PFA originated when a group was organized in USA in 1958 which developed many of our patient treatments, literature and published studies that are still used today. PFA Canada is proud to be an affiliate of this distinguished group of professionals who are respected continue to push the profession forward in their education, always willing to share their knowledge with other professionals.

In order to put our patients’ interests first, PFA Canada ensures our certified pedorthists meet Canadian Standards, become Canadian Certified Pedorthists and are granted a Canadian Pedorthic Licence (CPL).

There are three types of Pedorthists – C.Ped, BOCPD (board certified) and C.Ped.(C).  C.PED and BOCPD are internationally recognized designations and a welcomed industry around the world. 

Our association welcomes all of these Pedorthists who are certified, acknowledging that all are equally qualified.
