We carefully choose supportive chairs to help with posture—but our feet, the true foundation of our body, are often overlooked. Healthy feet keep us balanced, absorb impact, and help us move efficiently. But when something goes wrong, pain can quickly spread to the knees, hips, and lower back, affecting everyday life.
Why Foot Problems Happen
Foot issues can stem from many sources: genetics, conditions like diabetes or arthritis, overuse, injuries, or poorly fitted footwear. Many people try to “push through” the pain, but untreated foot problems can lead to long-term discomfort and reduced mobility.
How Canadian Certified Pedorthists Help
Canadian Certified Pedorthists (C. Ped (C)s) specialize in how the feet and lower extremity function. With advanced training in biomechanics, they are skilled in:
- Assessing gait and movement patterns
- Creating custom foot orthotics
- Recommending and modifying footwear
- Providing compression and bracing solutions
- They work with healthcare professionals to deliver personalized, effective care
