Resilience Massage and Training
Myotherapy Remedial Massage and Kung-Fu Training
I am very proud to say that Chris Gauntlett is among the top two or three Wing Chun Kung-Fu students out of the thousands I have taught, over 30 years of martial arts teaching.
Chris has proven himself by competing successfully in a full‐contact Muay Thai fighting career, and in the security field, as well as in numerous exchanges with exponents of various martial arts disciplines.
With his complimentary knowledge in strength and conditioning training and remedial massage, Chris has evolved into a well-rounded professional who is highly capable and competent in his profession – he knows how the body works!
I am most proud of his evolution as a clinical myotherapist and martial arts instructor. I highly recommend him without hesitation.

Chris has been a friend and colleague of mine in the health and fitness industry for longer than I care to remember. I first started seeing Chris for clinical myotherapy therapy treatment many years ago when I was just beginning my career as a personal trainer. He has provided me with effective soft-tissue treatment for back pain, rotator cuff tendonitis, shin splints, and a host of other musculoskeletal issues. Today, I run a busy personal training business employing several trainers and Chris is still my go-to guy for all musculoskeletal issues and sports injuries for both myself and my clients.
Over the years, I’ve sent plenty of challenging cases Chris’ way, presenting with a broad range of soft tissue injuries and problems. Chris has never disappointed. He is an experienced and knowledgeable clinical myotherapist and functional strength trainer that gets results and has always been generous with his feedback and advice.
My standards are very high, and Chris is one of the few clinical myotherapists therapists and trainers that I trust to refer the clients of my own business to. I highly recommend him.

Put simply – Chris Gauntlett is a great personal trainer, clinical myotherapist and functional strength training coach. I have been training with him for over 4 years. Early on, I had very little understanding of personal training and was sceptical of the benefits of one – on – one personal training; how wrong I was!
Chris has been the major factor in improving my fitness over the last few years in a sustainable way and I am much the better for it!
Chris has a very unique approach to personal training that is informed by both his comprehensive theoretical knowledge and extensive practical experience competing as an elite athlete. His method is highly functional and technically precise. If you’re looking for an enjoyable personal training experience that will extend you both mentally and physically, then look no further!
One of his many skills is in getting his clients to experience the real thrill and enjoyment of boxing / muay thai / kick boxing as a tool, primarily to improve fitness but very importantly as a physical (and psychological!?) outlet that many of us need.
Don’t hesitate – arrange a time to see Chris as soon as possible.

I always look forward to my fortnightly clinical myotherapy session with Chris – it’s the perfect combination of an essential remedial massage treatment and a relaxing indulgence.
We always start the session with an overview of what I need and what is and isn’t working for me then Chris includes additional exercises and stretches to do at home for added results.
I have ongoing chronic lower back pain and Chris has helped me enormously with this. Previously I experienced frequent muscle spasms despite regular treatment from other practitioners, these are now very rare occurrences.
Chris is highly professional and knowlegeable clinical myotherapist and I have no hesitation recommending him to anyone looking for the many benefits of his knowledge and experience in a relaxing and secure environment.

When my 11 year old daughter (in fight pose below) had one term left to prepare for her black belt examination in Taekwondo, I immediately thought of asking Chris for help.
He came up with a great 10 week functional strength training plan which focussed on her core strength and on refining her technical skills. She proudly achieved her black belt, which sadly many others did not.
I credit Chris’s assistance, through his physical and mental training methods, for her level of success. And after the 10 week course, she requested to continue boxing training with Chris on a regular basis, which she still enjoys today.

Everyone I recommend Chris to, thanks me effusively for the next twelve months after their first visit! He is an exceptionally knowledgeable and experienced clinical myotherapist.

Chris is the most knowledgeable personal trainer and clinical myotherapist that I’ve ever come across in my professional fighting career. He has changed the way my body feels with functional strength training and has dramatically improved a debilitating shoulder injury that was affecting my fight training and performance. I have total faith in him as a clinical myotherapist and personal trainer. I love every session!
Lucy Payne, WBC Women’s World Muay Thai Champion
Chris is a consummate professional who is highly skilled and trained in clinical myotherapist. His knowledge of sports injuries, the body, and how it functions is outstanding. I’ve been a client of Chris’ for many years and he has treated many ailments from shoulder, neck and back pain to now helping me recover from a ruptured Achilles. Chris has a relaxed and engaging manner, he takes the time to understand your issues and provides treatment that is effective. Nothing is ever rushed. He also provides you with exercises and tips to help maintain your body between treatments. I can highly recommend Chris’ services as a clinical myotherapist and personal trainer.

Chris is a magician! Having worked in an office environment for far too long, I used to constantly suffer from back ache, neck pain and general muscle tension problems. Chris was able to relieve the pain in one or two sessions of clinical myotherapy and took an holistic approach to lifestyle, ensuring that I now rarely suffer from these ailments! Nowadays, I use Chris to sort out strains from training and the occasional niggling injury. He is by far the best clinical myotherapist I have ever found!
