If your knee gives out on a walk through Fish Creek Park, or your feet ache every morning before you even leave the house — you are not alone. Foot and knee pain has a way of quietly taking over the things you enjoy.
Whether you are an athlete, a shift worker on your feet all day, or someone managing a long-term knee condition, a certified pedorthist can help you find a solution that fits your life.
At Pro Motion Calgary, Jared Langille , our Canadian Certified Pedorthist (C.Ped(C)), provides pedorthic assessments, custom foot orthotics, custom-fitted knee braces, and compression wear — all under one roof in South Calgary.
A pedorthist is a trained healthcare professional who specializes in the assessment, design, fitting, and modification of devices that support the foot, ankle, and lower limbs. That includes custom foot orthotics, knee braces, and compression garments.
Pedorthists look beyond just the foot. They assess how your whole lower body moves — your gait, your alignment, and how forces travel up through your ankles, knees, and hips. When something is off at the foot level, it can cause a chain reaction of pain all the way up to your lower back. A proper pedorthic assessment gets to the root of that problem.
In Canada, certified pedorthists hold the designation C.Ped(C) and are regulated through the College of Pedorthics of Canada.
Jared is always looking to advance his knowledge to benefit patient outcomes, and he takes time to manufacture and modify orthotics and footwear directly — meaning your devices get hands-on attention at every stage of the process.
Custom foot orthotics are prescription insoles built specifically for the shape of your foot, your activity level, and your condition. They are not the generic insoles found at a drugstore — these are devices designed around your individual biomechanics.
Jared uses 3D scanning technology to capture the shape of your foot and manufactures and modifies orthotics directly. Your assessment includes a full evaluation of your gait and lower limb function so the right solution can be matched to your needs.
Jared fits a full range of custom knee braces for ligament injuries, osteoarthritis, and patella tracking issues. These are custom-measured and professionally fitted devices — not off-the-shelf sleeves.
If you have experienced an ACL, MCL, PCL, or LCL injury — from sport, a fall, or an accident — a custom ligament brace provides external stability to the knee during healing and return to activity.
Available ligament brace options include:
Unloading (also called offloading) braces are designed for people with knee osteoarthritis. When cartilage wears down — most commonly on the inside of the knee — daily movement becomes painful. An unloading brace applies a corrective force to shift weight away from the affected area, reducing pain and supporting mobility.
Available unloading brace options include:
For patella tracking issues, mild instability, or general knee support during activity, Jared also fits:
Medical-grade compression garments are used for circulation concerns, varicose veins, lymphedema, leg swelling, long hours on your feet, and lower limb recovery. Fit and compression level both matter — the wrong garment can be ineffective or uncomfortable. Jared fits compression wear from the Medi brand across a range of compression levels and styles to match your specific situation.
You do not need to be recovering from a serious injury to benefit from pedorthic care. People visit Jared for a wide range of reasons, including:
Your first visit begins with a thorough conversation about your history, pain, lifestyle, and goals. Jared will assess your posture, alignment, and gait and examine the affected area in detail. There is no rushing — the assessment exists so that whatever device or approach is recommended actually fits your situation.
For custom foot orthotics, a 3D scan captures the precise shape of your foot. For knee braces, Jared takes detailed measurements to ensure a proper custom fit from the start.
Some devices are available at the clinic. Custom orthotics and braces are manufactured to your specifications and fitted at a follow-up appointment, where Jared makes any adjustments needed for comfort and function.
Your care does not stop at the fitting. Jared books follow-up visits to review how your device is performing and make any modifications as your body adapts. Orthotics and braces are adjusted over time — that follow-up is part of the process, not an extra.
Jared does not just fit pre-made devices. He manufactures and modifies orthotics and footwear directly, meaning adjustments are handled with clinical precision and a genuine understanding of how the device was built.
Pro Motion is a multidisciplinary health clinic. If your knee issue also needs physiotherapy, or your foot pain connects to a broader movement problem, you do not need to book at a different clinic and start the conversation over again. Jared works alongside physiotherapists, chiropractors , massage therapists , acupuncturists , osteopaths , and other practitioners in the same building. Your care stays coordinated.
Before becoming a certified pedorthist, Jared worked as a kinesiologist and brace fitter. That practical, hands-on experience — combined with his Kinesiology degree and formal pedorthic training at Western University — means knee brace fittings are approached with both the clinical knowledge and the real-world fitting experience that makes a difference.
The clinic is open Monday through Thursday until 8:00 PM, Fridays until 6:00 PM, and Saturdays until 3:15 PM — making it easier to get seen without disrupting your schedule.

A pedorthist assesses the lower limbs — primarily the foot, ankle, and knee — and provides custom devices like foot orthotics, knee braces, and compression garments to support function, reduce pain, and aid recovery. They evaluate how you move and build a plan around your specific needs, condition, and goals.
No referral is needed to book an appointment and be assessed. However, most insurance plans require a physician’s prescription in order to reimburse pedorthic devices like custom orthotics or knee braces. It is worth confirming the requirements of your specific plan with your insurance provider before your appointment.
Store-bought insoles are produced for a generic foot shape. Custom orthotics are built specifically for your foot, assessed and manufactured based on a full clinical evaluation and 3D scan. They address the functional issues contributing to your pain rather than simply adding cushioning underfoot.
Timelines vary depending on the device and the manufacturing process involved. Jared will give you a specific timeline after your assessment so you know exactly what to expect.
Many extended health insurance plans in Alberta include coverage for custom foot orthotics, knee braces, and compression garments. Coverage amounts and conditions vary by plan. A physician’s prescription and an itemized invoice are typically required for reimbursement. We recommend checking with your insurer ahead of your appointment, and our team can assist with the direct billing process where applicable.
Unloading knee braces are specifically designed to reduce the joint pressure associated with knee osteoarthritis. By shifting the load away from the worn area of the knee, these braces can support more comfortable daily movement. Jared will assess your knee and advise whether a brace is appropriate for your situation and what type would work best.
A ligament brace is designed to stabilize a knee with an injured or damaged ligament — such as the ACL or MCL — by controlling unwanted movement during activity. An unloading brace is designed for osteoarthritis, gently realigning the knee to reduce pressure on worn cartilage. These are different devices for different conditions. Jared will assess your knee and recommend the right type based on what is actually going on.
Compression garments are available in different levels — measured in mmHg — depending on the severity of your condition and what the garment needs to achieve. Lower compression levels (20–30 mmHg) are commonly used for general circulation support, mild swelling, and everyday wear. Higher levels (30–40 mmHg) are typically used for more pronounced circulation issues or as directed by a healthcare provider. Jared will assess your situation and recommend the appropriate level and garment style for your needs.
Not at all. While compression garments are commonly used for circulation issues, varicose veins, and post-surgical recovery, they are also used by people who spend long hours standing or walking at work, those experiencing leg swelling, and active individuals supporting lower limb recovery after training or injury.
Whether you are dealing with foot pain, a knee injury, or leg swelling — Jared is here to assess your situation and find a device-based solution that supports your recovery and your day-to-day life. Call (403) 452-5450 today!
