How long does it take to repair? I’ve had to go down in weights so that I don’t agrivate it more.

I was this many years old when I realized OcraMed was DeMarco spelled backwards 🤯

Hey there, not sure if you remember me. I'm the one who said "lifting while jaming out to music is great for the soul", which you left a heart on. I also left other comments on your videos about distal biceps tendonitis, which you also sent me links to for references about that paticular issue. However, I'm starting to think I have a minor brachioradialis tear from my symptoms from how I'm able to pin point(literally) where I feel it with an unclicked pen(pushing with an unclicked pen on your muscles is amazing for locating an injury that's kind of hard to locate). In the beginning, even days after this accumulative injury happened(way too many heavy sets of reclined hammer cable curls over the past year), I would get shooting pains running through the forearm just sitting there. Those subsided two weeks after it happened. If you take the inside of your left elbow, go down towards your wrist 1/2 inch, and then to the left 1/2 inch, that's where I pin pointed my pain, (when the arm is over worked in a supinated position), which is slightly left to the actual tendon(when doing a hook test). Looking up anatomy photos and matching symptoms, these seems to be more of a brachioradialis tear rather than biceps tendonitis. Once and a while I can feel something small where the bicep muscle seperates from the arm(when you do a raised arm front bicep flex), which is the opposite side you showed in this video. It's been almost 3 months and it still flares up, although very minor because I haven't done back and bi's or chest and triceps workouts since may 5th, so I don't give it a chance to really hurt like it did back then. However, it's not going away completly, even when I do general lifting things in daily life endeavors that involves that arm, (or at my job cause I work on an ambulance) , im reminded it's still there. Given the location I described from the inner elbow, and all the symptoms I've experienced since the beginning, would you lean towards that this is a brachioradialis type injury? And if do so, how long do they take to go away? Thanks Doc for reading this...

Thanks. Exactly my problem.

This is great info. How long should I wait before starting these exercises? 1 week after sustaining the injury? Any guidance you can provide would be greatly appreciated 🙏🏿. Thank you.

Excellent. I really need these.

Doc what is the reason for biscep long head pain , near the elbow,while doing a pull-up (wide grip/shoulder width).... even after warming up?

Thanks doc my mom uses a lot of your stuff you’ve taught us ❤

Love your videos.

Amazing! Thank you

Should these exercises be done daily?

First take a break for two weeks and ice heat rest treatment with light movement like taichi then after two weeks warm up properly and do these stretches every 2-3 days for a 2 weeks then gradually go back to training doing just your warm up sets for 2 weeks. I'm total 6 weeks rest. Then after your back and biceps workouts always stretch with these 3 max and don't over stretch

Thank you - the near the end the one w/ the rubber ball pushing into the SC joint while doing a benchpress motion ! GOT A GOOD CLUNK! I hope my pain is gone! so far it feels great. thank you! this has been months I've had awkward AC/SC joint pain! :O

Thank you sir!

Had this issue years ago on my right shoulder and this helped a ton. Now I am dealing with it on my left shoulder and I have been trying to find this video again! Now that I found it, its time to get to work! The only exercise that seems to cause me pain is incline bench...I dont want to drop the exercise until this gets better....should I do what my brain says and drop it? If is there an alternative you suggest to still work the upper chest?

Not 12lb head...Lawd...Ty you Dr.😅❤

Yep the Brachioradialis is a heavily utilized muscle in daily activities, very easy to over-train it/injure it and end up with a chronic condition if you don't treat it with respect and or do Dr. Joe's release work 👍👍 I recently discovered a way from a friend to use a tensor bandage and a large bouncey ball and extend the muscle under the pressure of the ball to mimic Active Release Technique without a second set of hands. I'm certain it will work better with those Tai Chi balls! Thanks Again Doc, you give us good pertinent content.

Thank you for these videos, Dr. DeMarco. My boxing club has had the fortune of finding your channel and following the multiple muscle release techniques you share.

As Mark Wildman and Donnie from Adex Clubs says, most shoulder injuries are a series of smaller injuries and lifestyle which eventually causes a big injury which is why they are club advocates. One summer I worked on a lawn crew. I was the guy who used the string trimmer. My 1 arm was always bent and I got biceps tendonitis from being in that shortened posting. Anyways, a doctor prescribed an elbow brace while I slept to keep my arm straight while I slept 8 hours. Solved my problems.

What would you recommend for hand/palm pain caused by gripping a barbell too tight? noticed some pain a couple weeks ago, after doing a landmine barbell deadlift. i don't use or want to use those grip assistants.

More awesome info-thanks Joe!!!!

Thanks

could mixed grip deadlifts cause this too?

What could be a cause of this pain?

Me as a 18 year boy watching him saying if u have a pain then you are my community of 50 60 age 🥲

Are these exercises good for healing sciatica?

i dont have tendonitis on any of those places, but i feel some pain in the mid bicep, when moving my arm

Thank you! So, very... much!

If I already have a swelling/lump at the base of my achilles, what do you recommend I do to heal and not aggravate it more.

Congratulations!

Thanks bro

Congrats.

Awesome vid, doc! Thank you for sharing...wishing your family the very best. As they say here in Italy where I live, "Tanti auguri agli sposi!"

Doc you are looking smashing! May your daughter's marriage ahead be filled with everlasting joy. Thanks for sharing the lovely moment with us.

Congratulations 🎉

Congratulations

You are my best personal trainer sir love u from India

FABULOUSO.

Congratulations to your daughter

Hey dr. Joe, looking good man. How long would you recommend doing these before returning back to normal weights?

Good explanation. Here's hoping it works for me.

Thanks so much for sharing this. Really helpful and amazing that you're willing to share your expertise with such passion for free. Thanks alot Doctor Joe 🙏 ❤️

हिंदी मे बताते तो अच्छा होता

Any tips on how to perform this? I tried a bunch of times and didn’t feel a contraction or stretch, but I successfully did it once and it targeted the exact area so I know I did it right that one time. It’s hard to get a grip on the muscle since it’s very deep. I’m having pain between the shoulder left shoulder blade and spine. (Around scapula area)

Thank you Thank you!! I just thought it was a plain old hammie injury. I have had this injury for 40 years off and on. It literally tore at the end of a yoga class and I heard it go. I couldn’t sit for a year but continued to try and stretch FOR YEARS. Then found out I shouldn’t be stretching. But I have injured it over and over being hyper flexible and teaching yoga. NOW i know it is a proximal hamstring tendinopathy. Every thing you said is EXACTLY what I have suffered from. I will do all these things that you recommend.

just used the tai chi ball and it works way better then when I tried this with a regular massage ball .

Very interesting Dr. Joe, I recently had a small tweak directly where you described the coracobrachialis as existing near the armpit. I actually think I tweaked it going hard on the Scott-Bench or Preacher Curl machine. I like to do those partials in the more extended position to get a burn, do you think the tweak would be more likely with the forearm in a strong peak flexion or deeper extension? Amazing videos.

This channel is totally underrated. It has become my number one reference for tissue work and fascial release. This segment along with the scapula and clavicle segments are absolutely amazing and has really supercharged my progress. I can't thank you enough.

Nice stretch. Thanks 👍

Can this problem radiate and cause inguinal pressure, piriformis pain, and or tingling sensations into the urethra areas?
