Spasticity & Movement Partners, a specialty rehabilitation practice founded by Dr. David Park, has opened in Englewood, New Jersey, offering focused care for individuals living with spasticity and complex movement disorders. Located at 15 Engle St, Suite 106, the practice aims 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 caregiver support. Many patients struggle to understand the causes of tightness, stiffness, or spasms, and whether improvement is possible. Spasticity & Movement Partners was created to clarify this process through comprehensive evaluation, advanced treatment options, and coordinated rehabilitation planning.
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 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 evaluating severity, pattern, and functional impact. These may 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, carefully monitored to balance symptom relief with function and safety.
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. These are performed using ultrasound and/or electromyography guidance to improve precision. For severe or widespread spasticity, intrathecal baclofen pump management is available, including refills and dose adjustments coordinated with neurosurgical teams.
A defining feature of Spasticity & Movement Partners is its commitment to multidisciplinary collaboration. The practice 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 emphasizes measurable progress, focusing on goals such as walking farther, transferring more safely, dressing with less assistance, reducing pain, or preventing complications. Goal-oriented tracking and reassessment help patients and caregivers understand what works and where adjustments are needed. Caregivers are integrated as part of the team, receiving education and practical guidance to support home care.
Spasticity & Movement Partners enters the Northern New Jersey market with a vision to become a trusted leader in spasticity-focused rehabilitation. For more information, visit www.spasticitymp.com or call 201-255-5552.
