Hi there! My name is Behzad Bakhshandeh, I am a graduate of Bancroft School of Massage Therapy and hold a Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science from Becker College. I am also a Certified Postural Specialist through the National Posture Institute, experienced in Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization through Hawk Grips, and am an NCSF certified personal trainer with over 15 years experience in coaching clients to meet their goals.
Specializing in human movement and functional mobility, I draw upon my own experience as a competitive athlete is the sports of Strongman, Powerlifting and Highland Games when analyzing my clients’ challenges and needs. I am constantly learning new techniques and modalities to help guide my clients towards recovery and a better lifestyle.
In addition to body work and competitive strength athletics, I am active in charitable work and fundraising. I am a regular participant in Relentless Minnesota and Detroit, a charity driven powerlifting meet that helps raise money for children battling life threatening illnesses, and help my local branches of Special Olympics and Best Buddies.
When I am not in my treatment room, I create fine leather goods for my other business Bear Claw Leather, and enjoys spending quality time with my wife Taylor, our dog Tyr, our cats Ollie, Siggy, and Mushroom, and our extended family of both biology and of choice.
