Dr. Richard Ulm is a chiropractor who developed his interest in the human body and it’s physical capabilities as an athlete. He studied English, philosophy and political science at Ashland University while training in track and field under the guidance of now 4 time Olympian, Jud Logan.
He is a former collegiate track and field coach who competed in the 2004 Olympic Trials in Sacramento, California. Following the Olympic Trials he coached at New Mexico State University where he was both a strength and conditioning coach as well as the head throwing coach.
He completed a doctorate of chiropractic in 2008 at National University of Health Sciences. National University is an evidence-based institution for Chiropractic Physicians. While at National, he focused his efforts on biomechanics, anatomy, orthopedics, gait assessment and rehabilitation.
In 2011, Dr. Ulm opened Columbus Chiropractic & Rehabilitation Center (CCRC). To ensure that he is providing the best, most cutting edge care to his patients, he has continued to study multiple techniques and approaches from around the world. He is now full body certified in Active Release Technique (perhaps the best soft tissue technique in the world); he became one of only 177 Chiropractic Physicians in the world certified in the McKenzie Method (traditionally a certification reserved for physical therapists); he became a certified therapist of Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization by the Prague School of Rehabilitation (regarded by many as the most cutting edge rehab approach in the world). Dr. Ulm blends all of these techniques to provide the most effective and patient-specific care he can to the patients and athletes with whom he works.
He teaches rehabilitation and strength training to medical professionals, personal trainers and strength coaches all over the world. He is a International instructor of DNS for the Prague School of Rehabilitation; he is an instructor for the Motion Palpation Institute and is the founder and lead instructor for Athlete Enhancement, an education platform where Dr. Ulm is able to take his clinical experience and knowledge and apply it to the performance industry, helping coaches better train their athletes.
