Great post by @rehabscience . 💥BICEPS TENDINOPATHY💥 ——— Tendinopathy of the long head of the biceps brachii (LHB) tendon usually causes pain at the front or anterior aspect of the shoulder and is often aggravated with reaching activities, lifting overhead and after hard (high volume and/or load) bicep strength training sessions (pull-ups, rowing, climbing, gymnastics, etc). - As seen in the video, the LHB tendon runs vertically along the upper arm and can be palpated with a side to side motion

Biceps tendon rupture, often occurring at the shoulder or elbow, is characterized by a sudden, sharp pain, swelling, and a noticeable bulge in the upper arm due to the muscle retracting. This injury commonly results from acute trauma or repetitive overuse, especially in athletes or older individuals. Treatment may involve conservative management with rest and physical therapy or surgical repair, depending on the rupture's location and the patient's activity level and needs. #gymfails #sportsmedi
