Video Summary
Brent DeGoyer, a primary care sports medicine physician, explains treating biceps tendonitis with positional release techniques like facilitated positional release or counterstrain. For both distal and proximal biceps pain, he finds the most tender point, then positions the arm to shorten the muscle and tendon—typically elbow flexion and forearm supination, sometimes with added shoulder elevation. He holds the position 30 to 120 seconds until pain decreases, then retests. Early injuries may need treatment every 2–3 days for 2–3 weeks. Home care includes deep friction massage twice daily and alternating ice and moist heat.
