Pain at the front of the shoulder is often biceps tendinitis (tendonitis). To get rid of biceps tendinopathy once and for all, you have to address the underlying causes, not just do biceps rehab exercises! Biceps tendon pain comes from shoulder impingement, and the head of the humerus riding too far forward in the joint, which is extremely common. (In fact, most anterior shoulder pain issues come from the same two things). So here's the best physiotherapy/physical therapy exercises for biceps tendinitis, including eccentric exercises to rehab the biceps and exercises to take pressure of the long head of the biceps.

IS YOUR PAIN BICEPS TENDINOPATHY?
Is it…
• It's really tender to press right at front of your shoulder
• You get a bit of referred pain further down in your biceps
• It clicks or snaps as you move your arm
• It’s worse at night, or raising your arm right up hurts
• Pushing up, with a straight arm and palm face up, against resistance hurts (Speeds test)
• Doing a cross body upper cut motion with resistance hurts (Upper Cut Test)

Front of shoulder pain can also come from:
• SLAP tears
• Glenohumeral instability
• Rotator Cuff lesions
• Sub-acromial impingement
• AC Joint issues
• Frozen shoulder
• Osteoarthritis

    Thank you so much for your videos. Two of your videos have significantly changed my life for the better. I was in a lot of pain daily after a serious car accident. I no longer need back surgery and can sleep comfortably all night. I've been through physio, acupuncture, chiropractors, and nothing worked. I came across this channel while researching my upcoming back surgery. Thank you so very much for taking the time to post.
  • @stevenhannan2689
    I just wanted to say a massive thank you for your fabulous videos. After nearly 8 years of shoulder pain, doing the exercises in this video, and one other, for just over a week, have already made a big difference to my pain levels. Keep up the good work.
