Bicep Tendinopathy - Shoulder Rehab Part.1 | Feat. Tim Keeley | No.195 | Physio REHAB

[@kellyslandscaping2392]

FINALLY! I fixed my rotator pain behind my shoulder only to have this front pain appear days later. I’ve been trying to get rid of it through rotator cuff workouts to no avail for a long time. I did these workouts and immediately it felt better! Thank you!!!!

[@physiorehab]

Great news! Glad you are getting better

[@seansansone4085]

Same exact thing happened to me literally the same exact thing

[@colinsmith1288]

​​@@physiorehab Can l ask did you get any nerve irritationm in your forearm and shoulder blade. Mine is not painful but the tendiopathy in my upper bicep is still sore although less so than six weeks ago when l, developed the problem. Have you resolved your symptoms yet?

[@alexr.graffi9753]

Can I ask What I should do After longhead tendonitis iflamation to feel the muscle?

[@bkjackson8092]

Thanks for this. Bicep weakness after rotator cuff injury is absolutely maddening!!!!

[@tedcochrane528]

This is the first video which identified both problems which are rotator cuff injury and now bicep tendinitis. I tried your exercises but it only inflamed my bicep tendinitis. Had to ice and use no bands or weights for first week. While my bicep tendinitis was calming down I doubled up on my rotator cuff exercises (5 of them Concentrating on good form more than I was first few months) on the advice from a different video which stated that your bicep tendinitis will never heal until your rotator cuff muscles are strengthened enough to hold your shoulder in the right place. A week of intensifying my rotator cuff exercises and rear delt strengthening and my shoulder is 100 times better. I have also been hanging twice a day for months which has really helped with strength and mobility. The turning point for me was doing rotator and back exercises which didn’t turn on the front delt and inflame my bicep tendinitis. Thanks for your video.

[@trashplayz6622]

what were the rotator cuff exercises that u did

[@janesong9352]

OT!

[@JohnnyDubC]

Awesome video! Thought I had a rotator cuff issue but the traditional theraband exercises I was doing didn't seem to help. This guy nailed it. I have a strained proximal bicep tendon (short head). The very first exercise I did I felt it exactly in the right spot (in a good way) and knew immediately this was the rehab exercise needed. No need to pay a doctor thousands for MRIs with no conclusive result.

[@physiorehab]

John Channell nice one thanks john

[@ehsansaid3684]

How long it took not to feel no pain

[@toothy5d]

16 yrs ago started my career as a massage therapist with chronic proximal bicep tendon pain. 2014-current now a licensed physical therapist assistant and still have this pain on and off. Ive had 2 MRIs and 2 cortisone shots (small intersitilal infraspinatus/supraspinatus junction and chronic bicep long head tenosynovitis. Seeing a PT for dry needling right now. Im hopeful after watching this and will incorporate this into my fitness routine.

But, i am glad for Tim's expertise on addressing these type issues. Thanks very much !

Thank you, that first exercise fixed my pain within five days doing it every day two times of 4sets with 10 reps. Pain was getting very annoying. Didn't stop me climbing but couldn't do push ups as the pain was to strong ( and not trying to push my luck just yet) , even in every day life was often painful. Now pain has gone, such a great exercise! Thanks again!

Hey Tim, I had shoulder surgery about 6 months ago, and found your videos. I used your channel videos, and what my physical therapist recommended. Shoulder doing great! Great material, and a happy subscriber! All the Best!

[@physiorehab]

Thanks Richard! Great feedback and glad the videos have helped your shoulder :)

[@TaxEvasi0n]

This might be the video to solve all my problems. I haven't been to a physio but I'm 100% sure I have a biceps tendonitis. I've also had a supraspinatus incident, and I know for sure my rotator cuff as a whole is weak as piss. My right shoulder clicks every tome my elbow passes behind my back doing pulls, but it's my left shoulder with all the pain and prominent issues. Thanks to this video I know for sure I have to fix my bicep tendonitis first before anything else comes. I tried these rehab exercises with 0 weight and it's feeling good. You explained it really thoroughly which I appreciate. All the other videos I've watched from other KZbinrs don't cover the other bases. This also cleared up any overhead presses, I'll lay off them until my biceps T is feeling better. I guess connective tissue work will now be a constant thing for me if I want to continue being injury free. Kind of annoying but that's what's got to be done I guess.

