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.
