Chris Statham

Chris has over 30 years’ experience as a sports therapist and endurance coach.
Originally from Manchester and now based in County Donegal on Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Way, his specialism is helping clients improve performance, recovery and resilience through functional breathing.
Chris delivers in-person 1:1 and group breathing sessions, supporting everyone from those looking to breathe better day-to-day through to athletes aiming to enhance sports performance.
As a triathlete, swim coach and cold-water therapist, Chris brings real-world endurance experience into his coaching and regularly applies Oxygen Advantage breathing techniques with his clients to support training and performance goals.
Chris also integrates nervous system down-regulation into his sports massage therapy work, helping the body relax and respond more effectively to treatment.
Outside of his work, Chris loves swimming, surfing and spending time outdoors, making the most of the fresh Atlantic air and the natural landscape of Donegal. He believes time spent outdoors is essential for wellbeing and feels privileged to live and work in such a unique and beautiful environment.
