Common Issue: Biceps Tendonitis

Swimmers often experience biceps tendonitis, particularly after prolonged freestyle sessions. If this sounds familiar, here are some helpful tips to manage the discomfort and get back in the water.

Adjust Your Routine

If freestyle swimming for long periods is causing pain, consider switching up your strokes. Incorporating breaststroke or backstroke can reduce strain on the biceps tendon and provide relief.

Seek Professional Evaluation

It’s essential to consult a physician for a thorough examination, including an ultrasound. This can help rule out more serious issues like rotator cuff or biceps tendon tears.

Treatment Options

Depending on the diagnosis, treatment may involve physical therapy or advanced options like platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy. These approaches aim to alleviate pain and restore mobility, helping swimmers return to their routines.

Taking proactive steps can help manage tendonitis and keep you in the swim of things!
