Biceps Brachii Muscle   Biceps Brachii - Trigger Point Overview   Trigger Points in the Biceps are associated with most painful shoulder conditions including frozen shoulder The biceps brachii decelerates extension and pronation at the elbow and extension at the shoulder joint. It acts as a junction providing myofascial continuity between the thumb and the ribcage (especially obvious when the upper limb is abducted). The muscle plays a vital role in shoulder stability under dynamic conditions, and can contract with the triceps brachii to stabilize the elbow. It has been described as the muscle that puts in the corkscrew and...

   Treating Biceps Brachii - Dr. Jonathan Kuttner   Muscle strains are among the most common sports injuries and often result from the sudden extension of a joint beyond its normal range. This causes damage to muscle and other soft tissue. Weight training, sudden, violent torsion of the shoulder during throwing sports or sudden force applied to the nexus of the pectorals and biceps brachii (as when warding off a check in hockey with the arm extended) can produce such injuries.   Bicep Brachii Muscle Strains are characterized by tenderness and pain over the affected muscle, stiffness, and pain during...

  Trigger Point Release - Biceps Muscle Strain / Tendinitis   Bicipital Tendinitis Bicipital tendinitis results from irritation and inflammation to the biceps brachii tendon, which lies on the front of the shoulder and allows elbow flexion and supination of the forearm. Overuse can lead to inflammation and is a common affliction in golfers, weightlifters, rowers and those engaged in throwing sports. Irritation of the tendon of the long head of biceps occurs as it moves up and down in the intertubercular (bicipital) groove of the humerus. Inflammation can be to the tendon itself or to the tendon sheath or...

  Simeon Asher - Treating Triceps Trigger Points   Treating Trigger Points - Shoulder   When treating a Biceps Tendinopathy, we always start by looking at the triceps Pathology of the Long Head Biceps (LHB) is implicated in a range of shoulder problems from frozen shoulder syndrome to rotator cuff tendinopathy. It is almost always present in frozen shoulder syndrome to some extent. Biceps Anatomy Biceps means literally two-heads. The short head provides about 85% of the power and the long head about 15%. Damage can occur from trauma or falls on outstretched hands, and it is commonly tweaked by...
