The purpose of release is to train. Remember that.  Long gone are the passive release positions for patients.  Think about the connections in the regions of the body to each other and then design a position that engages those long vectors connecting one region of the body to each other.  An example, is the use of head rotation and the GHJ, to engage the barriers BETWEEN those regions of the body to each other.  Join Erica as she discusses a unique way to achieve end-range shoulder flexion for a neck driver.   A glance at this episode: [2:00] The connection between the head and neck [4:02] How to engage barriers between different regions of the body [7:18] What are the main drivers for shoulder dysfunction?

Jags are winning playoff games??! Come join the first ever GHJ victory playoff pod!

Joining us today is Maria Pearman, Principal and Beverage Practice Leader, at GHJ. Maria is what you would call a ‘Contract CFO.' She helps companies that are moving from their startup and emerging phases and gets them over the hurdles so they can reach their more mature stage of growth. How she helps them with these growing pains is something we dive into at the start of the episode. We then spend a lot of time talking about the big issues facing small food companies right now, in particular how to deal with the squeezed margins and increased costs due to inflation. Maria offers advice on how processors can mitigate some of their losses, especially as it relates to supply chain issues.  We cap things off talking about what companies can do to help themselves out financially, with special attention paid to the relationships that can be cultivated or improved upon to help with loans or other financial resources.  Learn more about this episode

Spread the holiday cheer with us! Baalke gets retained as GM, and Jags twitter explodes with clowns. All in a normal day for us. We may have also played a game against the Jets, featuring elite runner Zach Wilson. Will the Jags ever be good again? -- find out next on GHJ!

Our boards, who give us advice, guidance and often, big gifts, are an important area of support in our advancement efforts. But we're not doing great with diversity on our boards. Just 22% of board members nationwide coming from underrepresented backgrounds. We have work to do. GHJ and the GHJ Foundation have been hard at work on this issue, and we got on the line with Donella Wilson and Derrick Coleman from GHK to talk about key strategies to build an inclusive and engaged board. Find out more about the GHJ Foundation Meet Derrick Coleman Meet Donella Wilson

Losing to the Colts and remembering the good old days of beating the Bills. Just another day for GHJ.

The guys are joined by ET, producer of Jaguars Today, on the pod. Time to bring that Come On Somebody energy to the GHJ studio.

What did you do in 2020 to make a change for the better? Last year, companies were asked to be accountable and actionable about their diversity and inclusion efforts. The results have been mixed. As Derrick Coleman of Creative Financial Staffing has written, “Improving diversity at an organization does not happen overnight. It will take time and effort for companies to make progress and begin building a more diverse workplace.”  Young professionals and recent grads are eager to see themselves represented in a company's leadership. Diversity and inclusion initiatives are helping to reshape representation across the accounting world.   On today's episode of the Taxgirl podcast, Kelly is joined by Derrick Coleman to talk about how a diverse workforce is good for both the culture and the bottom line of an organization. Derrick is the Managing Director for Creative Financial Staffing of Los Angeles, where he serves as a practiced leader of GHJ's recruiting division. CFS specializes in the placement of accounting and finance professionals into temporary and permanent positions across a broad range of industries.   Listen to Kelly and Derrick talk about companies' diversity and inclusion efforts in a post-pandemic world: Why is it important to have diversity in the workplace, especially in the world of tax and finance?  Research shows that a diverse workforce is more profitable at the end of the day, why don't we see more companies making more of an effort to improve right now? The tax and accounting fields are notoriously resistant to change. Derrick says education is key; companies need to start having open dialogues about these topics, and really listen to their staff. As a young professional new to the workforce, there's such an advantage to seeing yourself and your identity represented in your field. Derrick shares how companies can begin to make representation more of a priority.  When hiring, how can professionals learn to look beyond their internal biases, from sharing an alma mater with an applicant, to tackling race and gender biases? Search engines, technology, and online recruiting software have already widened the field and can help companies cast a broader net when seeking to hire. But how can firms teach their staff to overcome their biases when it comes to interviews and offers of employment? Derrick encourages teams to go through mandatory unconscious bias training, with an emphasis on retention just as much as recruitment. He says firms have to make the effort to mentor and develop diverse professionals on a daily basis, long after they've recruited them to the team. The demographics numbers regarding who is graduating versus who is managing teams do not match up at all. In other words, it can be hard for new grads to find an influential mentor in their field that looks like them.  Diversity and inclusion commitments start with the leadership of the company, Derrick says. And it's up to the leadership teams to keep the DEI strategy at high priority, and to assign mentors and sponsors throughout their ranks and across all demographics.  How can staff members practice being supportive allies once new diverse employees are in place, without putting the pressure onto that new staff member to educate the rest of the team? What are Derrick's recommended resources for companies just getting started with putting diversity and inclusion initiatives into place? How can staff members work on speaking up on behalf of creating more diversity equity and inclusion efforts, without causing accidental harm or offense in the meantime? Derrick says that everyone will make mistakes along the way; it's important to create a safe space and stay dedicated to your own further education into the subject. Where does Derrick see diversity and inclusion initiatives going in the future, and how can companies keep expanding upon them for a more diverse and inclusive workplace environment?   More about Kelly Phillips Erb:   Kelly is the creator and host of the Taxgirl podcast series. Kelly is a practicing tax attorney with considerable experience and knowledge. She works with taxpayers like you every day. One of the things that she does is help folks out of tax jams, and hopefully, keep others from getting into them.

