Why a Canadian Certified Pedorthist?
Canadian Certified Pedorthists are one of the few healthcare professionals educated in the assessment, design, fit, manufacture and modification of footwear and foot orthoses. A Canadian Certified Pedorthist has extensive training and experience in dealing with the biomechanics of the foot and in selecting appropriate footwear. In order to become a Canadian Certified Pedorthist, they have undergone a rigorous examination process testing their knowledge and biomechanics, disease, anatomy, orthoses fabrication and fitting as well as footwear function, design and modification. Canadian Certified Pedorthists work as part of a medical team and require a referral from a prescribing healthcare provider in order to provide treatment.
