10. Prevention
The best treatment for biceps tendonitis is prevention. When starting an overhead motion sport, remembering to take it slowly is critical. Activity in the sport and its movements can be increased but with limited repetitions and rest between outings. It’s vital to stop if pain occurs, especially early on.
Physical therapy to stretch and strengthen shoulder and arm muscles help to prevent tendonitis as well. In the case of persons whose jobs rely on overhead movements, frequent rest breaks with stretching help prevent tendonitis.2‘Biceps Tendon Injuries.’ The Cleveland Clinic. www.my.clevelandclinic.org/health/articles/14534-biceps-tendon-injuries.
