Founded in 2006 and operating as a veteran-owned and LGBTQ+-owned studio, The Knotstop runs a full-service massage, stretch, and organic skincare practice at 2655 Fourth Avenue in the heart of Hillcrest. The therapist roster requires a minimum 500-hour training threshold and covers Swedish, deep tissue, prenatal, and sports modalities alongside assisted-stretch sessions that overlap with the alignment work at Anatomy Chiropractic. Organic and clinical esthetics sit alongside the massage menu, with facials, peels, and product retail housed in a front-of-house boutique. The KnotClub membership model packages monthly massage credits with add-on benefits, credit rollover, and birthday perks. Dedicated stretch technicians run assisted-stretch sessions as a distinct service line, building out a flexibility-and-recovery program that parallels the mat asana practice at Kai Yoga. The most complex booking pairs a 90-minute deep-tissue session with a structured assisted-stretch protocol and an organic facial for clients training for endurance events like Spartan races and the Rock 'n' Roll Marathon.
