Spasticity & Movement Partners, a specialty rehabilitation practice founded by Dr. David Park, has opened 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. Its mission is to help patients achieve greater comfort, confidence, and independence through comprehensive evaluation, advanced treatment options, and coordinated rehabilitation planning.
Spasticity can significantly impact daily activities such as walking, dressing, hygiene, and sleep, often leaving patients and caregivers uncertain about the causes and possible improvements. Spasticity & Movement Partners aims to clarify this process by offering personalized care centered on each patient's real-life goals. 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 from Boston University's accelerated BA/MD program, completed his residency at Tufts Medical Center as chief resident, and pursued a fellowship in pain management in Manhattan.
“Spasticity care should never be one-size-fits-all,” says 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 that is 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 goal setting, to develop individualized treatment plans.
Treatment options include oral medications such as baclofen, tizanidine, and diazepam, carefully monitored for efficacy and side effects. For focal spasticity, the practice provides botulinum toxin injections (Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, Myobloc), phenol nerve blocks, and diagnostic nerve blocks, often guided by ultrasound or electromyography for precision. For severe or widespread spasticity, intrathecal baclofen pump management is available, including refills and dose adjustments in coordination with neurosurgical teams.
A key feature of Spasticity & Movement Partners is its commitment to multidisciplinary collaboration. The practice works with physical and 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 ensure coordinated management. Progress is tracked through goal-oriented reassessment, focusing on functional improvements such as walking farther, transferring safely, dressing with less assistance, or reducing pain.
The practice also recognizes the vital role of caregivers, offering education, practical guidance, and a collaborative 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 home life realities. The practice enters the Northern New Jersey healthcare market with a vision to become a trusted leader in spasticity-focused rehabilitation, combining personalized treatment with clinical expertise and empathy.
