Elani Bykowski (Physiotherapist)

Fix Healthcare

Elani started her physiotherapy career in Edmonton after graduating from the University of Alberta in 2023. Elani’s academic journey began in her hometown at the University of Lethbridge where she completed Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Neuroscience. Her published research focussed on identifying prognostic biomarkers following traumatic brain injury and spinal cord injury present in the urine and blood to assist in informing rehabilitation strategies for these patient populations. Elani’s passion for physiotherapy stems from her lifelong love of sports and physical activity. She believes that physiotherapy treatment should be personalized to further your individual goals, manual therapy techniques facilitate greater participation in exercise, and that patients should leave their appointment with a greater understanding of their underlying anatomy. Elani has pursued post-graduate training in rehabilitation for runners through the Running Clinic as well as for shoulder injuries (taught by renowned researcher Lyn Watson), and is certified through Acupuncture Canada to provide needling. Additionally, she has completed further study in orthopaedics through the Canadian Physiotherapy Association (level 3 upper and lower body). Outside of the clinic, Elani races as a paratriathlon guide with Triathlon Canada and feels very grateful to call Victoria her new home where she can train year-round.
