Meet Your Therapist – Chris STatham
Hi, I’m Chris – a dedicated sports therapist and fitness professional with a passion for helping people feel and move better. Originally from Manchester, UK, where I met my wife – a proud Ballyshannon native. That connection brought me to this beautiful part of the world over 25 years ago. Over the years, we’d visit regularly and every trip made it feel more and more like home. I’m now incredibly lucky to call Ballyshannon my permanent base, right on the stunning Wild Atlantic Way. With nearly 30 years of experience as a personal fitness trainer and 20 years as a sports therapist, I’ve helped people from all backgrounds – from weekend warriors to elite athletes. A big part of my work has been coaching and treating triathletes, so whether you’re pushing through a training block, recovering post-race or managing those niggling overuse injuries, I’ve got your back (literally!). Back in York, I ran my own gym and sports massage clinic, specialising in a wide range of manual therapy techniques including Sports Massage, Myofascial Decompression (MFD), Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilisation (IASTM) and Trigger Point Therapy. Now based in Ballyshannon, I’m excited to bring that experience to a community that’s always felt like a second home. I understand how tight-knit and proud this town is and I feel truly honoured to be part of it. I’m here not just to work, but to contribute, connect and support the health and wellness of our local community and beyond.
