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 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.
Their exercises prevented me from having back surgery; I am forever thankful. That was in 2009 and now I made the mistake to help lift a relative who was working under the sink and my right arm, got hurt… and this arm exercises are working… I just started the routine of the arm exercises and the effect has been immediate. I’m eternally thankful.
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
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.
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!
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.
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. ❤️❤️
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
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!
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.
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
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!
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.
I typically do not comment on RUclips 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
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
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
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.
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
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.❤❤❤
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 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!
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....! 😃👍🏼
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
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.
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.
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 👍💪💙
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!
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!
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!
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.
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.

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

This is the third big injury I’ve had that these two helped with. Heroes without capes!!
Upload everyday?!! Dang hard working. My bicep hurts for almost a year it was practically healed and I reinjured it !!! 😭
Thanks Bob and Brad. Looked this video up again since my bicep tendonitis came back. It worked last time, so I'm hoping it does again.
Instant relief. Thanks Bob and Brad. This is the second painful problem you have solved for me. You are the best!
Same here I think they've helped me like three or four times!
i love that these videos still pop up in my feed from time to time. so great to see Bob doing well. Hope you're doin well, Bob!
I really appreciate the tests at the beginning of the video. I went through them and it helped me identify that yes, this is exactly what I need.
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.
