3. Who Is at Risk for Biceps Tendonitis?
Biceps tendonitis can happen to anyone who engages in overhead motion. It can occur because of a sudden load on the tendon, such as moving furniture or lifting a heavy box from a high shelf. However, it’s usually the result of longstanding overhead motion in people like baseball players, tennis players and swimmers.
Age is a factor in biceps tendonitis too. In athletes older than 35 and non-athletes over 65, it’s a fairly common ailment.3Churgay C. ‘Diagnosis and Treatment of Biceps Tendinitis and Tendinosis.’ American Family Physician. 2009 1 Sept.80(5):470-47, www.aafp.org/afp/2009/0901/p470.html.
