone with both hands so, I can't do that at all. So weird that a simple, static position like that can put so much strain on that forearm muscle.
@@muminaslantas205 Yes, actually. I had a massage therapist really dig their fingers in, up and down the top of the forearms and it made a huge difference! Massage therapists also have those blades they can use to break up scare tissue the therapist I had, just used their fingers and it worked.
Had a bit of pain for months due to mindless scrolling on iPhone. Then…then I did hammer curls for first time. And BAM! Pain going on three months now. Recently getting massage where they do what you’re showing and it really helps.
Damn the day I started doing reverse curls 😫 this sometimes doesn't even let me do any kind of pullups and am limited to barbell curls only. Thanks for the video 👍🏻
I dont feel any pain when i do pull ups but i got the injury when i was training hand stand and now it also hurts when i curls, i bought the tai chi ball and i hope this will help me :)
Fantastic teaching video! Got to release the scar tissue on my Right Brachioradialis! Learned a lot...yes, I developed pain there from the gym! Now I know better regarding best positions to protect my forearm and work with it's advantageous positions for my lifts! THANKS A LOT!
I always thought I was doing something wrong with bicep curls. It turns the soreness is from my back row exercise where I lift the dumbbell with a hammer grip. I must be bringing the dumbbell up too high and it's putting a lot of stress on my brachioradialises.
I love to do pull ups, I was doing 50-100 a day and my forearm has been hurt for over a month + from it. I’ve been trying to work thru it. It sucks bc it’s a lingering pain.
Forearm/elbow tendonitis can linger for months. Avoid exercises/activities that directly aggravate it, lots of ice, and work some of the fascial release techniques on my video. It will eventually go away. Hang in there!
This is the first video I have seen of yours. I love the level of detail and science-based explanation. I will definitely check out your website. I have had this lingering pain just above and below my elbow, for probably a year and half, that makes hammer curls painful so I avoid them. Tonight I tried hammer curls with a slight rotation to workout the brachioradialis and they were basically impossible even with a very low weight (20 lbs). I have gone to PT for months and gotten zero results (we had assumed this was tennis elbow), but now I think the whole treatment regiment was based on a wrong diagnosis. So, two questions: Is there a good way to confirm that this is, in fact, from my brachiradialis? If you are familiar with gua sha, do you think that would be more or less effective than the techniques in this video? Thanks you very much for putting this out there!
The brachioradialis is a pretty easy muscle to palpate. Palpate around the muscle. If it's tight and tender then there's a good chance that it's a problem. Also, pain on hammer curls is a common issue. The techniques I demonstrate are ones that I instruct my patients on. I am familiar with gua sha but not trained to perform it. Therefore, I can't really answer that question. Good luck my friend!
Are you kidding me, I've had pain for weeks, maybe a couple of months, then one go doing the stretches w a la crosse ball and before you video ended I'm almost ok! Wow thanks doc!
Spot on and to the point. I appreciate the explanation on how it might start and how to release it, the fascial adhesion, the type of exercises likely to be the culprit (pull-ups, in my case) and that one shouldn’t expect it to get fixed overnight. Thank you.
So I got my tai chai ball about 10 days ago. Been doing daily rolls that you suggested, along with some stretches another video suggested, and for the first time in almost a year I am pain free. I really appreciate the help!

I started going to gym one month ago with an immense motivation but i got cracked down with this injury leaving me in a real serious depressed low down mood..but after ur video the pain almost goes away with doing ur exercise and i can do my normal sets normally now
Thanks so much you made a big change to me and the likes of you deserve big credit for how scientific based ur explanations are and their efficacy.
Glad to help!
This gives me hope, same here I done my forearm in the gym in so much pain idk if it’s a strain or it’s torn
@@santinodagostino4441 it's gonna heal just follow the instructions in the video
Also make sure to eat a lot in this period for a more speedy recovery of the cells.
@@jostalker9567 thanks man, yeah I followed it all it’s slightly better now had a long power nap which made it better but still stings. Have a good day !
Simply awesome. Since watching this I’ve been deep massaging my left arm as described .... MASSIVE relief in the pain! I’ve been hitting pull-ups hard lately and thought I was going to have to stop. Simply the massage and some cool press has made such a relief! Thank you!
That's awesome! Glad I could help! Good luck with your training.