[@physiorehab]

Ok glad the exercises and video helped, make sure you work on the scapula pressing and the rest of the rotator cuff too as most times there are associated or even causing issues in there

[@TravisInCanada1]

Something I recently stumbled upon during my rehab is how effective Electrotherapy has been for my recovery. I went into it with no expectations and was pleasantly surprised how well it worked to take the recovering discomfort away (25minutes of it has done wonders for me). I am still using ice but also use an Electrotherapy machine now too.

Awesome video Tim. Came across this as my surgeon wants me to do a bicep tenodesis surgery which i'm really skeptical about. I had a slap tear about 10 years ago but have been battling bicep tendinopathy for years. I think I am going to give your workouts a crack cos I am really worried about another surgery which changes the whole anatomy of the shoulder

[@physiorehab]

Make sure you really sort the rotator cuff out with bicep issues. Having a bicep tenodesis is not all bad especially if their is a non-healing labral tear. physiorehab.com for the shoulder programs

[@George-pz6mj]

@@physiorehab Thanks Tim. Surgeon said my labrum repair still looks ok. I want to a different surgeon who didnt even look at the imaging and just said i should do a tenodesis surgery. Just skeptical about it being the solution. Am def keen to take your advice on the rotator cuff work before surgery and giving that a proper crack

Thank you very much. I have all the problems that these exercises would help. Bad posture due to excessive sitting and slumping badly to watch TV and have really have posterior tilt and forward slump. All exercises especially the 2nd exercise seems to work wonders in that I feel the contraction exactly around my spiner from top part of neck going down but one thing I noticed is my neck seems to be getting strained in those last 2 exercises as well. Any tips to help with this or is that a natural to feel, since I feel like I've to constantly stretch around my neck area as well during my day to day activities as well?

[@rj1888thetruth]

Hey quick question for you… I have been playing a lot of volleyball and feel pain in my right swinging shoulder. I thought it was a shoulder impingement at first but then realised my upper bicep tendon hurts after a fast swinging motion. Pretty sure it’s not a tear as it only hurts during Hawkins test and speeds test. with rest/ice and these exercises, how long does it take to pass the speeds/Hawkins test? Thanks!

[@physiorehab]

Keep strengthening and testing. Everyone has different recovery speeds but 3 months should be a lot better

Rotator cuff as priority

Hi Tim, I had a partial tear at the long head of my biceps 3 weeks ago, pain and inflammation are getting better so will start doing these exercises.

[@chandoarmstrong3257]

Tim, I have had a proximal long head biceps injury alone with supraspinstus and possible infraspinatus pathology. I’m curious if it’s more important to work on my scapulo thoracic muscles, serratus anterior or my rotator cuff muscles. Genetically my scapulas rest at a downward rotating position, winged scapula. So what is more important? I have watched several seminars you have did and you are very knowledgeable!!!

[@physiorehab]

Chando Armstrong you cant really do one without the other. These exercises in this video should always be done with the scapula work. Don’t choose one over the other get it all done :)

[@chandoarmstrong3257]

Thank you SO MUCH sir!!!!! I will continue to try my best to progress. It’s healing but very slowly. I have high laxity in my ligaments and I’m pretty sure I damaged my AC joint/labrum because of the instability and weakness after repetitive movements. MDI to be exact, I can pop my humeral head in and out of socket. I have chronic, dull pain and sometimes I feel impingement when I continue to do things at work. I DONT want surgery, it’s bilateral but the right is worse than the left. I know you can’t “diagnose” me but if you could possibly give me a little rehab workouts to do to heal my ligaments better I would appreciate it. I’ve been taking glucosamine with condroitin MSM triple strength twice a day. 😁

[@modestasaso7488]

@@physiorehab Thank you so much for the video. I fell on ice black and suffering exactly what you described in this video because I went back to my normal life ignoring that I suppose to let it rest to recover then, go for some physiotherapy. I got two shoots of Depo-Medrol, one in each shoulder. I was reading about the side effects and are really bad. I got dizzy as soon as I got the shoots. I am new in this, so I am wondering if it was a typo with the theta band because I couldn't find it on my search. Do you mean Thera? Thank you

[@ErinM-2024]

I was just diagnosed with mild tendinosis in my shoulder. Does tendinosis cause popping? I’ve heard and I’ve heard no.

