Tendonitis Exercises?

Question

My boyfriend has tendonitis in his sholders and biceps. What exercises should he be doing to help heal his shoulders and biceps? He doesn't have the money for to see a physical therapist let alone have any surgical work on it. Do any of you know any ideas for exercises for him? All answers will be greatly appreciated :0) thanks!

Answer 1

Disclaimer: Do not perform these exercises unless cleared by an MD or PT. Do not perform these exercises if they increase your pain or cause other symptoms to occur. Perform these exercises at your own risk.

That being said, I am a PT and here are some exercises I give to appropriate patients.

Doorway stretch:
Stand in an open doorway with your forearms against the frame. Put one foot through the doorway and lean forward. You should feel the stretch across the chest and shoulders. To change this stretch, you can lower or raise the height of your arms.
**If this stretch causes pain, lower your arms until you can do it without pain.

Neck stretch:
Place your right hand behind your head and bend your head to the left. You can place your left hand on your head to apply GENTLE overpressure. Also try this while looking down to the left. Repeat to other side. You should feel this stretch along the side and back of the neck.

All stretches should be performed 3-4 repetitions, 20-30 seconds, 2-3 times a day.

Scapular squeezes:
Pull shoulder blades downward and slightly back without arching lower back. Hold 10 seconds, 10 repetitions.

Shoulder flexion, scaption, abduction:
Raise both arms to shoulder level in front, out to 45 degrees and out to the side. Do not raise above the shoulders. You can hold a dumbell 1 to 5 pounds to start. 2-3 sets of 15 each direction.

External Rotation:
Lie on your side with the involved shoulder up. Keep your elbow in and rotate arm outward (towards the ceiling). You can hold a dumbell 1 to 5 pounds to start. 2-3 sets of 15 each direction.

Shoulder extension and Rows:
Using theraband (available at sporting goods stores) loop it around a doorknob or sturdy pole. Hold one end in each hand and pull backwards with arms straight and then bent. Each exercises 2-3 sets of 15 in each direction.

Remember, if there is pain with these exercises - STOP. If progress does not continue, you may have to shell out the money for a MD or PT visit. You can try calling around to see if any clinics are able to give a self-pay discount or offer a payment plan. Also, look into see if he qualifies for Medicaid since he cannot afford health insurance. Good luck.

Tendonitis will best heal with leisure. The extra you pastime with this harm, the extra you are going to irritate it and avert it from therapy. I'm amazed your health care provider did not inform you this. Also notice that after getting had an harm comparable to this one, you're perpetually inclined to reinjuring it. I propose you are taking up one other type of cardio pastime that doesn't positioned such a lot pressure in this harm. Try swimming. It's a satisfactory aerobic pastime and it would possibly not irritate the harm.
