P H y s i C a l T H e R a P y P l U s Do you or someone you know suffer from or have had shoulder pain? Shoulder pain is a very common issue that can be corrected and prevented from reoccurring if treated properly. The shoulder joint has the most movement of any joint in the body, therefore it requires the muscles that surround it to work extremely hard. There are many deficits that can cause shoulder problems but the prevailing cause is usually issues with the rotator cuff muscles. The rotator cuff is a group of four muscles that are the main stabilizers of the shoulder. They allow us to be able to throw, reach and repetitively use our arm at all angles. Issues with the rotator cuff lead to pain from issues such as impingement (pinching on the tendon) and tendonitis (inflammation of the tendon). Regaining and maintaining proper range of motion of the shoulder, having proper strength and endurance of the shoulder muscles as well as proper shoulder mechanics are imperative to keeping the shoulder healthy and pain free. If you are having shoulder problems or any other spinal,orthopedic, musculoskeletal, vestibular or balance issues, give our clinic a call. We are experts in treatment of all of these areas and your entire course of treatment will be performed by a physical therapist ONLY, as we do not use PT assistants or aides at our Annandale office. – Article courtesy of Dean Rummel PT, Clinical Director of Physical Therapy Plus Annandale/Clinton.

Marty Campanelli will present "A Sampling of Hunterdon County Needlework," a lively and colorful Powerpoint detailing current research on the various styles of schoolgirl samplers created in Hunterdon in the early 1800's. Personal life stories about some of the sampler makers will also be featured. Mrs. Campanelli has written books and magazine articles on this fascinating subject, and was one of the co-curators for the New Jersey sampler exhibit at Morven Museum in Princeton in 2014.
