- Symptom
- This pain often occurs with baseball pitchers. Its formal name is "tendinitis of the long head biceps brachii". The biceps brachii muscle works for bending the elbow. It exerts the strongest force for any movement that involves elbow bending. Therefore any exercise that uses the arm sheds a heavy load on this muscle. Especially baseball pitchers use the arm almost every day, and therefore, most of them experience this problem.
- Tamatare Remedy
- To cure this problem efficiently, Tamatare Remedy recovers the roles of the bursa of acromion and the subdeltoid bursa by restoring the metabolism efficiency of the rotator muscles around the blade bone and by using the joint alignment technique.
- Details
- The tendon of the long head of the biceps is located at the tip of the long head of the biceps. It runs inside the intertubercular tendon sheath, and adheres to the greater tuberosity of humerus together with the tendon sheath. It slides inside the tendon sheath in accordance with the movement of the biceps brachii muscle. A problem in this sliding causes a tendinitis of the long head biceps brachii, and the affected person feels a sharp pain in the shoulder when bending the arm. The friction of the tendon of the long head of the biceps is eased by the bursa of acromion and the subdeltoid bursa located at the shoulder, but when the movement of the blade bone becomes insufficient, the friction relief effect degrades causing a tendon injury.
