“Oh that men would give thanks to the LORD for His goodness, And for His wonderful works to the children of men!”

Psalm 107:8

Our Story

Walking and Wheeling was launched in October of 2005 by Peter Jacques, PT to meet the orthotic needs of children in Northeast Wisconsin who were Wisconsin Medicaid recipients. Since 2005 we have expanded to serve the needs of children for orthotics, mobility and positioning throughout the entire state of Wisconsin. We started with just one child for one ankle foot orthotic, and now serve over 1000 different children per year with over a 100 different products, and services. We also meet the rehab equipment needs of many schools and clinics. Peter began the business in a small office in his home, and used his garage to store equipment. He now operates the business in a kid friendly, 1800 square foot facility. Walking and Wheeling has served children and their families in the family’s home, in daycares, schools, medical clinics, therapy facilities, and at our main office location. Our patients and clients come from a vast variety of backgrounds, ethnicities, and diagnoses.

Our Vision

To glorify God by positively impacting children with special needs and their families.

Our Mission

To “Get kids moving”. We give thanks and glory to God for all He has done for this business as we seek to represent our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Our Values

Compassion

We are sensitive to the feelings, needs, and struggles of each child and strive to meet their individual needs.

Respect

We do not see our patients as children with disabilities, but as children with abilities to overcome their own personal challenges.

Integrity

It is our goal to give the most honest and fair answer to every question. We don’t compromise our service just for a sale.

Service

It is our goal to bring the most comprehensive, up to date, and friendly care possible, allowing customers to make the best choices for their child.

Thankfulness

There is opportunity in every situation for positivity. The challenges of any disability are far outweighed by the joy each child brings to us each day.

“And he took him by the right hand and lifted him up, and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength. So he, leaping up, stood and walked and entered the temple with them—walking, leaping, and praising God. And all the people saw him walking and praising God.”

Acts 3:7-9

“Let it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by Him this man stands here before you whole.”

Acts 4:10

"Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved."

Acts 4:12