Still the dead season. Nonetheless, GHJ pushes on to provide premium Jags content. 'Nuff said.

GHJ's Derrick Coleman explains why the pandemic and the move to remote work can help the accounting profession move the needle on diversity. 

The guys are back at it with the premiere of season 2. It's time to catch up with what's been going on so far this offseason: free agents, blessings for shoulder surgeries, and Baalke's ridiculous voice are all hot topics. We introduce Three Questions and play a new offseason game. Enjoy the 2021 season ya GHJ diehards.

Season 1 of GHJ wraps up with the guys talking a little coaching staff, Super Bowl recap, and general hopefulness for the future. Cheers to Season 2 coming soon - it can't be any worse than 1-15 right??

In this week's episode, Brad highlights the assessment portion of each phase of the pitching cycle, to help better identify opportunities to catch abnormalities early and also better prepare therapists, strength coaches, pitching coaches, trainers for better implementation strategies. The Pitching Cycle Includes: 1.) The Wind Up The entire motion of throwing takes approximately 2 seconds. The wind up takes ~ 1.5 seconds and prepares all the body parts for the act of throwing the ball. In this phase the lower extremity and torso are dominant and the shoulder musculature is minimally active. Most power in pitching is generated from the LE and torso so having good alignment and balance is very important for creating a stable base for the pitcher to initiate their throwing motion. What do you look for in this phase? Hip, knee, ankle alignment. Adequate hip flexion, shoulder/elbow/head pointing toward the target, and slight knee flexion in stance leg to allow for powerful push off. 2.) Early Cocking Phase This phase prepares the shoulder to the throw the ball. What do you look for? Scapular loading, shoulder height in level with the ball, start of transfer in LE from back leg to front leg, hips/knees/ankles pointing toward target, initiation of power lunge. RETRACT AND DEPRESS IS THE NAME OF THE GAME!!! This is the phase that PT's can help the most. Creating a stable environment for the shoulder complex is most important as the shoulder prepares to achieve a high external rotation degree in the late cocking phase. 3.) Late Cocking Phase Phase of maximal external rotation in shoulder. This phase in elite pitchers will show 120-130 degrees. The anterior shoulder is eccentrically contracted and put on stretch while the posterior shoulder girdle is active to prepare the arm for forceful contraction when the arm prepares to move forward in the next phase of acceleration. What do you look for? Adequate shoulder external rotation, rotation of torso to show chest opening up toward target, good hip/knee/ankle alignment in the forward lunge position, and shoulder/elbow to be over the top of stance leg to allow LE and torso to generate power and take pressure off shoulder girdle complex as pitcher progresses forward. 4.) Acceleration Phase Shoulder is moving from eccentric contraction to concentric contraction as the shoulder moves from external rotation to internal rotation. GHJ: from 125 deg ER to 60 deg of IR at an angular velocity of 7000 deg/sec (for 90 mph pitch) Power generates from closed chain contact with ground and stiff/stable core to launch into acceleration. What to look for? Arc of motion from ER to IR, point of release, alignment of ball/elbow/knee in relation to middle of acceleration phase, and pelvis/hips/chest aligning with target. 5.) Deceleration This phase starts when ball is released. The posterior musculature of the shoulder eccentrically is working on slowing down the violent forward momentum and helps to control rotational velocity of humeral head. In theory, without eccentric firing of posterior shoulder chain the humeral head would continue to “spin off” into internal rotation. Focus during this phase? Kinetic chain absorption through pelvis, hips, LE and proper lead into final follow through to take stress off shoulder/elbow. 6.) Follow Through This phase intends to focus on “slowing down the body”. If this phase is completed correctly the throwers body is under control and balanced. What are you looking for? Max hip extension, balanced SLS on stance leg, “skater position” showing a good absorption of rotational force.

