Spasticity & Movement Partners, a specialty rehabilitation practice founded by Dr. David Park, has announced its opening in Englewood, New Jersey. Located at 15 Engle St, Suite 106, the practice is designed to offer focused, compassionate, and evidence-based care for individuals living with spasticity and complex movement challenges. The goal is to provide a personalized path forward for patients seeking to reduce pain, improve mobility, and regain confidence in daily life.
Spasticity can significantly impact daily activities such as walking, dressing, hygiene, transfers, sleep, and overall comfort, often creating challenges for both patients and caregivers. The practice aims to clarify the causes of symptoms like tightness, stiffness, spasms, and reduced mobility, and to determine whether meaningful improvement is possible. Dr. David Park, a board-certified physiatrist with advanced training in physical medicine and rehabilitation, pain management, and spasticity care, leads the practice. He earned his medical degree through Boston University's accelerated BA/MD program, completed his residency at Tufts Medical Center, where he served as chief resident, and pursued fellowship training in pain management in Manhattan.
“Spasticity care should never be one-size-fits-all,” said Dr. Park. “Every patient has a different story, different challenges, and different goals. My vision for this practice was to create a place where patients and caregivers receive clear answers, thoughtful treatment options, and a plan built around what matters most to them, whether that is walking more comfortably, reducing pain, improving hygiene, easing caregiver burden, or participating more fully in daily life.”
The practice offers comprehensive spasticity assessments, including neurologic and musculoskeletal evaluation, range of motion testing, gait observation, and structured goal setting. Treatment options include oral medications such as baclofen, tizanidine, and diazepam, as well as targeted procedures like botulinum toxin injections (Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, Myobloc), phenol nerve blocks, and diagnostic nerve blocks, often guided by ultrasound or electromyography. For severe spasticity, intrathecal baclofen pump management is available, including pump refills and dose adjustments coordinated with neurosurgical teams.
A key feature of the practice is its commitment to multidisciplinary collaboration. Spasticity & Movement Partners works with physical therapists, occupational therapists, neurologists, primary care physicians, orthopedic and neurosurgical specialists, speech-language pathologists, durable medical equipment providers, home health agencies, and other care team members to support coordinated management. The practice also focuses on measurable progress through goal-oriented tracking and reassessment, ensuring that treatment aligns with patients' real-life goals, such as walking farther, transferring safely, or reducing pain.
Caregivers are recognized as essential partners, and the practice offers education, practical guidance, and a collaborative care model that respects their perspective. By involving caregivers as part of the team, the practice aims to improve communication and create treatment plans that fit the realities of home life. Spasticity & Movement Partners enters the Northern New Jersey healthcare market with a vision to become a trusted leader in spasticity-focused rehabilitation, where personalized treatment meets innovation and clinical expertise is paired with empathy.
