Best Practice Case Studies-Case 154 Asset 2 Biceps Tendinopathy

Video Transcription

Video Summary

A physical therapist explains treating chronic biceps tendinopathy with cross-friction massage on the long head of the biceps tendon, locating it in the bicipital groove and monitoring symptoms until pain plateaus or resolves. Because scapulothoracic instability can contribute to shoulder dysfunction, the next focus is a row exercise to strengthen the rhomboids and improve scapular stability. He uses verbal guidance and tactile biofeedback to ensure proper muscle activation. The home program should be done 3–4 days per week, with 3–4 sets of up to 15 reps, while monitoring symptoms.
