Shoulder pain? why you should check your neck. Pain can come from many diffrent muscles but when it comes about shoulder pain you should ask yourself. is it really my shoulder or it is just a tight or it is lack of flexibility and strength on your neck.

ACL INJURIES
The ACL acts to prevent the tibia from moving forward away from the femur and helps prevent the knee from buckling during sudden changes in direction such as cutting, twisting, or even kicking. The ACL can be injured when one part of the knee suddenly rotates quicker than the other, such as when it is grabbed and twisted during grappling or when a fighter quickly pivots with a planted foot to kick or change direction. In addition, the ACL can also be injured when a fighter’s knee is hit from the side, similar to when a football player hits someone’s knee during a tackle. In fact, since MMA has so many facets, the injuries an MMA fighter sees arches across many sports. ACL injuries are more common in sports such as football where players often need to suddenly stop and change direction, but these injuries commonly strike MMA fighters as well. 
MCL & PCL INJURIES
On either side of the knee are the collateral ligaments: the MCL, medial (inner) collateral ligament, and LCL, lateral (outer) collateral ligament. These collateral ligaments are important in stabilizing the knee when a force is directed from either the inside or outside of the knee. If the knee is hit from the outside aspect of the knee, such as someone diving in for a tackle, the LCL compresses and the MCL stretches, making the MCL the important stabilizer of the knee at that moment. The opposite is true if the knee is hit from a force on the inner side of the knee and directed laterally; there, the LCL becomes tight and acts as the stabilizing ligament. The MCL and LCL can also be injured during grappling, when the knee is forced to bend at an awkward angle. The LCL, however, is rarely injured in an isolated incident, although it can certainly happen in MMA.
MENISCUS INJURIES 
One of the most overlooked, but perhaps most important, injuries related to a fighter’s career is a meniscus injury. The meniscus acts as a shock distributor in the knee, but when it is torn, it can cause pain and result in other parts of the knee, such as the articular cartilage (joint cartilage on the bone), being damaged. Meniscus tears can be either simple or complex.

Why you should use taping?

For several years now, K-Taping has been finding its way into competitive sport and many areas of medicine and physiotherapy. In world championships, Olympic Games, and diverse competitive sports, be it soccer, handball, volleyball, basketball, rugby, American football, skiing, biathlon or gymnastics, this effective treatment method has become an integral component of prevention, reha- bilitation, and part of the training therapy

Taping reduces the pain, by reducing the signals sent by the pain receptor in our skin. Consequently, this provides a sense of relief.

Taping also stimulates the stimulus received in the brain through the skin therefore supports proprioception and body awareness.

Taping maintains muscles and joints compacted by supporting related structures in place, speeding healing and repair process.

The joint functions can be supported using different taping applications.
By influencing the muscle tone, imbalances can be corrected and balance restored to the muscle group. Corrective functional and fascial applications, like passive support, result in improvement of joint function, lead to pain attenuation and consequently to a shorter healing process.
