A Pedorthist is a person who is trained in helping painful or debilitating conditions of the feet and legs by using, fabricating or modifying footwear and/or orthotic foot devices.

The College of Pedorthics of Canada (CPC) is the regulatory body that is responsible for certifying Pedorthists in Canada. To be eligible for certification, every candidate must be a member of the Pedorthic Association of Canada in good standing.

The CPC ensures that certified members are accountable for upholding the pedorthic profession to the highest standards of practice. The CPC institutes stringent guidelines that assure public safety and instill confidence in the services that Pedorthists provide.
