The Knotstop Stretchstop, San Diego CA

Gabe has some serious magic hands. He’s worked on me several times now and is just a nice guy. He finds all the spots that need care or release. I’m already scheduled for my 3rd session with him!

Would give zero if I could.had an appointment and ending up sitting in the “relaxation” room for 30 minutes and no one ever came. Ending up leaving on my own….

Henry is extremely experienced and knowledgable about the body and is also an absolute pleasure to be around as well. I really enjoyed Henry was very attentive and attuned to my needs and adjusted various parts to accommodate my problem areas and pain points. He knew exactly what my body needed, and I feel amazing after a 90 minute massage. I can’t wait to go back to Henry.

The experience was so therapeutic and the ambiance was AMAZING. The staff are so welcoming and helpful.

Bad experience. I went here 4 times and had unfortunate experiences during 2 of those times, that ruined the point of paying for a relaxing massage. The massages are average, prices aren’t great, and the front desk service there is rude. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone.

Def book time with Sergei. I’ve been getting body work done for 3 years and he’s one of the best masseurs I’ve used. Genuinely wants to ensure that you get what you want out of it. For me, a deep tissue sports works best- and he is strong. Thanks Sergei

Sergey is a gem at The Knot Stop. I’ve been booking massage therapy with Sergey for a couple years now, and in my opinion, his rate is a bargain. I’ve only ever received this level treatment at high-end resorts, and paid twice as much for it. His experience is apparent, but I think that kind of sensibility comes naturally. Also he genuinely takes pride in his work, and is very focused and professional, a true master therapist.

I have gotten several 60-minute muscle relief massages here from Sergei and he is nothing short of excellent.

He is very professional, experienced, and is one of the leads at this location. I went in for my first massage after a recommendation from a friend and am now on a monthly plan. I have recommended Sergei to multiple other friends and family members, who all have shared the same opinion.

You won't regret it!

We have been going to the Knotstop since they open in 2006. I would recommend this customer centric shop to anyone who like more personalized service.

Sergey Is the reason I keep coming back to the knotstop. I have had a lot of other message therapist here before they were all good but Sergey is where it’s at! A fantastic combination of deep message with some relaxing stuff and light stretching.

I had a session with Gabe H. Gabe gives 5 star service! He is not only kind and caring but listens to my needs and is professional and knows how to properly address my problem areas. He is my number one therapist at Knotstop. I hope he gets recognition and appreciated for all his hard work.

Friends, if you're looking at these reviews. Just go! I couldn't ask for a better experience. Tonight I had a 90 minute relaxation massage with Ian, and it was honestly the best massage I've had in SD. I don't like Asain style massages and I don't enjoy having elbows jabbed into my back with unbearable pressure. I communicated that before we began and I was in bliss the entire time. The amenities and spaces were very clean, well lit and the front desk staff were so kind and. Well, welcoming. Hopefully this gem sticks around!

Great massage with Jose and stretching with Sparks. Careful with COVID precautions and friendly people.

I was super hopefully going into my 90 minutes muscle relief massage. I’m a nurse so I frequently get massages to try to work out the problems areas in my back. My massage was underwhelming, with only one type of long extremely slow stroke (like being foam rolled but by a human). I didn’t feel like the therapist focused on my problem areas that I clearly pointed out. Overall I spent over 100$, didn’t feel relaxed, and it didn’t help my back.

My 90 min Weekend Warrior/Sports massage was disappointing. The masseuse had a very light touch and didn't address the issues and/or areas I relayed. I gave up after the third hint/request. It was more like a basic rub down than an actual sports massage. A real let down. I usually do the 60 min so figured upgrading to the 90 min would just be more relaxing and effective. Not so. I was stressed and frustrated during and when I left. On the plus side, the new location is more conveneint for me and was very nice inside. Staff was also very nice, as usual. Bummer since I will likely be cancelling my membership after this experience.

Super clean and efficient without feeling sterile or rushed. The masseuses are all well trained in their specialities, they almost always have an available appointment, and the variety of services is great.

I have been going here for many years. I am very satisfied with booking, the front desk staff, the cleanliness and the anteroom with relaxing music and seating. Sergey has been my therapist for the past year or so and he is fantastic. I think he is the best I've found. Good pressure and overall feel very relaxed after the session. The only downside of my massage is when it ends and I have to wait for my next session!

I came in for a stretching appointment with really tight muscles in my upper legs after a hard workout a couple of days earlier. Alicia who took care of me was really great, ask me all the right questions to understand which areas need stretching the most, but most important is how to do the stretching. Alicia was able to “listen” to my body and adjust the stretch to make it most effective. After the session I felt so much better, my lower back felt loose and I was able to walk freely again without the feeling of tight and sore muscles. I am really happy I came here and recommend this place to everyone who is considering and not sure. Just GO. You owe it to your self!

This has to be one of the best places I have been in a long time! I have had chronic back, hip and shoulder problems from playing a pro sport for many years making it almost impossible to walk sometimes. Went here for a stretch and have to tell you it was AMAZING! Went back a few times after and felt so much better i can’t tell you! Definitely worth a try and I promise You will not be disappointed! Signed up for a membership and is affordable and well worth it. They even have a spa for a massage afterwards! Best of both worlds.

What can I say, I am a big fan of assisted stretching and have tried MANY places. This privately owned business, is clean, affordable and a one stop shop for massage, facials and gorgeous one of a kind gifts. You have to truly appreciate a business that gives back and has been supporting the local community for 13 years.
