About Footjax
Located in Calgary, AB, Footjax is dedicated to one simple mission: helping people stay active on their feet. Founded by Certified Pedorthist and Athletic Therapist Lee MacKenzie, the clinic blends biomechanical expertise with a genuine passion for sport, serving everyone from elite triathletes to weekend warriors and everyday Calgarians. Footjax specializes in Custom Orthotics, Shockwave Therapy, and Massage Therapy, with a treatment philosophy centered on addressing the root biomechanical causes of foot and lower limb pain rather than just masking symptoms. Each custom orthotic is built as part of a complete 'external supporting system,' carefully assessed and fitted to match an individual's gait, footwear, and activity goals. Shockwave therapy is used to accelerate healing in stubborn soft tissue injuries, while massage therapy supports recovery, flexibility, and overall movement quality. What sets Footjax apart is its deep understanding of athletic movement combined with hands-on clinical care—patients benefit from a team that not only treats injuries but genuinely lives an active lifestyle. Whether you're training for a half Ironman or simply want to walk pain-free, Footjax is committed to keeping you moving injury-free.

Frequently Asked Questions — Footjax
Does Footjax offer direct billing to insurance?
Footjax works with many extended health benefit plans and can help you understand your coverage for orthotics, massage therapy, and other services. We recommend contacting our clinic ahead of your appointment to confirm your specific plan's direct billing options and coverage details.
Do I need a doctor's referral to book an appointment?
In most cases, a physician's referral is not required to book an assessment at Footjax for massage therapy, shockwave therapy, or a custom orthotics consultation. However, some insurance providers require a referral for reimbursement, so it's a good idea to check with your provider beforehand.
What types of injuries and conditions does Footjax treat?
Footjax treats a wide range of foot and lower limb conditions, including plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, running-related injuries, shin splints, and general biomechanical imbalances that affect gait and performance. The clinic works with both elite athletes and everyday individuals looking to stay active and pain-free.
What should I expect during my first appointment?
Your first visit typically includes a thorough orthotic or biomechanical assessment, a discussion of your activity level, footwear, and any pain or injury history, and a review of treatment options tailored to your goals. For orthotics specifically, this includes gait analysis to determine the right support for your feet.
How are Footjax's custom orthotics made and fitted?
Footjax orthotics are custom-made based on a detailed assessment of your foot structure, gait, and lower limb biomechanics, ensuring the device works as part of a complete external supporting system. Each pair is individually crafted to support how you move, helping you run stronger, longer, and injury-free.
