Helping Christchurch
Move Forward
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.
Originally from South Africa, Candice moved to New Zealand with 17 years of diverse physiotherapy experience — spanning hospital orthopaedic departments, sports medicine clinics, corporate wellness centres, gyms, and schools in Johannesburg. She immigrated to New Zealand five years ago and has made Christchurch her home.
Candice's particular passions are TMJ (jaw) conditions, sports injury rehabilitation and post-operative rehabilitation. Areas where the right hands-on care and guidance can make a life-changing difference.
