Knee pain when you squat, run, take the stairs, or try to get back to your sport? At ElevateYou Physical Therapy in Murrieta, Dr. Richi Krottmayer, DPT, finds what’s driving your knee pain and builds a plan to get you moving, training, and competing without it.
Knee Problems We Treat
- Knee pain with squatting, lunging, stairs, or running

Why Your Knee Keeps Hurting
The knee usually takes the blame for problems that start somewhere else: stiff ankles, weak hips, or a squat and landing pattern that dumps load into the joint. We look at the whole chain, calm the knee down with hands-on care, then rebuild strength so it holds up under the activities you care about. Every visit is a full 1:1 session with your Doctor of Physical Therapy.
What Patients Say
I had 3 sprained ligaments in my knee that had me hesitant for almost 2 years… I’m not scared to do certain workouts anymore now that I gained the stability and strength back.

After struggling with knee pain and an MCL injury, I was concerned about getting back to the sports I love, like ice hockey and pickleball… Thanks to him, I’m back on the rink and the court, doing what I love.
