Triceps Tendonitis Ruining Your Workouts? Fix It Now!

January 21, 2025

Triceps Tendonitis ruining your workouts and keeping you out of the gym? Dr. Joe DeMarco, chiropractor and owner of OcraMed Health, explains the causes of triceps tendonitis and how to treat it effectively.

The triceps muscle has three heads:

Long head: Attaches to the scapula (shoulder blade) and not the upper arm bone (humerus).

Lateral and medial heads: Attaches to the humerus.

All three heads merge into a common tendon that connects to the olecranon process of the ulna, with their main function being elbow extension.

Over time, repetitive "wear and tear" in the gym can lead to scar tissue (fascial adhesions) in the triceps. This scar tissue reduces muscle elasticity, causing the tendon to pull and inflame, leading to triceps tendonitis.

In this FREE injury rehab and prevention Youtube video, I demonstrate triceps tendonitis treatment using fascial release techniques. These methods help break down scar tissue, restore muscle elasticity, and reduce pain. I also share triceps tendonitis rehabilitation exercises to strengthen and protect your muscles.

Try these techniques consistently for several weeks, performing them every other day. It takes time to break down built-up scar tissue, so be patient and stick with it.
