Musculocutaneous nerve slider
Very similar to the radial nerve but instead of bending your wrist so that the back of your hand faces the floor and your palm faces backwards you should let your palm face upwards, keep your thumb tucked in and then tilt your wrist to the side of your pinky finger.
This slider may be helpful with those with anterior shoulder pain that are told they have bicipital tendinopathy.
