Arm (Biceps, Triceps, and Wrist Extensors) Vibration Release

This is one of the brookbush institute in this video. We're going to go over vibration or percussive release for the muscles of the arm. I'm gonna have my friend might come out. He's gonna help me demonstrate. Now we're gonna start off with the middle deltoid. The middle deltoid has a propensity to develop some trigger points. Let me lay on your side facing away from me Mike. So we'll start in this position so that I can keep the weight of the machine doing most of the work and I can keep good body mechanics. Just like all of the other techniques we've done with this hypervolt. I'm going to start on a slightly higher setting that being setting to with a little larger surface area piece. This is the flat round piece. You could also use that foam ball, and I'm just going to go ahead and Trace. all of the middle deltoid here just basically using the weight of the tool. Noting any increase in tissue density. How does that feel like Feels good. There we go. So remember, we're always doing these. Techniques with a the idea that we're going to get an increase in some objective measure. For example, maybe Mike has some upper body dysfunction. Maybe has a restriction an external rotation. Maybe he's positive for some of those. shoulder impingement tests All right, we could also do the tricep. Let me have you go ahead and lay face down. Now admittedly the triceps and biceps or not. Usually a muscles I go after they're not they don't play large roles and postural dysfunction, but you can develop trigger points in these muscles and it is nice to at least have them in your back pocket as potential. Treatment options if you have somebody who for whatever reason is giving you a lot of trouble getting over elbow dysfunction or shoulder dysfunction. Remember the long head of your tricep does cross your shoulder. And so I can go through here. And again, I'm just tracing all through the tissue. noting any changes in tissue density, of course if I did notice a change in tissue density. I'd go ahead and go to a smaller surface area. Tip here. So this is this is the bullet attachment and then I could come back on a lower setting so that I can get a little deeper. On that place where I felt a little increase in tissue density remember where you're at? This is the the back of the arm. There's not a whole lot of muscle between the humerus. And this tool so there's no need to like. Press down real hard, you'll hit bone and that's not going to feel very good. It's just a little bit and then a little bit in there. How's that feeling like good? Alright, and of course if I had felt any tissue density here, I could have done the same going back and just very slowly. Letting the denser portions melt under the smallest surface area tool at a lower setting. Last we'll do bicep and extensor Mass. Let me have you flip over on your backlink. Now I do know that I'm doing different arms. Keep note of which arm that you are actually working on. I'm only staying on one side for the sake of the camera and teaching you guys this to these techniques. But again, I'll switch to the The larger flat round piece go back up to a higher setting because I'm just going to go through all the tissue here. We'll just go through the bicep. So from anterior Dell. all the way down to Elbow Like I said pretty uncommon pretty uncommon to find trigger points or dysfunction here. But nice to have in your toolbox. Having absolutely nothing to do with assessment. I can tell you if you're sore from a hard workout. This does feel good. All right, and I didn't feel any increase in tissue density there. So let's go to extensor mass. Now here here are some muscles that have a propensity to get overacted develop some pretty significant trigger points and our definitely related to both elbow and wrist dysfunction with things like epicondylitis. And if you have anybody who has like wrist flexibility issues, I almost guarantee. That you'll be that some soft tissue work here will definitely be helpful again. We're just going to be very careful going through. All of the tissue notice any place that's a little bit more dense like right in here for him. Notice guys, I'm staying very much on the top half of the arm down here. Although these muscles extend the fingers. The muscle mass is essentially here and all this is tendon. I would try to stay away from this type of area because again, you're just gonna end up grinding down into bone and that doesn't feel good with these techniques. If I wanted to release some of the deeper muscles in the lower portion of this forearm, I would probably have to do that manually. So again, we had mentioned that there was a little bit of density here. Go ahead and turn this off. Switch back to the bullet piece. Lower setting. All right, so that's setting one. and I'm gonna go ahead and just focus on that area and let the tissue melt underneath the tool as I very slowly work my way through that acute point of dense tissue. All right. So just a recap of positions notice for the shoulder. I had Mike lay on his side. Facing away and then I just kind of put it ahead and put his hand on his stomach. So now his arms nice and stable right so I can now address all of this tissue and he's not wiggling around for tricep. It's probably easiest to be face down right and then you can go ahead and lay face down for me. With face down and Palms down. All right. Now all this is is nice and stable again. I can get through all the tissue. If we wanted to get to the inside of this tricep. We could then go ahead and go Palms up notice. He's still very stabilized by the table making it a lot easier, especially if we have to get into some of those trigger points get a little deeper with the smaller surface area Point go ahead and flip all the way over for me Mike. Last we went over bicep, right and I used the larger tool at first to go through all of this tissue and then of course with his arm being nice and stable Palm down if I needed to get it a trigger point I could without having to worry about his arm flopping all over the place and not being able to get a nice consistent amount of pressure. You know with all release techniques, it's it's very helpful. To a have the person in a position where the muscle is totally passive and then B have the person in a position that is very stable so that you can keep very consistent pressure. Hoping to Aid that process that's going to lead us to autogenic inhibition and we don't get like a lot of stretching which might of course lead to muscle spindle activity and increase in tenacity if you guys had any further questions about using percussive or vibration release For the arm, please leave them in the comments section below. I look forward to hearing from you.

