Chris Clayton lives in Southeast Queensland Australia, where he and his wife Maree operate their Structural Integration and movement therapy Clinic in the regional City of Toowoomba. Chris is a certified Anatomy Trains Structural Integrator and a movement therapist where he practices structural integration and implements Anatomy Trains for Performance (ATP) methods as the backbone of his movement therapy strategy.
Chris’ first love was and still is the martial arts, where he teaches for free and strives to be a perpetual student, a journey that has spanned 44 years or more so far. It was in his early years of training, where he saw his martial arts instructor successfully treat fellow students when they presented at class with basic injuries. Chris was immediately profoundly interested in what he saw, when he asked his teacher what he could do to follow the healer’s path, his teacher pointed him to anatomy, Chris has been following that advice ever since.
Chris has been in the coaching/training industry for over 40 years and holds Diplomas in Sport Development, Sport Coaching and Fitness. Since 2007, Chris has taught Sport Coaching and Fitness qualifications for the Australian College of Sport Development and YMCA Brisbane as an industry partner for over a decade before becoming an Anatomy Trains Certified Teacher. Over time, it became ever more apparent, that the best way to improve an athlete or client was to be able improve them where they were most vulnerable.
This led Chris to continue his learning and integrate manual therapy into his work, eventually resulting in Chris becoming an ATSI practitioner. Chris has authored and developed a new athletic performance and resilience course called Anatomy Trains for Performance (ATP). ATP is suitable for Trainers, Coaches, and individuals who are interested in training performance and fascial resilience. Chris teaches regularly in in Southeast Asia and Australia. Like most therapists, Chris just likes to help people feel better and most days he will be found happily working with his clients at his clinic
