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 dedicated to providing focused, compassionate, and evidence-based care for individuals living with spasticity and complex movement challenges. The practice offers a personalized approach to help patients reduce pain, improve mobility, and regain confidence in daily life.
The practice provides comprehensive evaluation, advanced treatment options, coordinated rehabilitation planning, and goal-based progress tracking. Spasticity can affect various aspects of daily life, including walking, dressing, hygiene, transfers, sleep, and caregiver support. Spasticity & Movement Partners aims to clarify the causes of tightness, stiffness, spasms, or reduced mobility and determine whether meaningful improvement is possible.
Dr. David Park, a board-certified physiatrist, leads the practice. He earned his medical degree through Boston University's accelerated BA/MD program, completed his residency in Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation at Tufts Medical Center, where he served as chief resident, and pursued advanced 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," 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 built around what matters most to them."
The practice offers comprehensive spasticity assessments to evaluate the severity, pattern, and functional impact of each patient's condition. These evaluations include neurologic and musculoskeletal assessment, range of motion testing, gait observation, and structured goal setting. Treatment plans are individualized and may include oral medications such as baclofen, tizanidine, and diazepam when clinically appropriate.
For focal or complex spasticity, the practice provides targeted procedures including botulinum toxin injections (Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, Myobloc), phenol nerve blocks, and diagnostic nerve blocks, often using ultrasound and electromyography guidance. Intrathecal baclofen pump management is available for severe or widespread spasticity, including pump refills and dose adjustments.
A defining feature of the practice is its commitment to multidisciplinary collaboration. Spasticity & Movement Partners works with physical therapists, occupational therapists, neurologists, primary care physicians, and other specialists to support coordinated care. The practice also focuses on measurable progress, tracking goals such as walking farther, transferring safely, reducing pain, and easing caregiver burden.
Caregivers are recognized as essential partners. The practice offers education, practical guidance, and a collaborative care model to improve communication and create treatment plans that fit home realities. Spasticity & Movement Partners aims to become a trusted leader in spasticity-focused rehabilitation in Northern New Jersey.
