That Dreaded Bicep Tendon
Shoulder pain got your velocity down?
Cant do all the curls you used too?
Here’s my quick home tips to improve shoulder pain from bicep tendonitis
Recover- Fix the issues in the tissues so your body can absorb your training. Here we want to look at the collarbone, sternum, pec/ shoulder overlap, pec/ serratus/ lat overlap. Pick your favorite therapist, massage gun or cupping set and get to work.
Modify your training intensity. if your pain is 1/10 take 10% off your velocity & distance if your throwing, sprinting. Or 10% off your training weight if you’re in the gym. If its a 3/10 take 30% and so forth.
Lastly when training you want to avoid the ranges of motion that will put a greater strain on the bicep tendon. When bench pressing this would be the bottom position. So you would do board pressing or floor pressing instead. If you’re doing curl you’ll only do the top half of the range of motion.
Another way to help eliminate bicep stress is to ensure good lat activation so really focus on that mind muscle connection. If you dont know what your lat feels like come see Dr. Jimmy and he will use electro-acupuncture to active the lat as part of the treatment process.
