I cannot recommend Elna Johnson & the team at Optimal Performance more. I have seen chiropractors, physios, massage therapists, you name it, for different issues over the years and no one has ever compared to Elna. From knee issues from long distance running, back issues postpartum from hauling around car seats and heavy kids, to anything else that has popped up. I recommend her to everyone. She is able to identify the problem quickly and precisely and I have yet to walk out of a session without feeling relief from whatever brought me in. She's a wizard. My husband has seen Katrina on her team when Elna wasn't available and said she was wonderful as well. I have learned that Optimal Performance should always be my first stop.

I couldn’t recommend Dr Elna more. I have seen many medical professionals in my lifetime and she is definitely top of the list. She is concise , she listens and makes you feel heard, is happy to answer any an all questions and is very good at what she does. She’s also has some great stories! I am truly thankful for all the help she has given me over the years.

I cannot begin to express how amazing this place is. I have seen Dr. Elna Johnson for a few years, my son sees Katrina, and my husband sees Elna. They have been instrumental to our care and recovery from injuries - and to preventing further injuries! They are so knowledgeable, friendly, helpful, responsive, and understanding. They provide practical advice and support. Feel so grateful to have found them that my family is in their care!

It's hard to put into words what Elna and Katrina's care has done for me. I started seeing Elna over 2 years ago when I moved to Vancouver due to pain I experience with Lupus. I see Elna on a monthly basis and Katrina when Elna is away or booked up. They both take time to understand what pain/discomfort I'm experiencing and use active release therapy to significantly reduce the tightness I feel. While it's common with Lupus to have to see someone frequently for maintenance, I know others who I've referred who have experienced great help in just a few visits without having to frequently return. The expertise and understanding of the body they both bring is incredible, and I always know I can trust their assessments of what is causing pain/discomfort and trust they'll be able to help. I genuinely don't know how I would function without Elna and Katrina's care. I couldn't recommend them enough, and will forever be grateful for how they enable me to continue to live an active and comfortable life!!!

I have relied upon the skill, expertise and compassion of Elna Johnson to treat numerous conditions for over a decade. She has my complete trust and is always my first call when injured. Elna’s treated my torn ligaments, frozen shoulder and an extremely painful pinched femoral nerve (twice) - always going the extra mile to let me know she cares deeply for her patients - both during treatment and rehabilitation.
