About Me

…

I was born and raised in Minnesota and earned my Bachelor of Science and Doctor of Chiropractic degrees from Logan College of Chiropractic in St. Louis, Missouri, graduating magna cum laude. I am a certified chiropractic sports physician with a passion for treating soft tissue injuries. I am a full body certified Active Release Technique (ART) provider, specializing in treating injuries with muscles, fascia, tendons, ligaments and nerves. I enjoy utilizing this technique to help my patients because of how efficient and effective it is with so many common conditions and injuries. I believe so strongly in ART, that I have become an ART instructor working with practitioners in my spare time. I am also ART biomechanics certified and work closely with a variety of athletes to minimize their chance of injury while maximizing their overall performance. I've enjoyed being a part of the ART Ironman treatment team for Ironman Canada on multiple occasions. I enjoy spending my free time with my wife and my 2 children. In the winter, you can likely find us ice fishing for walleye on one of Minnesota’s 10,000+ lakes.

Testimonials and Endorsements

Dr. Brian is hands down the only Chiropractor/ART Specialist that I have worked with that truly understands an athlete's body. He knows the right way to fix an injury so that I could get back to competing as soon as possible. Without his knowledge and expertise, I would not be able to do the things that I do.
Dave P

Dr. Brian Gervais played a very fundamental part in keeping me healthy and able to compete during my years of running for the University of Oregon. I was referred to him by a PT group out of Virginia, and after that he has been there for me ever since. He goes above and beyond the call of duty, if he is unsure how to deal with a certain injury he will research and figure out the best way to take care of it. Dr. Gervais is a great doctor, and I am proud to also call him a friend.
