Had a very messed up injury approximately 6-7 months ago doing chest flies with a 10 pound dumbell without warming up nor stretching beforehand - did it multiple times before. Week before that, I did a lot of trap exercises trying to get some gains.
I ultimately dislocated my shoulder and subluxed my clavicle from its place, creating immense pain and visible shoulder instability. I couldn't raise my right arm nor can I anymore do a towel overhead chest stretch- I can't feel my right chest.
Around 2 months ago I finally decided to be my own PT due to my inability to have access to personal doctors. You really provided useful videos, and I'm glad to have found you on RUclips along with the other fitness content creators.
I found out I have a Huge hip imbalance which restricted my Lats. For years, I've walked weirdly and now I know the reason. I've clicked my own clavicle into place, invested in a massage ball, opened up my hips and now I'm currently trying to undo very very tight lats and traps. I'm still unsure how long will it take for me to finally get back into working out after I finally release these tight muscles but I just wanna say that thank you for all that you do!

You know how a bear scratches his back against a tree? That was me moments ago testing out the effects of lacrosse vs spikey behind and around the inner edge of the scapula. Amazing effects with the spikey.....but I can't say the lacrosse ball didn't come in afterward and hit any missed spots for some release....for people like me with shoulder instability....I would recommend using both around the scapula. Being alone ain't so bad. Thx doc.

I have a client that whenever we perform a skullcrusher tricep movement, it looks like the long head of the bicep is skipping over a muscle during the eccentric movement of the exercise. It creates a popping type of movement and feeling in my clients bicep, proximal to the lateral deltoid but only when he is pressing weight while his arm is lifted, otherwise if he was to perform the same movement with no weight, there is no popping or skipping feeling or visual occurrence. Don’t know if you’ve ever heard of anything like this before

[@OcraMedHealth]

So is the popping at the biceps tendon?
