4 Exercises to Fix Proximal Biceps Tendinopathy Pain (DON'T STRETCH!)

Video Description

Struggling with biceps tendinopathy pain in the upper arm or pain at the front of the shoulder? Discover the root cause and 4 simple home exercises for biceps tendinopathy pain that provide lasting relief. If you’ve been dealing with chronic biceps tendinopathy, you know how disruptive it can be. Pain when lifting your arm overhead, snapping or clicking at the front of the shoulder, or even trouble sleeping on your side - it affects daily life more than most people realize. The issue isn’t usually the biceps itself. Most conventional treatments - stretching, massage, or even ultrasound — focus only on the tendon. But biceps tendinopathy pain is often a symptom, not the root cause. The tendon gets overworked because other muscles and joints, like the rotator cuff and scapular stabilizers, aren’t functioning optimally. In this video, I break down exactly what’s happening: [+] The difference between biceps tendonitis (acute inflammation) and biceps tendinopathy (chronic degeneration). [+] Why poor thoracic spine posture and weak rotator cuff or scapular muscles force the biceps to compensate. [+] Why surgeries that cut or reattach the tendon often fail to fix the problem long term. And most importantly - 4 home exercises for biceps tendinopathy that retrain movement patterns, restore posture, and strengthen neglected stabilizers. These exercises are designed to address root causes: activating deep thoracic muscles, engaging the serratus anterior, balancing rotator cuff function, and building shoulder stability. With consistent practice 2–3 times per week for 4–6 weeks, you’ll give your biceps tendon the support it needs to heal and reduce pain. Whether you’ve been told you have PBT or feel pain at the front of the shoulder, this routine gives you a clear, practical path forward - without relying on endless massage, passive treatments, or risky surgeries. 👍 If this helps, hit the like button and subscribe - I’ll continue sharing science-backed strategies to help you move pain-free.
