Page 13 How to Heal Bicep Pain with Massage The bicep is made up of two heads. Long head a�aches to the shoulder blade on the supraglenoid tubercle. The short head a�aches to the shoulder blade on the coracoid process. Both run together and a�ach to the forearm on the tuberosity of the radius.
Page 14 Radial nerve tension test: Test unaﬀected arm ﬁrst. With the arm at your side, take your hand and twist so it is facing palm out. Flip your hand up so the palm is now facing the ceiling. Side bend neck away from hand. Repeat the same test on the painful arm.
Page 15 Anyone can strain their bicep muscles from just daily tasks, but more o�en a tear occurs while li�ing something heavy. The strain or tear can occur at the tendon which is the thick band that a�aches the bicep muscle to the bone or in the muscle itself.
Page 16 2. Popeye’s sign If you have a rupture at any of the bicep a�achments the muscle maybunch up in the middle of the arm. A rupture at the long or short head usually does not have to be repaired. A rupture near the elbow usually is repaired. 3.

Page 22 12 Rules for Massaging Away Knots, Muscle Strains, or Tendoni�s. (Must Follow) We will ﬁrst discuss trigger points. Knots also known as trigger points are common throughout the muscles of the body. The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook by Claire and Amber Davies deﬁnes a trigger point as“a grumpy li�le spot in a taut band of muscle �ssue that hurts when you press on it.
Page 23 Use deep stroking massage. Massage with short, repeated strokes from one side of the painful spot to the other. Do the massage stroke slowly. Do the massage in one direc�on for best ergonomics. The goal of the trigger point massage is to apply con�nued pointed pressure to the knot which can hurt (but it should be a pleasant kind of hurt).

Page 30 Speciﬁc Trigger Point Therapy Then you are going to work on individual knots following the rules of the 12 rules of massage above. Work to bring the pain level of each knot down a few levels.

Page 45 Hamstring: Focus on all three muscles. Can also bend and straighten the knee and add in some ﬂossing. Calf: focus on the upper calf but not behind the knee (there are a rich supply of nerves arteries and veins in that area). Tensor Fascia Lata massage and ilio�bial band: Cannot stretch the IT band but it could help loosen it if somewhat adhered down.
Page 46 We would not use a massage gun directly on an arthri�c neck. However, it may be beneﬁcial to massage below the neck-the upper trapezius, the levator scapula, and the rhomboids. Use the following guidelines to choose the appropriate a�achment: Big Round Head A�achment: Good for larger muscle groups like the glutes, quadriceps, or hamstrings.
