Life in Wauwatosa is full of reasons to get up and move—whether you’re strolling through the Oak Leaf Trail, cheering on the kids at Hart Park, or simply shoveling snow after one of our classic Wisconsin winters.

Maybe you’ve noticed a nagging ache after a long day at your desk, or sharp pain in your lower back when you bend down to pick up the kids.
