Biceps Tendinopathy Shoulder Pain: Causes, Symptoms, Ottawa Physiotherapy Treatment
Biceps tendinopathy is irritation or degeneration of the long head of the biceps tendon — the cord-like structure that runs from your biceps muscle into the front of your shoulder. This tendon helps:
Stabilize the shoulder joint
Assist with lifting and pulling
Control overhead movement
When it’s overloaded beyond what it can tolerate, it becomes irritated, and that’s when pain starts.
