This fixed me. 2 years of pain, 2 MD’s, chiropractor, massage and physical therapist. No relief. I have been doing this for 4 days and 90% of pain is gone. These guys are outstanding.
These two guys have helped me get rid of so many pains from exercise or other physical related issues. My left arm was becoming useless from the aching I had and these guys show me one stupid spot to massage on my arm and a couple hours later the pain is pretty much non-existent.
I was somewhat skeptical about this but I was in lots of pain. I cut out all exercises, iced 3 times a day and massaged my shoulder and bicep as demonstrated above. After 2 weeks, I switched to heat and kept massaging. After 5 weeks, my shoulder and bicep were pain free and I started light stretching and exercising. At 7 weeks, I am almost back to full strength. Thank you, guys, this really did the trick for me.
Just as Sophomore :D said below, that's going to be the hardest part for me if I commit to doing this - not working out! My biceps tendon on my left shoulder has been killing me for just about 2-3 years. It started right after I had biceps tenodesis surgery on my right shoulder. All MRIs came back negative for any tears on my left shoulder though. I've already gone through physical therapy but no dice. Medication doesn't work and I notice that lifting does often irritate it more. Maybe the key is COMPLETE rest for a little while. This may be my last resort...
@@kzuik1 i think i got the same ,well my muscular bulge bit where the acromion lies it impinges pain when i bench or do overhead press of any kind, massaging the deep tissue for 3 mins twice a day really helped me helps break down the damage tissue and reform itself properly
@@dawg4769 thats what im saying fuck that im gonna end up ripping the tendon right off pushing 225 and lifting 40lb dumb bells every other day it does hurt like a bitch for real
I went to a physical therapist for this and she told me it was all due to weakness in my shoulder blade and gave me a bunch of stretches and exercises that I have done for months with very little improvement. I watch this video and start doing the massage you just showed, it's the first relief I've had in months, I feel kindof dumb because it seems pretty simple but seriously thank you guys.
So many articles on this injury and as always Bob and Brad have the best and most practical solutions. Just wonderful, thanks so much for doing these videos!
Holy crap I am constantly amazed at your knowledge. Every time I follow your lead the pain disappears. I think that I have all kinds of injuries or issues that I live with and don't know how to fix. And neither does anyone else! I think you both must have had high grades in school because you are so good at what you do. Thank you.
Fantastic! Been struggling with this for weeks after going up in weight too fast, Doc referred me to a Physical therapist but there's a 3 month waiting list. Watched dozens of vids none, of them got it right. Followed your diagnosis method, 1st negative, 2nd negative, 3rd positive. Started doing the massage 4x5 mins every other day a week ago. This fixed it for 90% in a week. Very slowly, as per your caution, starting to build up strength in it again. Thank you very much! Subscription earned.
I am amazed at how you two always get it spot on. I’ve been to doctor, chiro, osteo’s acupuncture, had cortisone injection. You guys have made the best explanation and best excercises.
Wow so refreshing to hear solutions and treatment that aren’t surgery. I have a slight tear but my bicep is a bit higher than normal. Thanks for the techniques
OMG !! Thank you so much... My chiropractor checked my pain out yesterday and told me it was the bicipital tendinitis so I started looking for some treatment, and your video has helped me already. Especially the cross tendon massage.
Thank you. I’ve had chronic shoulder & neck pain for years. In and out of PT for frozen shoulder impingement. Never thought it was bicep tendonitis. But I did your test and that pain was excruciating! I rubbed it as shown and saw a difference. I’m going to try this for a week. Thank you!
In 1985 I landed on my Rt shoulder playing flag football. in 2004 I tore my Bicep longhead tendon throwong down to 2nd, and had it repaired. The doctor said it very frayed. Besides the tube exercises and swimming I didn't know what to do to help that pain. With the deep tendon massage you suggest I'm feeling a relief immediately! It makes so much sence. Thank you genlemen to very much. Yes at 62 I'm still a baseball oldtimers catcher and still love it. Thanks again for being there!
Great video and explanation. You mentioned the rotator cuff often contributes to this and I believe that is the case for me. Is there a specific video that addresses rotator cuff exercises to do specifically related to biceps tendinitis? I know you have many fabulous videos, just don't want to aggravate one thing trying to fix another. if there are specific RC exercises or stretches for this, would love to know where to find them.
