\"shoulder-pain\"<\/a>What we’re going to do today is talk about a different spin, a different look, at bicep tendonitis<\/strong>. We’re going to do this in two parts. The first part I’m going to talk about a different way of looking at it, a different way to thinking outside the box I’d say, for bicep tendonitis as well as the next one, is how to take care of it through the world of trigger point work. So we’ll do this in two steps.<\/p>\n

What I want you to understand about bicep tendonitis is its just information of overused, overtaxed, or a malfunctioning bicep muscle which has two heads to it. Let’s take a look at that<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

All right. The bicep muscle itself has two heads, the long head and the short head. What you have to understand about this bicep muscle is it flexes at the elbow, it helps the elbow flex – which means close – as well as it helps work with shoulder range of motion in the forward view. So it bends, it holds things up in front of you, et cetera, et cetera. What I noticed is I see a lot of easier cases of bicep tendonitis when the head of the shoulder gets inflamed because it’s overused and it no longer fits in the Lamina groove. What I want you to do is touch the front part of your shoulder and if you rub back and forth you’re going to feel a bump. Sometimes you might feel a pop or something move, that’s this bicep tendon at the top of the shoulder popping in and out of the groove. Sometimes, also people lift up their arms and they hear a pop or a click, that’s this muscle popping in or out of this groove. That’s the easier out of the two bicep heads to work with. The harder of the two is the short head because short head actually runs underneath the bone and near the shoulder and hits a part of the scapula that pokes out, hits the undertow. What happens is when you work with your arms and you lift your arms up, you actually might – most likely will – roll your shoulder in and it starts to grind inside the joint. Now that makes this whole muscle inflamed and then you have trouble because now your habit loop is actually grinding consistently to make this muscle become inflamed. Every time you pick up your arm it’s actually grinding. We\u2019re working with a deeper habit.<\/p>\n
