Repsher Physical Therapy

Repsher Physical Therapy Albany, NY’s Premier Physical Therapy Office🏆
‘Helping People Over Life's Hurdles' since 1980! Our patients learn they cannot fall while wearing the harness.

Our passion is to provide individualized hands on physical therapy in a calm relaxed atmosphere. Our staff have advanced training and attend continuing education courses on a regular basis. Our patients love the AlterG treadmill which allows them to be unweighted up to 80% of their body weight walking or running while protecting healing tissues. We also utilize a Guldmann safety harness which supports patients while performing balance exercises. The skills learned allow them to progress to safe fall free walking at home. Our newest addition is Deep Tissue Laser Therapy which utilizes therapeutic levels of Laser light to reduce pain and speed up the healing process. This has been effective with patients even after suffering with high levels of chronic pain for years. We are a member of the Hospital of Special Surgery Rehabilitation Network. This allows patients to have their therapy coordinated between the hospital and our office.

Knee pain doesn’t usually come from “bad knees.”
It comes from under-prepared knees.

At Repsher PT, we help people get past recurring knee pain by:
✔ Building real quad + hip strength
✔ Managing activity load intelligently
✔ Progressing exercises as the knee adapts

Relief is good. Resilience is better.

💾 Save this if your knee pain keeps coming back

When internal rotation is limited, the shoulder doesn’t clear space well — which can increase impingement symptoms during everyday movements (like reaching into a cupboard).

👉 A simple behind-the-back check can reveal this
👉 The sleeper stretch (done correctly and pain-free) can help restore that motion

If overhead activities hurt, don’t ignore it — address the why, not just the pain.

Scapular Pull-Ups: Small Move. Big Shoulder Benefits. 💪🟦

Scapular pull-ups train your shoulder blades first—before the elbows ever bend. They’re a foundational exercise for shoulder health, posture, and stronger pull-ups.

How to do them:
• Start in a dead hang
• Keep arms straight
• Pull your shoulder blades down and back
• Lift your body slightly without bending the elbows
• Control the return to a full hang

Why we love them:
✔ Improves scapular control
✔ Builds shoulder stability
✔ Helps prevent shoulder & neck pain
✔ A must-have for pull-ups, climbing, and overhead athletes

Programming tip:
2–3 sets of 6–10 slow reps, or 10–20 sec holds at the top.

Shoulders bothering you during pull-ups or hangs? We can help dial this in. 👊

On September 9th, while playing volleyball, Spencer suffered a complete ACL tear in his right knee. As a parent to a wheelchair-bound son who relies on him every day, getting back to 100% wasn’t optional — it was essential.

Through thoughtful, personalized rehab and steady support during the tough plateaus, Shane helped Spencer rebuild his strength and confidence.

Today, Spencer is back to carrying his son — something he doesn’t take for granted.

“I’ll be forever grateful to Shane and the entire team at Repsher. I NEVER dreaded my visits.”

💙 Strength is personal. Rehab should be too.

On Friday we had our first Repsher Physical Therapy holiday party at Hank Hudson Brew Pub 🎄🍻
It was great to get everyone together outside the clinic, celebrate the year, and enjoy time as a team. We’re incredibly grateful for this group—for the way they care about each other, our patients, and our office. A big thank you to our families for all of their support as well. Looking forward to many more celebrations together.

✨ 3 Months Post-Op Update ✨

The 3-month mark is where rehab really starts to shift toward getting stronger overall. This phase is about building solid strength with good quality, full-range calf raises—first double-leg, then progressing to single-leg as best as you can. Quality matters more than speed here.

Once that strength is in place, we can start layering in light agility work and controlled impact. Nothing rushed, nothing forced—just steady progress.

And while there’s no hurry, it’s extremely encouraging to already be able to hop and run stairs. Those are big signs that strength, confidence, and capacity are coming back.

Slow, strong, and intentional now = better results later 💪

🏂💨 Snowboard Season: Engage Steeze Mode.
Warm up those legs, fire up the glutes, and keep that core switched ON before you drop in — your body (and your tailbone) will thank you later. 😎❄️
A 3–5 minute dynamic warm-up can cut down stiffness and help you ride longer.
