Physiotherapy for Biceps Tendinitis Rehabilitation
Do you feel pain in the front of your shoulder when lifting your arm or carrying objects? Does the pain increase during overhead activities, gym workouts, or sports? Do you notice tenderness in the upper arm or discomfort while rotating the shoulder? These symptoms may indicate biceps tendinitis.
Biceps tendinitis occurs when the tendon of the biceps muscle becomes irritated or inflamed where it attaches near the shoulder joint. Repetitive overhead activities, heavy lifting, poor shoulder mechanics, or muscle imbalance can strain this tendon. It often causes pain in the front of the shoulder, weakness during lifting, and discomfort with arm movement.
Physiotherapy focuses on reducing tendon stress and restoring proper shoulder function. Treatment focuses on:
Pain relief techniques and inflammation management
Gentle shoulder mobility exercises
Strengthening the rotator cuff and shoulder stabilisers
Scapular (shoulder blade) stability training
Gradual return-to-activity guidance
Avoid repetitive overhead movements during painful phases, apply ice to the front of the shoulder after activity, maintain good posture during desk work, and perform gentle shoulder mobility exercises as advised.
