Gebhart Parzer
Gebhart turned to Massage Therapy after a short service in the military as a drill sergeant and training as a minister at his home college in Austria. There in Austria, where he is originally from, he began his training for what would become a life long career. This first step was the attendance of a program offered from a local hospital in 1976 taught by the post-World War 2 generation of massage therapists. With his interest peaked and his career begun, he continued seeking education from many institutions in Austria, Germany, and Japan through the years of 1977- 1981. To the present he has maintained a practice in the field of massage as well as taught at various schools in the States since the 80’s. The only exception to this is a remarkable come back story about 10 years long, where he was involved in a rough motorcycle accident and took many many years to fully recover and return to his private practice, though he continued to teach for most of this time.
He runs a successful private practice out of Likeminded Therapies and has been with us since 2014.
Gebhart loves the idea of building up the next generation of orthopedic/therapeutic massage therapist, and Rodrick and Jesse can both vouch for this as we trained directly under him back in 2009-2010 giving us both the foundations of our craft. The foundation is paramount in any craft/trade school for this is the rock on which we build.
Gebhart has the dual capacity of the heavy hand of drill instructor or Sensei retained from both his military and martial training, balanced by the kind heart of a life long, dedicated master of touch.
