Understanding Biceps Rupture
A biceps rupture can cause sudden pain, visible deformity, and reduced strength in the arm. Rehabilitation is essential to regain function and prevent compensatory issues. At Reliefic Physiotherapy, we assess the extent of the injury and develop a tailored program. Treatment includes manual therapy, soft tissue work, progressive strengthening, and electrotherapy to support healing and restore arm function.