When people say, “My shoulder hurts,” they often point to different areas in the vicinity of the shoulder such as the base of neck, the collar bone, the scapula (shoulder blade), the chest, and/or their arm. The challenge with the shoulder is that it's anatomically comprised of three joints: the glenohumeral joint, or GHJ (ball-and-socket); the acromioclavicular joint, or ACJ (collar bone and scapula); and the scapulothoracic joint, or STJ (shoulder blade and rib cage). Some researchers even argue that the sternoclavicular joint, or SCJ (collar bone and sternum), should also be considered part of the shoulder. From a musculoskeletal standpoint, the list of conditions that can cause shoulder pain is quite lengthy (and NOT all-inclusive): avascular necrosis (the bone dies due to lack of blood flow), nerve injury (neck and/or peripheral), thoracic outlet syndrome, fractures in/around the shoulder, bursitis, shoulder dislocation, frozen shoulder, impingement, arthritis (several types), rotator cuff injury, sprains, tendinitis or rupture, and labral tears (cartilage rim around the socket). One of the most common causes of shoulder pain is impingement, which may occur with many of the above-mentioned conditions. This is technically referred to as “subacromial impingement” (SAI), which is essentially a reduction of the normal gap between the ball and socket, thus limiting the amount of room the joint has to function. Classic symptoms include pinching and pain when trying to put a coat sleeve on or raising the arm horizontally. To complicate matters, conditions elsewhere in the body can also refer pain to the shoulder. In 2018, a study noted instances in which athletes failed to respond to routine treatment for shoulder pain but experienced improvements in pain and function when treatment addressed dysfunction in the cervical spine. Non-musculoskeletal conditions can also result in shoulder pain, such as gall bladder disease, which classically refers pain to the right scapula/shoulder blade. Other abdominal organ conditions that can refer pain to the shoulder include pancreatitis, an ovarian cyst, an ectopic pregnancy, as well as post-surgical referred pain. A heart attack classically refers pain to the left shoulder and left arm but may also include the abdomen, jaw, and/or mid-back. A lung condition such as a blood clot (pulmonary embolism), infection (like pneumonia), or lung cancer or tumors may also refer pain to the shoulder. Doctors of chiropractic are trained to evaluate the whole patient and identify contributing factors for the patient's chief complaint. In instances in which a non-musculoskeletal issue is suspected, the patient may be referred to the appropriate healthcare provider. However, a combination of manual therapies (manipulation/mobilization), exercise, ergonomic modifications, nutritional counseling, and physical therapy modalities can result in a satisfying outcome in most cases of shoulder pain. www.PainReliefChiroOnline.com
