Humerus is bumping into the AC joint...

[alophysio]

Hi,

I don't think it si a bicep imbalance...rather the bicep is working because it is forced to turn on to try keep the head of the humerus in the glenoid fossa.

Rather, i think it is other muscles (including rotator cuff) which are probably imbalanced and the other soft tissues (capsule/ligaments/etc).

Also, rotator cuff exercises are usually pretty benign is done properly...again AT YOUR OWN RISK...i still think a good assessment is the way to go - i know you are probably sick of hearing it but it is the truth...

BTW, repeated clicking etc *may* lead to tendinosis or tendinitis or even tears and ruptures. IMHO, the reason clicking occurs is usually mecahnical so find the mechanical reason for it and change the situation to decrease the mecahnical loading on the structure.

Good luck.
