Candice Peters founded Way Forward Physio out of a genuine passion for helping the Christchurch kiritaki find a successful and sustainable path through injury and pain — on their own terms, at their own pace.

She immigrated to New Zealand five years ago and has made Christchurch her home.
Candice's particular passions are sports injury rehabilitation and TMJ (jaw) conditions — two areas where the right hands-on care and guidance can make a life-changing difference.
