Dr. Elna Johnson is the founder of Optimal Performance Clinic and the architect of its clinical system — Diagnose. Treat. Perform.
With over 20 years of experience in elite sport and high-performance environments, she has served as integrated support team (IST) medical staff for the NFL, CFL, and Athletics Canada. Her work also extends to consulting for athletes across numerous sports at all levels worldwide, as well as the film and entertainment industry — supporting actors in physically demanding roles, stunt performers, and artists on major world tours.
Her expertise in musculoskeletal diagnosis, running biomechanics, and performance therapy was built working alongside coaches, strength staff, and medical teams at the highest level — where accurate diagnosis isn't optional, it's the job.
Her approach combines detailed biomechanical movement assessment with hands-on manual therapy — including Active Release Techniques — and individualized rehabilitation, selecting the strategy that fits each patient in front of her.
Dr. Johnson continues to treat athletes and complex cases directly, while leading the clinical framework used by every musculoskeletal clinician and performance therapist at OPC — so every patient, regardless of who they see, gets the same standard of precise diagnosis and performance-focused care.

For more complex or multi-area injuries that require additional time. Ideal for persistent issues or situations where a more in-depth session is needed to make meaningful progress.
Facturé àRéclamation d’accident de véhiculeICBC
For individuals injured in a motor vehicle accident. Includes a detailed history, comprehensive physical exam, musculoskeletal diagnosis, and completion of ICBC documentation. A clear treatment and recovery plan will be established, and treatment may begin if appropriate.
For existing patients dealing with a new injury or concern. We reassess what has changed, identify the underlying cause, and build a new, targeted plan so you can move forward efficiently.
This is where we figure it out. A comprehensive, full-body assessment to identify the true cause of your pain, injury, or performance limitation — not just treat symptoms. Most patients come to us after trying multiple providers without lasting results. We take a different approach by assessing how your body actually moves, where breakdowns occur, and why the issue developed. You’ll leave this session with: • A clear understanding of what’s going on • A targeted treatment approach • A plan to move forward with confidence When appropriate, treatment begins in this session so progress can start immediately.
DR. ELNA IS ACCEPTING NEW PATIENTS ON A CASE-BY-CASE BASIS. If you've been referred directly to Dr. Elna, are a high-performance athlete, or have been referred by a coach, sports team, or healthcare provider, please contact Dr. Elna directly at dr.johnson@optimalclinic.ca. Otherwise, please book your New Patient Assessment with Dr. Katrina Hombrebueno, Dr. Jake Hanna, or Dr. Natalie Blake. Our team works collaboratively, and if Dr. Elna's expertise would benefit your care, an internal referral or consultation will be arranged.
Reserved for targeted check-ins or specific progressions as directed by your clinician. Not intended for full treatment sessions — this is a brief, focused update within an existing plan.
This is not a quick, symptom-based visit. Each session is designed to address the full picture — combining hands-on treatment, movement correction, and rehabilitation to drive meaningful progress. Our longer sessions allow us to treat multiple contributing factors in one visit, reducing the need for frequent appointments. Focused, efficient care designed to get you better — and keep you there.
This appointment is to be booked by UBC track and field athletes only.