My doc recommended an mri to check tear and pt to fix. I said I will consult B&B first. So glad I have. No need for trips to pt. I’ll be doing what these guys recommend. They never steer us wrong. ❤️❤️
What you said about the rotator cuff, that if it is weak, the bicep will come in and help some more. Excellent, thank you! I likely know the reason for my frequent bicep tendon pain now.
This was so helpful I currently have Tendinitis in my bicep which has also caused some shoulder pain and doing these exercises from this video has really helped thank you so much
Bob and Brad this has helped me alot as never had bicep tendonitis before going to follow the advice and hopefully be back to normal and pain free again soon thanks very much great characters aswell 👍💪💙
I typically do not comment on CZcams but I have to with you guys you are both absolutely amazing and have helped me out with several problems since I started lifting weights again and I greatly appreciate it
Love these guys. Putting pressure on the inward-rotated arm, out or down, easily reproduced the pain for me. Most effective biceps tendinitis test I've tried. And the cross-friction massage works very well
I’m so happy I found this channel. Idk if u 2 are still doing this. But thank u. I’ve been struggle with injuries for awhile and my bicep was the main issue
Woohoo! After four sessions of PT for my upper arm pain (aka shoulder pain) and two subsequent surgeries it is so nice to see a video explaining my problem After finally getting a bicep tenodesis surgery I am "mostly" pain free except when I need to do some heavy lifting as in helping someone move. I know, I know..l should have been doing my upper back strengthening exercises to protect my bicep tendon. Ah...well, life happens.
Bob and Brad are great they've helped me a few times on different tendons and secondary muscles etc. Thanks so much Bob and Brad! Strong like Bull....! 😃👍🏼
My PT diagnosed me with bicep tendonitis late last year and it acts up every month or two just like you described. Will try the Cross-fiber massage hopefully that helps it heal better. Thanks again
You two are great together. I subscribed. Thank you. Been suffering with bicep tendinitis for 4 months. Sleeping is impossible. It hurts the most when trying to sleep.
OMG i have had a problem with my distal bicep tendon being ridiculously tight for literally as long as I can remember. I dislocated/labral tear etc/shoulder surgery on that side, so I figured that made it worse as well. i literally just did this all up and down my bicep tendon and it WORKS. like it worked INSTANTLY. I'm mind blown. thank you SO much. Not my only injury so I'm gonna go watch every single video you have now
You ever find anything good on this? I have really bad pain at my elbow joint / low bicep when doing the test they do in this video no pain at the top of my shoulder… this is killing me I don’t know what to do :(
I love you guys! I have been in acute pain for nine months. The ortho doc told me to rest the arm. Well, that is difficult to do when You must hold on to go down the stairs, and must take care of every day chores and work. I’m going to try this massage technique. Thank you so much for addressing this injury.❤❤❤
I failed the spurling test. It gives me pain when pressure on my neck into my shoulder. Meanwhile my orthopedic just diagnosed me for bicep tendonitis. Thank you
Bob an Brad, this is one of several videos which were the BEST treatment for arm pain I have been suffering for months! You are losing money by giving fee advice. But not really as if you had an office, I'd go visit you anyways. I',m commenting on all which helped me.
These guys are just great!! 😊Thank you... Finally some semi-older guys with wise and calm attitude and a lot of humour. I am so tired of all those young body builder type men spamming CZcams! 😎
I discovered I have a torn long head bicep tendon in my dominant arm a few months ago only because I noticed the muscle looked funny (the Popeye look). An orthopedic surgeon confirmed it and told me that generally the only reason people surgically reattach it is for cosmetic reasons. He could not believe that I did not feel pain when it detached. Over the years (I'm now 63) I've had shoulder pain (both sides) on and off so maybe that was bicep tendinitis. Who knows. All I know is right now my arms and shoulders are essentially pain free and I'm continuing with my routine of sets of pull ups and pushups in the park and light weights in the gym. I have a feeling some day the other one will detach, maybe it's hereditary. But for my age I'm in great health and super active. John Elway won two superbowls with a detached long head tendon in his throwing arm!
I wish mine would detach like that--I actually need to go thru surgery to get that result to deal with a labral tear! (tenotomy) And that is a very cool factoid about Elway--my surgeon kept trying to convince I wouldn't notice the 5% loss of strength and I'm like, I need ALL my strength because I have so little.