Son of a... I have a chronically tight forearm from years of baseball and weight training and my elbow doesn't typically straighten all the way. I went to my doc, I insisted it felt muscular. He says arthritis and thats just my elbow now. I did these little tricks in your video and I'm about 95% and the tightness is nearly gone. I get arthritis from overuse is real, but it seems like a lazy diagnosis when there was legitimately a muscular reason for the majority of tightness. Especially when I insisted the pain was in my forearm not my elbow. If he had sent me to a physio I would have learned these tricks forever ago. Thank you for being the guy I should have seen from the beginning, I wish I had found this sooner. You rock, dude.
Thanks Terence! Always happy to help! Best of luck!
Massage helps but let me give you the cure. First why is there pain? If you use a computer mouse or do pull ups you are pronating the wrist. As you move the mouse around or do a pull up you start to irritate the radial nerve that’s located under the brachioradialis sheath. Rubbing it just pushes blood out of the area and temporarily numbs it. After long periods of mouse use or pull ups the muscles weaken causing more pressure on the nerve. This generally isn’t tendonitis, it’s nerve pain especially when you feel it traveling down your forearm. Rehab is easy. You’ll need an 8# sledgehammer or a 2# hammer if you’re not very strong. You can use bands attached to a rod as well. Even a broom. Sit and rest your affected arm on your knee. Have the weighted end of the rod or hammer on the inside of your thighs. Now rotate the weight up and then down. Repeat 5 sets of 8-10 reps every other day. You’ll see progress after just a few sets as we are talking about millimeters of space to untrap the nerve. Lastly don’t stretch the wrist. I know it may feel good, but stretching the wrist will make it worse. Finally stretch your biceps. Find a door jam and straighten your arm and and lean into it. That’s to help make space around the radial nerve. You may have a forearm brace, get rid of it. You’re only adding pressure to the nerve. If you must use it, place it 6”s from the elbow. The massage in this video is good and will help, but if you want a cure do what I posted. It will take a few months to be cured depending on how bad it is. You can hit up a good orthopedic surgeon and get a cortisone shot in the forearm which will speed things up quite a bit on the pain front and isn’t very expensive.
Is there a place I can find a video of this?
Do a video pls this is not something you can explain in writing
Unable to understand it. Plz make a video
This video relieved me of a very sore left forearm. I feel 100 times better and I can actually use my left arm to scratch my face without a lot of pain. Thank you!
Awesome! Glad I could help!!
this was great help- thanks- injured my left Brachioradialis doing heavy deadlifts and shrugs with a pronated grip
Glad I could help!
My arm felt better by the end of the video. Thank you.
Glad I could help!!
Thank you so much for the advice, now i know how i injured myself..doing chin ups 💪😔
Glad I could help!
Exactly explained my problem. Thanks! 54 years old doing overhand (pronated) lat pull downs on the weight machine caused problem. Now I know! Thanks!
Glad I could help!!
This makes so much sense. Thank you! This is what my chiropractor must be doing when he works on my tennis elbow. I always feel better after it. Seems similar to active release technique.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much, this really happened to me, I couldn't find a video talking about this. When I ask a lot of people they don't know it but somehow I found this video. It really tell me the pain and how to relief it. Thank you.
Happy to help!
This was really helpful! Sir, you deserve more subscribers💯
Glad I could help! I'm hoping we get more subscribers too!!!
Dang!!! I got a ball and did exactly as you suggested and I am almost completely pain free!!! Thank you so much!
That's awesome!
You are EXACTLY right about the pullups, my right brach feels like it's bein torn apart when I do pullups.
Hope the video can help!
Same for me. I stopped doing overhand pull ups and went with chin ups or neutral grip which helped a lot.
Had this problem for a few weeks now and it started at work. I think my workout aggravated the problem so now I had to stop and recover.
This exercise will help a lot. Coincidentally, I bought one of those rubber balls months ago and now I realize why I bought it. Thanks a lot!
Best of luck! Let me know how it goes!
HOLY $HIT! Just one try my forearm pain for 2 weeks is gone! 😍
That's awesome! Glad I could help!
@@OcraMedHealth it gives instant relief to me but after an hour or two the pain is back. 😂 how many times a day should i do this doc?
If you work it pretty hard then I would just do it once a day. It's normal to only get temporary relief at the beginning. Keep at it for the next 2-3 weeks. Keep me posted on your progress.
If you get it again you should go to the doctor after a couple of days bc your muscle could be dying
ھسھا
I don't normally comment on TH-cam because there is nothing more that I can add that has not already being said. However, on this occasion, all I want to say is "Thank you!". I had such terrible pain in my left arm and after following your advice the pain is almost gone.
