Understanding Pedorthists
A pedorthist is a professional who specializes in foot and lower limb care. They are skilled in assessing, creating, and fitting custom foot orthotics, as well as adjusting footwear to ensure a proper fit.
According to the Pedorthic Association of Canada, “Canadian Certified Pedorthists – C. Ped (C) – are experts in custom foot orthotics and orthopedic shoes. They have in-depth training in the anatomy and function of the lower limbs and joints.”
These specialists are certified by the College of Pedorthics of Canada. This certification ensures they adhere to high standards, including ongoing training and ethical practices.
