Try This Technique To Help Treat Bicep Tendinopathy

👉 Bicep tendinopathy is a condition characterized by pain and inflammation in the bicep tendon. This condition typically affects people who engage in repetitive overhead activities or weightlifting, such as athletes, gym-goers, and manual laborers.

👉 Symptoms of bicep tendinopathy include pain in the front of the shoulder, weakness in the arm, and difficulty lifting objects.

👉 Deep transverse friction is a type of massage therapy that can be beneficial in the treatment of bicep tendinopathy. This technique involves applying pressure to the muscle fibers of the affected area. This helps to break up scar tissue and stimulate blood flow to the area.

Bicep tendinopathy is a condition characterized by pain and inflammation in the bicep tendon. This condition typically affects people who engage in repetitive overhead activities or weightlifting, such as athletes, gym-goers, and manual laborers. Bicep tendinopathy is also common in older individuals due to natural wear and tear on the tendons. Symptoms of bicep tendinopathy include pain in the front of the shoulder, weakness in the arm, and difficulty lifting objects.

Deep transverse friction is a type of massage therapy that can be beneficial in the treatment of bicep tendinopathy. This technique involves applying pressure to the affected area perpendicular to the direction of the muscle fibers. This helps to break up scar tissue and stimulate blood flow to the area, which can promote healing. Deep transverse friction should only be performed by a trained professional to ensure that it is done correctly and safely.

Other treatments for bicep tendinopathy may include rest, ice, and physical therapy exercises to stretch and strengthen the affected area.

I wake up in such pain in my biceps. I cry because it is not going away would physio help this. I am afraid they may make it worse

Could you tell me the underlying issue thats could be causing this?

I'm surprised to still see content like that. The science has evolved, and it has been proven that deep tissue massage aggravates symptoms by applying compressive load on the tendon. If you have a tendinopathy, first give it a few days of rest and then do PT exercises to increase the tendon resistance. See the concept of Mechanical Stress Quantification for more details.

Unless you have calcified tendonitis and this will trigger the worst pain you ever experienced.

not helpful unless you have someone there to do this for you
