Rick Merriam (@rickmerriam)
Therapist, Teacher, and Small Business Owner in Dallas, Texas
In 1994, I completed a 600-hour Massage Therapy Program at The Connecticut Center for Massage Therapy.
From 2005 to 2009, I worked as a sports massage therapist at ESPN. My primary role was to work with sports- and work-related injuries in their sports performance facility.
Over the last few years, I have been quoted in Runner’s World UK, Massage Therapy & Bodywork, Massage Magazine, IDEA Fitness Journal, Massage & Fitness Magazine, and The Guardian Liberty Voice.
I have also served as an applied biomechanics consultant for the fitness staff at Canyon Ranch, The Greenbrier, and ESPN.
I have held a license to practice massage therapy for over 25 years. For the first 18 years of my career, I was a nationally certified personal trainer. During that time, I completed thousands of one-on-one personal training sessions. I went on to teach biomechanics to personal trainers, group exercise instructors, and physical therapists throughout New England.
In 2009, my wife and I moved to Dallas, Texas. Not too long after we arrived in the state that we now call home, I found meaningful work at Luke’s Locker - a family-owned specialty running shoe store.
From 2009 - 2018, I had the enormous pleasure of teaching applied anatomy and kinesiology at Parker University in Dallas.
