Trigger Point Release - Biceps

Trigger Points in the biceps are often associated with shoulder, back, and elbow pain
The biceps brachii decelerates extension and pronation at the elbow and extension at the shoulder joint.
It acts as a junction providing myofascial continuity between the thumb and the ribcage (especially obvious when the upper limb is abducted).
The muscle plays a vital role in shoulder stability under dynamic conditions, and can contract with the triceps brachii to stabilize the elbow.
Trigger Points
Myofascial trigger points typically evolve in the center of the belly and refer pain up toward the anterior deltoid and down toward the pronator teres, just distal to the elbow joint.
The neuromuscular therapy hypothesis includes weak core stability with poor neuromuscular efficiency, culminating in compensatory myofascial trigger point formation to provide additional tension.
Trigger points form in this muscle for a wide range of reasons including repetitive motion injuries, throwing/sports induced (e.g. basketball, tennis), lifting heavy objects with the palm upward (ex. weight training), musical instrument playing (ex. violin, guitar).

Man to be honest when I first saw this video I was like I'm not going to get anything out of this. Turned out to be one of the most informative Anatomy videos I've ever seen and I watch a lot of them

Superb video. Best one I've seen that describes not only how supination works with the distal attachment to the radius, but also how the trigger points in each of the two bicep muscle bellies refers pain into different spots.
Liking and commenting for the algorithm !

Thank you. I was feeling for TP in my Biceps and realized they were not firing. Probable why I am having pain near my shoulder blade and down the lateral erectors Bioccostalis m. , over compensating for biceps not working. Ive been retired for 10 year as a L.M.T. I'll be doing some gentle curls to WAKE THEM UP.

I'm suffering the same pain since November 2022 till now. I've done MRI twice, one for the elbow and one for the whole shoulder and biceps, surprisingly they found nothing wrong with the muscles nor the tendons which is very strange. i've tried PT, heat pads, massage ..... nothing changed. I'm so frustrated and can't do any biceps curls or or any light activity anymore. what could be the issue Doc?