[@physiorehab]

Not necessarily. It may lead to instability which maybe the popping

[@milesmcstylez]

I have that same issue (partial rotator cuff tear caused bicep tendinopathy). Right now, even just doing the eccentric motion with a bent elbow and no resistance (weight of my arm) is enough to cause some pain. Does that mean it's too soon to start loading the tendon?

[@physiorehab]

Not necessarily. Try follow my rehab program: www.physiorehab.com/rehab-programs-shoulder-injury-surgery-rehab

Are you in any pain during these? My pain level is a 7 and physical therapy is rough. I'm 6 weeks in and no better. Dr won't do mri until we try PT.

[@1426Decatur]

Thanks Tim. I just stumbled upon this and you hit the nail on the head! I've just started PT (had eval) and will see if they approach it this way. PT does not suspect rotator tear, but does suspect biceps tendonopathy. Question: I'm 72 y/o. And cautionary advice for the "older body?"

[@physiorehab]

Go easy on the load but stay consistent. LHB tendons with tendinopathy are at risk of failure in that age bracket with too much load and/or lack of conditioning

[@mp757]

Hi Tim...great videos and deep explanations. I have a question, hope that you will respond. I have pain in front shoulder in the most upper part where humerus meets capsule, under acromion. In flexed elbow position and shoulder extension, when pressing flexed elbow behind into wall as well as laterally pressing elbow into wall, also when tucking my shirt into pants. Is it most probably biceps tendon issue? Shoulder flexion and also lifting arm up to 180 is quite ok no significant pain but extension is terrible. Thanks a lot for your reply.

[@physiorehab]

I would defiantly look at your scapula movement as well as the posterior cuff strength and function as it maybe a biomechanics issue underlying that

[@alpkankirayoglu9153]

I had a rotator cuff injury 4 years ago and I did not take care. Last year I started having an extreme sharp pain in front of the shoulder every time I stick the shoulder out forward. Can this be related to the original rotator cuff injury?

Most likely. Perhaps you need to work on the rehab

[@raynoldcorcho]

Hi, I'm looking for some advice on this topic I get since months a painful click, mostly in the front of my shoulder, like in connection with the bicep where the pain also first started. But sometimes it also seems to click on the side, behind or maybe just around the shoulder elsewhere. Also many times it feels as though the ache came from the very inside/center of the shoulder, where massage I believe can't reach, and also I sometimes just feel muscle tightness or soreness around the area This appeared just a day or two after doing some chest push ups, and the following day working on biceps and many variants of shoulder with an elastic, a pretty mid weight one. At first I just felt a little chest pain, just like the normal common ache you feel sometimes after exercise, mostly when not having exercised in a while and then going back to it. But then and still now, the clicking and pain has been mostly around the shoulder/bicep So since it's continued for so long without success, I'm reaching out to see if I can get some answers/advice Also I've tried: massage, stretching, mobilizing, strengthening.. And I also know of others that I tried, am trying or considering to try like ice, resting, using an arm holder.. Sometimes I think whether I may have done just too much self massage or stretch to the point it may've been counter productive.. like irritating instead of helping recover Other than that, the only other thing that I'm trying to see if works, is trying to have my shoulders more to the back (posture). This one I heard many times so I thought to give it a try. Just a few days trying it, seems to be doing some effect...but the painful clicking is still there...we will see I heard the explanation is that shoulders to the front posture can irritate or inflame the area of the shoulder and produce or worsen this kind of thing sometimes But, honestly, so far I feel like I've tried many things as you can see, and none have worked...so I would just like to listen to suggestions on what might be the key point to understand why it is still clicking, and how to solve it. So far the rough idea or notion I can say to have about this is that it's basically just an inflammation that causes the clicking. Would like to confirm this, or at least have some more explanation to understand how this works/confirm this would be why my shoulder clicks, or what else could be. Btw, the clicking happens in different movements, like circular movements or just perhaps any movement...reaching the arm to the front, etc, not necessarily upwards Hope I can get some info/advice, I'd really appreciate it. Many thanks! Greetings

Can you also get tendonitis on the short head of the biceps?

