Dr. Elna Johnson (Formerly Dr. Muñoz) utilizes her knowledge gained by her numerous degrees, certifications, and professional experiences, to assess the way your body moves. She strongly believes that by focusing on biomechanics (human movement), you are able to determine the issues that are causing the issues.

This consequently almost never provides a solution to your issue(s). Her focus is to ensure that all parts of your body are moving optimally, in order to be able to perform pain-free and at its best.

Optimal Performance Clinic’s approach to care allows us to diagnose the cause of your injuries, and get you back to doing what you love to do.

She has had the privilege to work directly with and/or as a consult to teams in the CFL, NFL, NHL, UBC Football, UBC Track and Field, and Athletics Canada – our Canadian Track and Field Team.
