Tendonitis cures

Mikeh – Glad to help!

char-dawg – The JM press is performed on a bench press. The movement starts like a standard bench. The bar is then taken to a point about five inches above the neck/upper chest, paused, and pressed back up. If the elbows are kept tight (close to the body – not flared out) throughout the movement, this will be a combination extension/press. Check out Dave Tate’s bench articles by using the search feature for a more detailed description.

Good tip, followed it, and thanks.

Ah, I see. Thanks for the explanation, Mark.

To Ouster: I don't know how much Netrition charges, but there are dedicated Wobenzym sites on the net. I ordered from one and paid about $90 for a bottle of 800 tabs. (I also got a free sprts injury rehab book out of the deal, which was nice...and maybe necessary, considering my current condition!)

24

I had it in my forearms. All I did was wear a wrist brace for about a month and take advil. I think that resting them is the cure. I haven’t had a problem since.

25

I had great sucess with a very good kinesiologist/chiropractor.

Horace, check out this thread.

I read the article on solving tendonitis with negatives but the article never explains why or how the negatives help as opposed to the positve portion of the lift. Does anyone know why? I always believed that eccentrics caused more damage and that is part of the reason why they are needed for hypertrophy.

28

Don’t know why they work from a theoretical standpoint, but I do know they work! Check out the Wobenzym thread for some more theory…

I had the same problem. I had to avoid the long bar for some time and use dumbbells only. When using the long bar, try using a thumbless “false grip” it allows the wrist to assume a more comfortable position.

here ya go…

i’ve had bicep tendonitis for over 6 months straight. I rested it for 1 month doing no gym work, and that did not work. I’ve done electrical current treatment and that does not work. The only thing that works is rest and applying heating to increase recovery and ice when it is inflammed. Anything that is used to mask the pain is not good. All you are doing is hidding the actual ailment which can lead to greater damage. People have to pay attention to their bodies before real hard damage occurs and surgery is needed. The selection of excercises i can do has dropped significantly, but i’m still able to get good workouts. The problem with elbow tendonotis, whether triceps, biceps, or forearm, is that when you are using your arms, you are putting stress at that point. So most excerices will hit the tendons and ligiments whether we like it or not. The only reson i have not continuously done the eccentrics is because i fell pain with that motion also. laters pk

Let me know where you are in Japan and perhaps I can connect you with a qualified person. I spent from 86 to 99 working in with the Sports Federation.

We also use a Copper cream and Tin cream that has tremendous healing properties.<>

We use electro magnetic pulse therapy a unit called QRS found at www.quantronic.com check to see if they have a JPN importer if not, contact the US one and speak with Bill Johnson. The above is far superior to any DMSO remedies.

Electric Acupuncture in combination with ART and the creams is a viable option if you are unable to secure the QRS.

Thanks for the offer, but if you look at the dates on this thread you’ll see that the original post was really old. People keep having problems with tendonitis, so this is one of the oldies but goodies that keeps getting recycled now and again.


Still, that copper/tin cream sounds interesting. Care to give a little more info on it?


To everyone: I have fully recovered from my tendonitis and can say, in hindsight, that in my particular case getting those two ART treatments didn’t affect the condition at all. Having now been fully through the process, here’s what I think:

  1. Those negatives WORK. Doesn’t matter if you experience some pain while doing them; unless it’s absolutely debilitating, just work through it. In a week or so the pain will start to dimish. (This is specifically stated in P.B.'s article.)

  2. A rubber strap that you can wrap around your arm, together with something that can act as a pressure point producer (like a large acorn or something) can help. Place the ppp on the point that hurts and then wrap the strap around it. This acts like a shiatsu treatment and, depending on what exercise you’re doing, can alleviate the pain. (But this doesn’t always work, so you have to experiment. It helped on my right arm, but not on my left.)

  3. Wobenzyme can make a dramatic difference. Get some.

  4. Once you’ve gotten the pain back down to a manageable level, and if it doesn’t seem to be getting all the way better (like there’s about 5-10% remaining), try doing a new exercise that actually re-injures it a little. I know, people are going to object to this advice, but here’s what I think happens. According to some of what I’ve read, tendonitis is caused by “extra” protein that frays from or sticks to your muscle fibers after they’ve fired and then hangs around to gum up the works, causing pain. (This is why wobenzyme helps, but only if you take it on an empty stomach. Otherwise it justs acts on the protein that you’ve eaten.)


    So when you reach that “I’m almost there point”, I think that it helps to do some new and relatively intense exercises to help blast away the rest of the problem. In my case, the rt. arm tendonitis went fully away after my first try with the Growth Surge Project, and the left arm when I started doing some explosive O lifting.

  5. The linament did not help at all in my case.


    Hope this helps.

To Char dawg

Sorry I neglected to even look at the date and assumed that anything on the front 25 was up to date.

Regarding the creams it was a project spear headed by Bill Romonowski together Mark Lindsay and the inventor out of Toronto. It is distributed by New World Health now out of Texas. The Copper was orginally for arthritic symptoms and the tin for soft tissue, however we have found from extensive use the combination of applying copper first and following up 10 mins later with tin, has a stronger affect.

Regarding the ART treatments I had tendonitis for 14 months before Mark worked on me for 12 days straight and it was more painful initially and then a healing process began to take place, but the breaking up of the scaring was the most painful, he then eased the pain with electric accupunture, at the time the creams had not be developed.

Aloha

Thanks for the bump

Has anyone tried this with bodyweight squats for the knees?

Here’s the article in question:
