    • @PTTimewithTim
      @PTTimewithTim  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks for the questions. Ideally, these exercises would replace any other upper-body exercises temporarily until the biceps irritation has decreased significantly. I start people off by performing the stretches multiple times per day and the harder strength-based exercises daily, until they begin to use heavier weights, which then reduces frequency to every other day.

    • @PTTimewithTim
      @PTTimewithTim  7 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Boxing uses the biceps a lot and it could easily further aggravate biceps tendonitis, especially from the quick, powerful movements. If it were me, I would hold off on boxing and focus more on strengthening the supporting musculature such as the rotator cuff and scapular muscles while reducing the biceps irritation. Then, once you're able to tolerate the boxing movements without increased biceps pain, it's game on. You really should read my article on biceps tendonitis as it could be quite helpful to you.

    How long does this take on average to heal and how often should you massage, which is nearly impossible to do myself as I have it in both shoulders

    • @PTTimewithTim
      @PTTimewithTim  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Typically the massage is recommended to do 2-3x/day. It's just a gentle massage to help relax the tight, irritated muscle. You could try resting one elbow on the armrest of a couch or chair while that arm is massaging the other side. That way you won't have to actively hold the arm bent while massaging. You definitely should read my in-depth article on biceps tendonitis which explains everything in more detail and includes alternative treatment options as well.

    Great to find these exercises 👍 However a few hours after doing them I feel pain/dull achy/tenderness in the process on the front of my shoulder. Also slightly more along the top of the ligament. I’m assuming though that I will feel a little more discomfort after doing them as I’m working the area. Is this normal? Just wanted to check as didn’t want to keep doing them if I’m making things worse (it has only been every other day for 4 days so early days)
    Thanks 🙏

    • @PTTimewithTim
      @PTTimewithTim  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hello Clare, the point of these exercises specifically is to help relax the bicep and allow it to heal while strengthening all of the supporting muscles around it. It is very important to know that we are not trying to strengthen the bicep at this stage as biceps tendinitis is an overuse injury, so trying to strengthen it would just irritate it further.
      Each exercise should only be performed within a pain free range of motion. Each exercise can be modified as needed (whether that is slightly changing the direction of movement or shortening up the overall movement) to ensure that it is not recreating the shoulder pain. It should still create muscle fatigue in other areas of the shoulder but not in the front part. Otherwise, leave out that specific exercise and continue with the others.
      Also, it is important to keep in mind all of the other daily activities that one does throughout the day (ex. Carrying groceries, driving, etc) that can also aggravate the bicep, so always keep that in mind. You should check out my full article on biceps tendinitis that covers all aspects in-depth: pttimewithtim.com/biceps-tendinitis-exercises/

    • @PTTimewithTim

      Typically the popping is caused by the tendon popping over the bone as it moves. Usually elevating the arm a bit higher towards the ceiling will reduce this sensation.

    Hi Tim I was diagnosed with tendinopathy in long head of bicep tendon on my left arm in April.
    The acute pain is reduced.
    Little Swelling is present in the upper part of thr bicep muscle.
    But the range of motion is not improving. Still painful to reach my arm overhead with very lite weigh (an apple).
    And when I rub the tendon it pains.
    I'm doing the rehab exercises religiously.
    My question is, is it going to improve ever. I'm starting to give up. Thanks

    • @PTTimewithTim
      @PTTimewithTim  8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Sorry to hear about your injury. It is possible for the distal biceps tendon to be partially torn, which could explain how you would pass the hook test yet still have weakness. The other alternative could be that the muscle belly was torn, though this would usually show up as significant bruising in the area. I assume you haven’t had any imaging done on it yet..

    • @PTTimewithTim
      @PTTimewithTim  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi Philip, no the exercises are not meant to aggravate the biceps tendonitis. As mentioned in the video, if you have pain while performing a certain exercise, trying reducing the weight, shortening the range of motion to a pain free range, or just skipping that exercise all-together if it just doesn’t seem to be working for you. With that said, it is important to also remember that doing everyday activities (outside of the exercises) can also continue to aggravate biceps tendinitis.

      Try to limit the overall range of motion for each exercise, so that you’re only moving through the pain free range only (stopping just shy of when the pain starts). If you still struggle with it, then just skip that one altogether until you can revisit it when it’s less painful.

    • @PTTimewithTim
      @PTTimewithTim  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks for the question. Think of shoulder tendonitis as an umbrella term that could be used to describe several the inflammation of several different muscles/tendons that are located in the shoulder. Biceps tendonitis, however, is only specifically describing inflammation of the bicep muscle/tendon that is located on the front side of the arm. Pain with lifting the arm out to the side of the body is more often caused by Rotator Cuff Tendonitis rather than biceps tendonitis. I have a couple of great articles that guide you in how to determine if you have each that I think you should read.

    I dont have any pain or anything. I was doing calf raises where the pads is on your shoulder and u lift upwards and i felt the left pad compress a nerve on my left side in my shoulder somewhere and my arm went numb for a second. Ever since then ive felt like ive had restricted movement on my left upper body. Its been a month now and ive never had pain but ive tried to work out upper body twice now and its weird. I can lift perfectly fine and curl fine with my right arm and bicep, but when it comes to my left arm, i can barely do half as many reps, and my bicep isnt even flexed. For example ill do curls, right side perfectly fine and i can go until i feel that my bicep is actually tired. Whereas my left side, ill be curling then all of a sudden i just cant do the next rep even though my bicep tired or anything. It just stops working. If you know anything and can give me advice, thatd be great

    • @PTTimewithTim
      @PTTimewithTim  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for commenting Jonathan. I’m sorry to hear about your injury. While I can’t give you specific medical advice or a diagnosis, I can say that the symptoms you are describing definitely sound like a nerve compression injury. Nerves are super slow healers. They control your muscles and when they are injured, the muscles that they innervate will feel weak and fatigue quickly. I’m guessing that you were probably lifting some pretty heavy weight on the bar. With never compression injuries, they can take 3-6 months or even sometimes longer to fully heal depending on how bad the initial injury was. Typically they heal on their own and the person would notice a gradual return of muscle control over time. If I didn’t notice any improvements within the next month, then I would seek out medical care with a neurologist because they could do a nerve conduction velocity test to determine the true severity of the nerve damage. Hope this helps 👍

    The pectoralis is a broad muscle. It extends from the clavicle above down as far as the 73 below, and its origins. Stretching it at one height as you demonstrate on the video is not sufficient. It needs to be done that at least three different heights, including below the shoulder, at the shoulder, and above the shoulder for further inclusion of the pectoralis minor, when the palms are held on the wall above the shoulder, the wrist can be bent downward, and ulnar deviation
