Spasticity & Movement Partners, a specialty rehabilitation practice founded by Dr. David Park, has opened at 15 Engle St, Suite 106 in Englewood, New Jersey, offering focused care for individuals living with spasticity and complex movement challenges. The practice aims to help patients reduce pain, improve mobility, and regain confidence in daily life through comprehensive evaluation and advanced treatment options.
Spasticity can affect many aspects of daily life, including walking, dressing, hygiene, transfers, sleep, and comfort. For many patients, understanding the cause of tightness, stiffness, or reduced mobility can be overwhelming. Spasticity & Movement Partners was created to make that process clearer and more collaborative, centered around each patient's real-life goals.
Dr. David Park, a board-certified physiatrist, leads the practice. He 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, 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, 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, as well as targeted procedures like botulinum toxin injections (Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, Myobloc), phenol nerve blocks, and diagnostic nerve blocks, often performed with ultrasound or electromyography guidance. For severe spasticity, intrathecal baclofen pump management is available, 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 emphasizes caregiver involvement, offering education and practical guidance to improve communication and fit treatment plans into daily life.
Treatment success is measured not just by reduced muscle tone but by helping patients achieve meaningful goals, such as walking farther, transferring more safely, or reducing pain. The practice uses goal-oriented tracking and reassessment to adjust plans as needed.
Spasticity & Movement Partners enters the Northern New Jersey healthcare market with a vision to become a trusted leader in spasticity-focused rehabilitation. Patients, caregivers, and referring physicians can learn more at www.spasticitymp.com.
