Physical Therapy for Biceps Rupture

If you rupture a bicep you will experience a tear in the main tendon, that attaches the top of the biceps muscle to the shoulder. People who suffer from this injury can recover by doing physical therapy without needing surgery. Physical Therapy in Milford, PA can get you back on your feet from this injury giving you 100% of their time. It happens to most middle aged people who have years of putting stress on their body from weight lifting or playing sports. Curling weight is a classic example of how the injury occurs. Also athletes such as football players, skiers, gymnasts, tennis players, rowers, boxers, wrestlers and throwers are at a higher risk of tearing the bicep. Lucky enough Physical Therapy in Milford, PA deals with sports injuries very often.