@@csm1813 As soon as the doctor mentioned Elway I knew where he was going with it because I happened to be in Denver that summer for business and it was all the local press was covering it seemed. "Will he play or won't he"?? Update at 11. lol. At that time I did not pay any attention to the specifics of his injury but when the surgeon brought it up I was definitely relieved. Still no issues, it just looks funny. Banged out 50 pullups today at the park. Good luck!
@@exalhoahi. Just found out I have a bicep tendon rupture in my dominant arm. I’m a very active 41/m. Can I get a hold of you to discuss your routine for recovery?
@@mnp8211 I don't do much TBH. After seeing the orthopedic surgeon I saw a physical therapist for one session and she recommended bicep stretches, which I do fairly regularly, and internal and external shoulder rotation exercises using a band. I do those once or twice a week. I still do the workouts I mentioned in my OP. Other than occasional weird twitchy feelings (from what's left of the tendon) everything is fine. I have arthritis in the wrist of that arm from an old injury and that bothers me more than the bicep issue in day to day activities. Good luck.
You spoke about offering up other exercises to build the four muscles in the shoulder blades to help support the rotator cup and support the joint. Please share those. I have been in physical therapy for two months and it still hurts so bad!
Thank you so much for making this video! I tore both of my biceps and bicep tendons a while back and am so excited to learn about the massaging technique :) Cross your fingers for me that it helps!
I woke up this morning and my arm was so sore that I could barely move it. One of the emails I received this morning was from you guys with a link to this video. How did you know? I tried the exercises and I feel much better. You guys are great!
Had 2 shoulder surgeries on the right arm and am experiencing pain when lifting weights . I am an instructor and believe it could be scar tissue and possible bicep tendonitis. I loved your video here....very informative and simple to do at home. I will try. Thank you. Any other exercises would be helpful.
I swear to god i did this on my right biceps, where it inserts in the front of the shoulder in the glenoid, robbing across the muscle fiber as they said in the video. First 2 days i did it the area was really sore and i felt it. 2-3 weeks later i tried it and i felt NOTHING. It's insane! This really works thanks guys!!
Great info, answered some questions I could not find an answer for despite many (other) videos. (The first part not so clear; camera not zoomed in.) Thanking you.
Dear Bob and Brad, my husband I go to you here for everything and are so grateful for your generous videos, they have helped us over the years. My husband tore something this morning at work, the bicep definitely looks like the popeye type now. sounds like a proximinal tear...He's at the Dr right now, just want to know how you guys deal with those. Thankyou
Thank you for helping me figure out what was causing my pain. I kept watching your shoulder videos when I stumbled onto this one. Definitely the bicep tendon. Fabulous video(s). Keep them coming.
Just wanted to say thank you so much for your channel!! I do martial arts and am very active. I have had some injuries, and just having more information about my body has been really empowering and I have been able to take care of my body better. Of course, it doesn’t replace seeing a doctor, but knowledge is power!
I strained mine to the point doing hammer curls and just rotating from pronation to supination their was pain. Lifting a plate was crippling pain so iced it and then began lifting light weights on it where pain was very little and now it's much better where I can move plates around no pain.
III Eagle III yea bro I put ice to that area and massaged it with essential oil in between for about 4 times a day, and I was good within 3 weeks😊. This video is good, and I can CONFIRM this works😊
I went to a PT. They simply said don’t use/lift weights with it. I took the advice for one week, it was better. I’ve increased my activity and it is now back. I think a prolonged rest my do it good/repair any micro-tears.
Awesome thanks. Hurt my bicep 3 yrs ago never went to the doc. It started acting up to the point iv lost most my strength in that arm. I do construction so i need my arms. Thanks again.
My arm doesn't hurt if I aligned it with my body and bring it straight up ( upward motion like jumping jacks), but the side of my biceps will hurt if I first bend at the elbow and then go with the same motion. It doesn't hurt as bad but it is stopping me from doing certain activities.
I would recommend taking your thumb of opposite hand and separating the 2 biceps bellies and then try to lift away the bellies away from the bone individually. Work down to brachioradialis (outer forearm muscle) and do the same. Doing this on outer half of biceps and forearm is easier than inner half but do your best. Great way to massage and get more bloodflow to the area. Obviously if you have torn something all bets are off. In future when you are doing biceps curls, along with doing it the traditional way, it is very important to turn forearms about 30-40 degrees away from trunk while locking elbows against the trunk when doing biceps curls to give the biceps a more thorough workout with less future chance of injury.