Thank you! Glad I could help my friend!
This explains why my injury happened..
The way I load my musical equipment into my rv with my bicep at a disadvantage.. I’ll start tuning my arm to help me lift safer... thanks
Yes, be careful! Lifting weights is not the only way we injure this muscle. it can be unjured just lifting stuff around the house or yard.
When you showed the origin of the muscle. I got that and turns out that's where the pain really came from. Thank you sir I'm so grateful for the knowledge
Very welcome
Been having this exact issue from doing any cleans or front squats during my training. This was super informative and I believe this will help relieve my elbow pain so I can get back to doing some old lifting at the gym. Great video
Thanks! Keep me posted on your progress!
Great video... thank you! I'm an engineer working with computers everyday. Never occurred to me that the very mouse/keyboard and constant arm resting on the desktop would cause so much trouble to my brachioradialis. Pull down and shoulder press would hurt a bit. Simply, flipped my palm facing upward solved the problem. I can feel improved better and better every day.
Happy to help!
I'm going to do this now i need that ball I've been in pain for 3 years now I've always thought it was my wrist but after this video this is exactly what i have my wrist cracks all the time really bad thanks so much
Good luck! Keep me posted on your progress!
I used a plastic fork and that worked
i have the same that to for 10 years, plz tell me how it went and should i ice it ?
It worked! Pain is not that bad! Best video ever! Thanks!!
Glad I could help Oscar!
It hurts.😭
I can’t even stretch my arms. God help me!
Good luck with it. Keep me posted on your progress!
I also came here in this video because I can't move my hand , so much pain in forearms
I injured my brachioradialis muscle in both arms doing upper back exercises (pulling motion) and/or with deadlifting (also a pulling motion). It took over six months to heal them up, and it is easy to re-aggravate them. As Dr. Joe explained in this excellent video, I had to stop pulling exercises for a while and/or use different grips to work around my injuries. I am interested in trying out the massage techniques that he mentioned, and I am thankful that I found this video. Thanks, Dr. Joe!
Thanks James! I appreciate you sharing your experience. Good luck my friend.
Great video this is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you.
You're welcome! Glad I could help!
This was a very encouraging video for someone who just can't get into healing from this muscle. I have much more hope moving forward getting back into the gym.
Happy to help! Good luck!!
Thank you for this! Looks like i'm going to have to take a break from the muscle ups for a few weeks; a pity, but i'd rather be fully recovered.
Good luck! Keep me posted on your progress!
I have been to many physical therapists and I’ve had echographs done and nobody has been able to describe my problem or help me. I have had chronic problems with my forearms for five years. And despite the exercises I was given, which are the ones you described at the beginning of the video that don’t actually work, I am still having the problem. Your video answers so many questions I’ve had and makes it so easy to understand. I will begin applying your techniques immediately and let you know how it works. ❤
Best of luck to you!!
@@OcraMedHealth many thanks 🙏 how would I know the difference between this an radial tunnel syndrome? And can they coexist?
And do you recommend the Thai chi ball if it is radial tunnel syndrome?
@@gabriel-777-77 Something like radial tunnel syndrome usually has radiating symptoms going down the forearm to the wrist/hand area. An issue with fascial adhesions in the brachioradialis would be pretty specific to the actual muscle.
Damn...I wish I would've found your videos a long time ago...was having issues with my arm for weeks and I Swear to GOD im feeling a million times better...guess I'll have to switch up my workouts now...thanks Doc.
Glad I could help! Good luck!
This is my exact issue, had it for 6 months now, will start your exercise straight away, thank you so much, tried explaining to my Dr over the phone due to covid and he didn't have a clue 👍
Glad I could help George! Good luck!
I have this injury now for 3 weeks from lifting weights.
It's like a burning sensation from the back forearm (palms down up to the elbow joint)
Will try these wonderful exercises! Hope it helps.
Also you got a new subscriber sir.
My English is bad sorry.
Thank you for subscribing! Let me know how you do!
Hello- I have been struggling with forearm pain for a while , mainly from Thai boxing and holding the pads . This pain went away during COVID lockdown but has returned . I tried stretching, ice, heat and massage - Worst idea ever FYI ! Tried your massage ball and wow ! I can feel it healing ! Thanks you so much ! Couple of days doing your routines following up with ice and I believe I'll be pain free enough to box more often ! Big hugs to you
Awesome! Glad I could help my friend!
