Spasticity & Movement Partners, a specialty rehabilitation practice founded by Dr. David Park, has opened its doors in Englewood, New Jersey, offering focused care for individuals living with spasticity and complex movement challenges. 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, often resulting from conditions such as stroke, brain injury, cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, and spinal cord injury, can significantly impact daily activities, including walking, dressing, hygiene, and sleep. Dr. Park, a board-certified physiatrist with advanced training in physical medicine and rehabilitation, pain management, and spasticity-focused care, emphasizes a patient-centered approach. “Spasticity care should never be one-size-fits-all,” says Dr. Park. “Every patient has a different story, different challenges, and different goals.”
The practice offers comprehensive evaluations, including neurologic and musculoskeletal assessments, range of motion testing, and gait observation, to develop individualized treatment plans. Options include oral medications such as baclofen, tizanidine, and diazepam; targeted procedures like botulinum toxin injections (Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, Myobloc) and phenol nerve blocks; and intrathecal baclofen pump management. Procedures are guided by ultrasound and electromyography for precision.
A defining feature of Spasticity & Movement Partners is its commitment to multidisciplinary collaboration, working with physical and occupational therapists, neurologists, primary care physicians, and other specialists. The practice also focuses on measurable progress, setting goals such as walking farther, transferring more safely, or reducing pain, and tracking outcomes to adjust plans as needed.
Caregivers are recognized as essential partners, receiving education and support to ensure treatment plans fit home realities. Dr. Park’s background includes a medical degree from Boston University’s accelerated BA/MD program, a residency at Tufts Medical Center where he served as chief resident, and a fellowship in pain management in Manhattan.
