Bicep Isometric - Bicep Tendonitis Exercise

Do you have pain in the front of the shoulder when you lift? Difficulty lifting your arm overhead? Clicking or popping in the shoulder? Then you might have bicep tendonitis.

Your biceps tendon is a tough, fibrous tissue that connects your biceps muscle to the bones in your shoulder. When this tendon becomes inflamed, it can cause pain, stiffness, and tenderness in your shoulder.

Contrary to what most people think, when the bicep tendon is injured, the best thing to do is continue to use it (in a safe way!). Isometric exercises are used to load a tendon, without elongating or shortening the muscle.

For this exercise,

1. Find a wall

2. Put your fist on the wall with your thumb pointed up

3. Add pressure to push your fist up and into the wall, without actually moving your fist.

4. Hold this position for 30 seconds. Then repeat 3x.