Great video. I have had this chronically from doing wide pull ups (as you said) and I am to the point where I need to be more proactive in addressing it.
Thanks! Good luck with the elbow/arm. Let me know how it goes!
I’m 49 years old and new to lifting and fitness in general. This is the first vid of yours that I found and it fixed the issue I had. I just gave my wife the website so that she can get my a Thai Chi Ball as a stocking stuffer. 😂😂
Awesome! Glad I could help!
Thanks for the explanation! Over the summer I was super motivated with doing pullups...i got up to doing 85 consecutive, and i think that messed up my left forearm. I now experience pain when i perform bicep curls as well. I have stayed away from most excercises that cause pain, but it still seems to linger around. I've been massaging it nightly. Hopefully the pain goes away eventually as it's been around 2 months...
Good luck. Let me know how your recovery goes.
Has the pain gone now? I was doing pull-ups and all of a sudden there was a tear or something which sounded like tearing a paper on my forearm. It was almost a month ago and till today I can't do pullups, bicep curls, or anything that puts strain on Brachioradialis.
@@AmitKumar-te6vw ouch! Sorry to hear about your injury. As far as my injury, it took about a year and some months before the pain really went away. I use a compression arm sleeve that has been a life saver. Your injury may be more severe than what mine was, might want to get that looked at. Tendon injuries take a long time to heal. I constantly stretched it and messaged it.
@@supaflypriest Good to hear that your injury is gone. I'm planning to get it looked at because it's giving me hard time.
@@AmitKumar-te6vw If you heard a pop my guy it could be a tendon partial/full tear you need to get that checked out so that's good if your planning to. As for Ronald's experience don't be discouraged for how long it took, he didn't mention that he did rehab/strengthening for what sounded like a case of chronic tendonitis and instead waited it out which could be why it took so long. Maybe read Overcoming Tendonitis by Steven Low.
Thanks for this! Been looking for the correct approach to solve the pain. Been battling against all the recommendations for “golfers elbow”. Finally something that nails it. Thanks again!
Happy to help!!
Yup. Pull ups messed me up. And I’m 295. Mines hurts where the connection is near the elbow
Good luck my friend! Avoid those pull ups for now.
thanks so much for this video! my pain wasnt getting any better on its own for a few days, but after this it started going away almost immediately
Glad it helped!
Thank you very much for this video! I injured both forearms around six months ago at work when I was building and lifting swing benches over a period of a few weeks. Some were very large and awkward and I really strained to lift them. I could feel the forearms being injured some each day and when I started going back to the gym (I wasn't going during this time period of building swings), the pain increased more and more to the point that, I can't do any exercises now that involve arms, it seems--the pain is too much. And today, I have to go trim a bunch of trees with a sawzall for a few hours for a client. :( But at least I know what to do now to start treatment. Oh, I should mention that I experience a LOT of pain in the brachioradialis when I'm lying in bed, holding my phone with both hands so, I can't do that at all. So weird that a simple, static position like that can put so much strain on that forearm muscle.
Glad I could help my friend! Best of luck!
Do you can solve your Problems with your both forearms? If yes, how??
@@muminaslantas205 Yes, actually. I had a massage therapist really dig their fingers in, up and down the top of the forearms and it made a huge difference! Massage therapists also have those blades they can use to break up scare tissue the therapist I had, just used their fingers and it worked.
Had a bit of pain for months due to mindless scrolling on iPhone. Then…then I did hammer curls for first time. And BAM! Pain going on three months now. Recently getting massage where they do what you’re showing and it really helps.
Hope it heals quickly!!
Damn the day I started doing reverse curls 😫 this sometimes doesn't even let me do any kind of pullups and am limited to barbell curls only. Thanks for the video 👍🏻
Glad you found it helpful! Good luck with your training.
Bro same here, I am here because of reverse curls in addition to my wrist popping out the socket haha. We live we learn.
This video really helped so much thank you for this advise. Just started the massage in that area and STRAIGHT away relief.
Great to hear!
Wow, thanks! This is my exact problem. What exercises do you recoment to strengthen this muscle?
Once the muscle is pain free and healed, you can begin movements such as hammer curls. That motion targets the brachioradialis.
Bro you need to take a break not train it more 😂 let it heal
Thank you this explained exactly why I have forearm pain.
