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 personalized path forward for patients seeking to reduce pain, improve mobility, and regain confidence in daily life.
Spasticity can affect many aspects of daily life, from walking and dressing to hygiene, transfers, sleep, and caregiver support. For many patients, understanding the causes of tightness, stiffness, spasms, or reduced mobility and whether meaningful improvement is possible can be overwhelming. Spasticity & Movement Partners was created to make that process clearer, more collaborative, and centered around each patient's real-life goals.
At the core of the practice 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 through Boston University's accelerated seven-year BA/MD program, completed his residency in Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation at Tufts Medical Center, and pursued advanced fellowship training in pain management in Manhattan. His clinical approach combines medical expertise with a strong commitment to patient education, functional improvement, and long-term partnership.
"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 may include neurologic and musculoskeletal assessment, range of motion testing, gait and movement observation, review of prior treatments, and structured goal setting. Based on these assessments, Spasticity & Movement Partners develops individualized treatment plans that may 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. Procedures are performed using ultrasound and/or electromyography guidance to improve precision.
For patients with severe or widespread spasticity, the practice also provides intrathecal baclofen pump management, including pump refills, dose adjustments, and coordination with neurosurgical teams. The goal is to maintain safe, effective, and functional tone management aligned with the patient's care plan and quality-of-life goals.
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 members of the care team to support coordinated, comprehensive management.
Treatment success is measured by helping patients achieve their personal goals, whether that means walking farther, transferring more safely, dressing with less assistance, reducing pain, or easing caregiver burden. The practice uses goal-oriented tracking and reassessment to ensure that treatment plans remain effective and aligned with patient priorities.
Spasticity & Movement Partners also recognizes the essential role of caregivers, offering education, practical guidance, and a collaborative care model that respects the caregiver's perspective. By involving caregivers as part of the team, the practice aims to improve communication and create treatment plans that fit the realities of life at home.
