Dr. Trina Fjerstad

I look forward to meeting and getting to know you if you decide to work with Revival.
I grew up in the Anoka, MN area where my love for staying active began. I have always been involved with activities from a young age which culminated with 4 years of collegiate football at the College of St. Scholastica, where I also earned my Doctorate of Physical Therapy. Some of my favorite hobbies include golf, fishing, basketball, and spending time with family. My goal as a physical therapist in Minneapolis is to give my clients the tools to feel better tomorrow, but also continue to feel better for life. I don’t believe aches and pains are something you “just have to live with” and they shouldn’t stop you from enjoying your life to the fullest

Hello there! A little about myself, I grew up in Rogers, MN and attended The College of Saint Scholastica after high school where I received my Doctorate of Physical Therapy. I played 4 years of college football. I enjoy running, hunting, fishing, golfing, skiing, and spending time with my wife. I am excited to work as your physical therapist in Minneapolis and believe that YOU have the power to fix nagging aches and pains with the right dose of exercise, knowledge, and hands on approach.

I specialize in treating active women and mothers who are experiencing pelvic pain and related conditions. This includes urinary incontinence (urgency or leakage), pain with insertion, pelvic organ prolapse, diastasis recti, and more. I am passionate about supporting women through every stage of motherhood — from pregnancy to postpartum and beyond. When you schedule with me, you can expect personalized, one-on-one, holistic care. I combine exercise, education, and hands-on manual therapy to guide you through injury rehabilitation and into restorative and preventative phases of care. Whether your goal is spending pain-free time with your family or returning to high-level workouts, I will collaborate with you to create a plan that helps you feel strong, confident, and supported while achieving long-term results. Outside of the clinic, I enjoy staying active, playing volleyball, exploring the outdoors around Minnesota, and spending quality time with friends and family.

Hi there! A little info for you to get to know me. I grew up in southern Minnesota, did my undergraduate at the University of Minnesota Duluth and finished at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities with my Doctorate in Physical Therapy. I love treating athletes and active adults for both orthopedic and pelvic health related concerns, using a blend of manual techniques and individualized exercise programs to help you achieve your goals. I am very passionate about staying active; outside of work you can find me coaching high school volleyball, playing sand and indoor volleyball, watching sports, going on walks and hiking with my dog, spending time reading and playing outside, and travelling as often as I can.

I completed my Doctorate of Physical Therapy at Missouri State University. I became a physical therapist after experiencing various injuries as a college athlete. My experiences as a patient have influenced my collaborative approach that empowers patients to reach their specific goals while keeping them doing what they love.
My core values of compassion and communication help form the basis of advocating for optimum patient care. I enjoy treating a wide variety of diagnoses including general weakness, pelvic health related concerns, and high level sports performance injuries. I am passionate about sharing my knowledge to motivate and promote healthy lifestyles in the patients that I work with, ranging from pediatric through geriatric populations. Outside of work, you can find me spending time with my fiancé and our two rescue pups, Bernie and Dack. I’m an avid marathon runner and foodie. I love to be outdoors, travel, play board games, and relax with friends and family.

Hello! My name is Claire, and I’m originally from Eau Claire, Wisconsin. I spent most of my life in Wisconsin, earning my undergraduate degree at the University of Wisconsin–Madison (go Badgers!) before moving to La Crosse to complete my Doctorate of Physical Therapy. After graduation, my fiancé (almost husband!) and I, along with our dog Woody (yes, from Toy Story), made the move to Saint Louis Park, Minnesota! Growing up, I was a competitive swimmer and runner, and this continues to be a big part of my life today. Outside of the clinic, I enjoy yoga, Pilates, water sports, long coffee walks, cooking, baking, reading, traveling, and exploring new restaurants around the Twin Cities. As a physical therapist, I am passionate about taking a holistic approach to ensure a successful recovery back to pain-free sport and/or activity. I will develop an individualized treatment plan for YOU and work alongside you to achieve your goals!

Hi! My name is Eliana! I love welcoming patients and helping make each visit clear, organized, and stress-free. Supporting people throughout their care is truly meaningful to me, and I enjoy getting to know everyone who walks through our doors. I’m passionate about health and wellness in my own life and enjoy weight lifting and staying active. I also love being outdoors hiking, wakeboarding, and wake surfing in the summer! I’m always looking for my next travel adventure. When I’m not on the go, you’ll usually find me reading or painting. I am excited to continue connecting with patients and being part of their journey.