You're welcome my friend!
I dont feel any pain when i do pull ups but i got the injury when i was training hand stand and now it also hurts when i curls, i bought the tai chi ball and i hope this will help me :)
Good luck with your recovery! Let me know how it goes!
Yo bro, I have the same injury. Can also do pull ups and got it from training handstand. What did you do to make it go away?
@@jesset7142 i quit doing handstand and only train light weight in the gym and did tennis elbow rehab exercises
Fantastic teaching video! Got to release the scar tissue on my Right Brachioradialis! Learned a lot...yes, I developed pain there from the gym! Now I know better regarding best positions to protect my forearm and work with it's advantageous positions for my lifts! THANKS A LOT!
Glad I could help my friend!
I always thought I was doing something wrong with bicep curls. It turns the soreness is from my back row exercise where I lift the dumbbell with a hammer grip. I must be bringing the dumbbell up too high and it's putting a lot of stress on my brachioradialises.
Glad the video was of some help!
Couldn't get the ache out of my left arm, finally I got it rubbed out a little to release, thank you
Happy to help!
I love to do pull ups, I was doing 50-100 a day and my forearm has been hurt for over a month + from it. I’ve been trying to work thru it. It sucks bc it’s a lingering pain.
Forearm/elbow tendonitis can linger for months. Avoid exercises/activities that directly aggravate it, lots of ice, and work some of the fascial release techniques on my video. It will eventually go away. Hang in there!
@nikolaj 27 Yes. I got one of those massage guns that helped it.
I wanna be the first to say thank you I got my tai chi ball and now I can do hammer curls again I swear I didn’t think I would bounce back that fast
That's awesome to hear!!
Me watching this while in pain 😭😂
Me too, cant straighten my arm
Relate much 😭🙃😔😂
Holy smoke I can’t believe it!
It worked immediately after doing 5 reps for my forearm
God bless you
Awesome!!!
This is the first video I have seen of yours. I love the level of detail and science-based explanation. I will definitely check out your website.
I have had this lingering pain just above and below my elbow, for probably a year and half, that makes hammer curls painful so I avoid them. Tonight I tried hammer curls with a slight rotation to workout the brachioradialis and they were basically impossible even with a very low weight (20 lbs). I have gone to PT for months and gotten zero results (we had assumed this was tennis elbow), but now I think the whole treatment regiment was based on a wrong diagnosis. So, two questions: Is there a good way to confirm that this is, in fact, from my brachiradialis? If you are familiar with gua sha, do you think that would be more or less effective than the techniques in this video?
Thanks you very much for putting this out there!
The brachioradialis is a pretty easy muscle to palpate. Palpate around the muscle. If it's tight and tender then there's a good chance that it's a problem. Also, pain on hammer curls is a common issue. The techniques I demonstrate are ones that I instruct my patients on. I am familiar with gua sha but not trained to perform it. Therefore, I can't really answer that question. Good luck my friend!
Are you kidding me, I've had pain for weeks, maybe a couple of months, then one go doing the stretches w a la crosse ball and before you video ended I'm almost ok! Wow thanks doc!
Glad I could help my friend!!
I hurt my self while doing hammer biceps
That's not uncommon. It's an awkward exercise that can put a lot of stress on the brachioradialis.
I did that frist on Wednesday the pain still exists on Saturday but I am able to workout , the pain literally disappears while doing workout
I did too.... it’s hurt for almost a year now. It’s terrible
@@Sick_and_Tired850 Any better now?
Thanks I now understand that I been stressing my brachioradialis the way i been doing chin ups. I had no clue until this video!
Happy to help!
I usually feel the pain when I’m high. It’s probably because I’m playing computer games for long period of time. 6-10 hours max
Thank you so much
Dr. Joe DeMarco. Hammer curls were out of the question.
You're welcome! Good luck!
@@OcraMedHealth I don't have a tai chi ball, but move in to the Brachioradialis hard and deep with 2 fingers from bottom to top. Works well.
Awesome!
Start at 3:40.
The beginning has good information.
Just ordered the ball and necklax. Thanks Joe
Thanks! It will ship out tomorrow!
Spot on and to the point. I appreciate the explanation on how it might start and how to release it, the fascial adhesion, the type of exercises likely to be the culprit (pull-ups, in my case) and that one shouldn’t expect it to get fixed overnight. Thank you.
Happy to help!
Amazing, doing it now few times a day, will update!
Best of luck!
