Tendons are the fibrous bands that connect muscles to bones. The biceps tendons attach the biceps muscle to the bones in your shoulder and elbow. A biceps muscle tear damages the muscle fibres on the front of the upper arm. It is also known as a biceps muscle strain, a biceps muscle rupture, or a pulled biceps muscle. A biceps muscle tear can be successfully treated with physiotherapy. With a biceps tendon tear around the shoulder, most people can still function normally and only require simple treatments to relieve symptoms. Learn more about Physio For A Biceps Tendon Tear
