Common MMA Shoulder Injuries:

  1. Rotator Cuff Strains: These strains are a frequent woe in MMA due to powerful strikes or sudden movements.

  2. Impingements: Overhead motions, a staple in MMA, can cause impingements, leading to pain and restricted movement.

  3. Joint sprains, Labral tears and Dislocations: Grappling and high-impact throws can lead to shoulder sprains such as to the acromial clavicular joint. In more sever cases it can cause tearing to the glenohumeral labrum or dislocations will disrupt the normal function of the shoulder.
