Spasticity & Movement Partners, a specialty rehabilitation practice founded by Dr. David Park, has opened its doors at 15 Engle St, Suite 106 in Englewood, New Jersey. The practice is dedicated to providing focused, compassionate, and evidence-based care for individuals living with spasticity and complex movement challenges, offering a more 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 leaving patients and caregivers feeling overwhelmed. Spasticity & Movement Partners aims to clarify the causes of tightness, stiffness, spasms, or reduced mobility and to demonstrate that meaningful improvement is possible through a collaborative, patient-centered approach.
At the helm is Dr. David Park, a board-certified physiatrist with advanced training in physical medicine and rehabilitation, pain management, and spasticity-focused care. Dr. Park earned his medical degree from Boston University's accelerated seven-year 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. His clinical approach combines medical expertise with a strong commitment to patient education and functional improvement.
“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 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.”
The practice offers comprehensive spasticity assessments, including neurologic and musculoskeletal evaluation, range of motion testing, gait analysis, and structured goal setting. Treatment options include oral medications such as baclofen, tizanidine, and diazepam; targeted procedures like botulinum toxin injections (Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, Myobloc) and phenol nerve blocks, often guided by ultrasound or electromyography; and intrathecal baclofen pump management for severe spasticity. These services are designed to reduce muscle overactivity, improve comfort, support mobility, and enhance participation in daily activities.
A defining feature of Spasticity & Movement Partners is its commitment to multidisciplinary collaboration. The practice works closely with physical and occupational therapists, neurologists, primary care physicians, orthopedic and neurosurgical specialists, speech-language pathologists, and other care team members to ensure coordinated, comprehensive management. Treatment success is measured not just by reduced muscle tone but by helping patients achieve meaningful goals like walking farther, transferring more safely, dressing with less assistance, or easing caregiver burden.
The practice also recognizes the essential role of caregivers, offering education, practical guidance, and a collaborative care model that respects their perspective. By involving caregivers as part of the team, Spasticity & Movement Partners aims to improve communication and create treatment plans that fit the realities of home life.