This fixed me. 2 years of pain, 2 MD’s, chiropractor, massage and physical therapist. No relief. I have been doing this for 4 days and 90% of pain is gone. These guys are outstanding.
Shieet. That dope
thats borderline unbelievable... ;-)
Ya right! Lol no way
Why cant this ever be my story lmfao
I find that hard to believe but I will try it. How is it after two years?.
Every time I click on a video from you guys I think “it’s a free online resource how helpful could it be” and every time I’m amazed
6:40 for the actual treatment. You're welcome.
not all heros wear capes
God bless you, my good man.
thanks buddy
Thanks
In a world of cynicism, hate, destruction, anger and pain, every now and then, a hero arrives. Thank you chrokeii

My husband tore something this morning at work, the bicep definitely looks like the popeye type now. sounds like a proximinal tear...He's at the Dr right now, just want to know how you guys deal with those. Thankyou
Thank you, you guys saved my biceps.
hi love your stuff. can you do a video on distal bicep tendon pain
I have this 4 days now, the pain stopped yesterday till i lifted something heavy today.
Thanks guys! You helped me when I was in pain!
Bob and Brad some real ass people frfr, iiight ima fw you
Fantastic, that helped me a lot. Thank you so much
Thank you for helping me figure out what was causing my pain. I kept watching your shoulder videos when I stumbled onto this one. Definitely the bicep tendon. Fabulous video(s). Keep them coming.
Just wanted to say thank you so much for your channel!! I do martial arts and am very active. I have had some injuries, and just having more information about my body has been really empowering and I have been able to take care of my body better. Of course, it doesn’t replace seeing a doctor, but knowledge is power!
thank you guys. Godbless both of you. It worked for me very fast.
Studying for the NPTE you guys are great and have been really helpful.
I strained mine to the point doing hammer curls and just rotating from pronation to supination their was pain. Lifting a plate was crippling pain so iced it and then began lifting light weights on it where pain was very little and now it's much better where I can move plates around no pain.
My pain is in the lower part of my bicep. Inside part my elbow.
same and idk wht to do. im just following this but doing it for my lower part lets see if it works !!!
romit d.s any luck?
III Eagle III yea bro I put ice to that area and massaged it with essential oil in between for about 4 times a day, and I was good within 3 weeks😊. This video is good, and I can CONFIRM this works😊
romit d.s thanks for the quick response my man! I’ll give it a go myself. Got pain on inner elbow when I do a curl. I’ll give this a shot!
I went to a PT. They simply said don’t use/lift weights with it. I took the advice for one week, it was better. I’ve increased my activity and it is now back. I think a prolonged rest my do it good/repair any micro-tears.
Awesome thanks. Hurt my bicep 3 yrs ago never went to the doc. It started acting up to the point iv lost most my strength in that arm. I do construction so i need my arms. Thanks again.
Same boat buddy
This worked really well, thank you!
damn my man got boulders for biceps
Omg thank you thank you thank you! First time I felt relief in more than a week. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Thank you much for that massage therapy trick. I was worried this was a rotator cuff at first.
Joel M I hear ya there
My arm doesn't hurt if I aligned it with my body and bring it straight up ( upward motion like jumping jacks), but the side of my biceps will hurt if I first bend at the elbow and then go with the same motion. It doesn't hurt as bad but it is stopping me from doing certain activities.
So my issue is where the bicep tendon inserts in the lower part, I believe it's the distal bicep tendon. Any ideas on how to fix that?
I would recommend taking your thumb of opposite hand and separating the 2 biceps bellies and then try to lift away the bellies away from the bone individually. Work down to brachioradialis (outer forearm muscle) and do the same. Doing this on outer half of biceps and forearm is easier than inner half but do your best. Great way to massage and get more bloodflow to the area. Obviously if you have torn something all bets are off. In future when you are doing biceps curls, along with doing it the traditional way, it is very important to turn forearms about 30-40 degrees away from trunk while locking elbows against the trunk when doing biceps curls to give the biceps a more thorough workout with less future chance of injury.
@@favor9677 sounds great but I have trouble with the execution. Might there be a video? 😅
Thank you so much for this