[@physiorehab]

Yes but not as common

[@marshallsweatherhiking1820]

I’ve had both at the same time. Bench pressing a lot made my chest tight and it just pulled all the way down my left arm. I didn’t tear anything but I just got this dull burning sensation that would shoot down my left bicep. It also burned on the inside of my elbow when I straightened my arm and twisted my palm to the left. I went from doing sets with 135 lbs to doing sets with 225 lbs in like a year, but then I had to stop due to mild tendinitis that just never completely went away. My left shoulder has never been quite the same. Most of the time I don’t have pain, but my shoulder will just randomly lock up for a few weeks at a time. Sometimes it’s so bad I will need a sling for a few days. I usually find out my shoulder is starting to bind up when I get a big electric zing down my arm when I reach behind me to grab something from the back seat of the car. Oh, and even when there is no pain I have a weird clicking sensation in the trap area right above my left shoulder. When I move my shoulder forward and back it feels like something isn’t moving quite right.

Hi Tim, my wife has a related injury. She can't flex her right elbow. What caused this was 2 years ago, she let our newborn's head rest on her right bicep when he slept. Her right upper arm would feel numb after this. After a few weeks, her right bicep no longer had strength. It can't even lift up the weight of the right forearm. We've seen numerous doctors but none could help. Because of this, her right shoulders and traps had to compensate, giving her pain in her right rhomboid area between her shoulder blades as well.

Its not sore in the morning or anything but during training it’s hurting, especially while Im at the starting/end position of doing a cable row or lat prayer. Would these exercises help for me too, or am I suffering from something else? :(

[@physiorehab]

They could do - if not then I suggest a more personalised structured rehab program

[@olearyiii8796]

I have the identical issue. I can feel it from the front of the shoulder into the chest slightly

[@jayrico7962]

Is this why my long head of my bicep on my left arm is really soft while my right hand is rock hard when flexed

[@physiorehab]

If could be!

[@bettychandler5329]

Can I do these exercises if I have a torn bicep?

[@physiorehab]

Not In the acute stage

[@dawnroberts6688]

I use to do 10kg everyday not much but just to put definition in my arms but I became ill severe anxiety I stopped doing weights 7 weeks ago and now my arms have gone weaker .. my bicep seems to shudder when I move my arm up and down it likes shakes a bit but I have been so tenced 24/7 with my anxiety my arm seems to just automatically tence now on it’s own so when I try relax it it seems to want to go back into tence mode but I am worried if the shaky feeling is normal

[@physiorehab]

The shakiness may just be weakness. Aim for gradual slow increases and take your time :)

@@physiorehab ooo that’s interesting I started having all these weird symptoms after a virus 7 weeks ago x my gp thinks I might have osteoarthritis I. Hands because of my symptoms and plus I have had all other tests and mri xx

[@briellehughes8724]

How many reps and sets do you recommend?

[@physiorehab]

Does depend but usually around 3-4 sets x 10-12 reps

[@joshl1984]

is it normal to feel irritation or burning in the bicep tendon after physio for bicep tendonitis?

[@craig5242]

That is what I feel constantly. I have been dealing with it for several months. Very frustrating injury.

@@physiorehab Thank you so much

[@CMPunkfan954]

I'll like to know can this be done with resistance bands sir?

[@physiorehab]

I am using resistance bands!

[@CMPunkfan954]

@@physiorehab this type of resistance bands are tough to get here in Malaysia🥺 so I was wondering if i can use the regular resistance bands?

[@exothermic8525]

@@CMPunkfan954 if you don't have access to smaller resistance bands try to get a few bags of rubber bands, tie several of them together until you have a good length. This is something I've been doing during the rehab process since larger exercise bands are too much for my injury.

Can you reverse a biceps tendinopathy?

[@physiorehab]

Reverse? You mean strengthen?

[@foowishamewican]

@@physiorehab well I thought tendinopathy was degeneration.

[@hichits]

Thanks a lot for sharing , I could feel some positive difference immediately. Hopefully it will help to recover soon, just started doing last 2 days....

[@physiorehab]

[@20noldi]