Vibration release techniques for the upper trapezius, levator scapulae, splenii, rhomboids, pectoralis major, pectoralis minor, latissimus dorsi, teres major, posterior deltoid, upper extremity (arms), and erector spinae. Manual therapy using vibration massage tools (massage guns and percussion instruments), what is vibration, vibration massage benefits, side effects, and comparing vibration to foam rollers. What receptors are stimulated, vibration effect on reflexes, how to reduce muscle soreness (DOMS), muscle pain, performance, and strength.

Vibration Release Techniques: Upper Body

Pre-exercise local vibration reduces functional signs and chemical markers of delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) and may improve performance in subsequent frequent workouts.

Local vibration is effective for reducing acute muscle pain (and can be added to a home program via the devices like the Hypervolt by Hyperice® or similar devices).

Local vibration alone may be sufficient to increase strength in deconditioned muscles/individuals.

Current research implies that adding vibration to self-administered release techniques (SMR) (e.g. foam rolling) enhances benefits for DOMS, pain pressure sensitivity, and increasing proprioception. Further research is needed to refine protocols and determine whether adding vibration to SMR enhances benefits for increasing range of motion and improving power performance when used as a warm-up.

Protocol for Using Percussion Massage Device

Start with a higher setting and superficially (with gentle pressure) trace the entire surface of the muscle.

Setting 3 is likely appropriate for the lower body.

Take a mental note of dense or sensitive points. Manual therapists may use the opposite hand to palpate for taut bands and nodules (trigger points).

Stay away from areas where the bone is superficial. Using percussion massage devices over bone may be uncomfortable, painful, and/or cause bruising. Placing a finger or thumb over bony protuberances will prevent accidental contact.

Using a piece with a smaller surface area and lower setting (setting 1), return to the dense/sensitive points using deeper compression.

It may be helpful to add tension or slack by shortening or lengthening the target tissue

The Brookbush Institute recommends 30 seconds to 2 minutes per muscle group, and 5 minutes as an upper limit even in the case of multiple trigger points.

Supine for biceps brachii and wrist extensors

 (Block with a thumb or finger when approaching these areas)

 is a superficial muscle, that creates a "cap" over the glenohumeral joint, coursing from the acromion shelf to the deltoid tubercle.

 are superficial muscles that course from underneath the anterior deltoid to the cubital fossa of the anterior elbow.

 are superficial muscles that course from underneath the posterior deltoid to the olecranon process

Common Trigger Point: Middle of the muscle belly, although trigger points in these humeral muscles are fairly rare.

 are a group of muscles that course from the lateral condyle of the humerus, into long tendons that begin at about half the length of the forearm, and extend across the joints of the wrist and fingers.

Common trigger points: Middle of the muscle bellies; however, the muscle bellies are relatively short, only extending about half the length of the forearm. Most trigger points occur 3 - 5 centimeters distal the lateral condyle of the humerus.
