Case 154 Asset 3 Biceps Tendinopathy

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Brent DeGoyer of Samaritan Health Care in Moses Lake, Washington, specializes in primary care sports medicine, neuromusculoskeletal medicine, and family medicine. He explains that athletes with upper arm pain, especially along the biceps, often have biceps tendonitis. This condition can respond well to manual treatment. He describes positional release techniques, including facilitated positional release and counterstrain, which shorten muscle fibers, reset the Golgi tendon apparatus, and relax surrounding tissues to promote healing. He invites viewers to watch a linked demonstration of these techniques.
