About Keith

Certified Massage Therapist · 15+ Years · Fairfield, CA

I’m Keith LaGrone, a certified massage therapist with over 15 years of hands-on experience, and the person behind KnotReset.

I didn’t start here. I spent a decade working at the Oakland Museum of California — good work, meaningful work — but by 2007 I’d been living with a persistent, chronic low-grade depression long enough to recognize it wasn’t going away on its own. Not dramatic. Just the kind of steady weight that makes forward motion harder than it needs to be. I finally stopped overthinking the exit and enrolled at the National Holistic Institute in Emeryville.

The moment I started learning the actual science behind what my hands had been doing instinctively for years, everything clicked.

After graduating I joined Xavier Powell’s Rock Solid Massage Therapy Team, which put me on the sidelines of serious athletic competition — the Nike Women’s Half-Marathon, the Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon, Stair Climb America. Working with people pushing their bodies to absolute limits teaches you things a classroom can’t. You learn to read movement patterns under load. You learn that the place that hurts is rarely the place that broke.

That idea took root when I met Aaron Parnell and began studying Reposturing Dynamics. Up until that point I was still thinking locally — find the pain, work the pain. Reposturing flipped the whole model. The shoulder problem might be anchored in the opposite hip. The foot issue might be a conversation that started at the lower back. The body is an interconnected structure, and treating it like a collection of separate parts is how people end up chasing the same symptom for years.

That’s what KnotReset is built on.

What This Site Is

KnotReset isn’t a booking page. It’s a map. The Body City framework gives you a way to understand your own structure — which neighborhoods are doing their jobs, which ones have gone quiet, and what the compensation patterns look like before they become injuries. Whether you’re an athlete, a desk worker, someone who stands on concrete all day, or just a person who wakes up stiff and wants to understand why — there’s something here for you.

The bigger goal is that you leave this site understanding your body well enough that you need me less. That’s the job.

Work With Me

I’m still based in Fairfield and I do take clients, though I’m not actively booking. If you want to reach out about a session, you can find me on MassageBook. Appointments are by request — not online booking.
