What is Biceps Tendonitis?
Biceps tendonitis is the inflammation of the tendon that connects the biceps muscle to the shoulder, often caused by repetitive strain or overuse. This condition can make everyday tasks involving lifting or rotating the arm painful and difficult. Over time, the inflammation may weaken the tendon, increasing the risk of tears.

Ultimate Guide to Shoulder Pain
If you are starting your recovery journey, we’d love to be your partner. In the meantime, this essential guide can get you on the road to recovery today!
What causes Biceps Tendonitis?
Biceps tendonitis is typically caused by repetitive motions that overwork the biceps tendon, such as those involved in overhead sports like swimming, tennis, or weightlifting. It can also result from repetitive arm movements in daily activities or from an acute injury, such as lifting something heavy with improper form. Degeneration of the tendon due to aging can also contribute to this condition.
What are the symptoms of Biceps Tendonitis?
Symptoms of biceps tendonitis include pain and tenderness in the front of the shoulder, which may worsen with overhead or lifting motions. You may also experience a feeling of weakness when lifting objects, as well as a snapping sensation when moving the arm. In some cases, swelling and limited range of motion in the shoulder may occur.
