Meet Dr. April Graham, ND

Naturopathic Doctor, ACSM Certified Exercise Physiologist, and Certified Fascial Manipulation® Specialist 

I will never forget my last serious mountain bike race when I was 31 years old. 

I was racing, in tears, on a flat surface in my easiest gear because it felt like there was a knife in my back. It was that day that I decided that my own wellbeing was more important than climbing the pro ranks. 

This happened to be a few weeks after my father died of colon cancer at the age of 59. Pain and inflammation were my body's response to stress and grief, which ultimately allowed me to rest and reflect on what was important in life.

This is what led me to naturopathic medical school, where I began to learn how the body breaks down, how it heals, and how to prevent disease. I learned to apply Fascial Manipulation® - the Stecco® Method with the Rev6 movement system. I also dove deep into integrative genetics. These tools helped heal my spine and become in the best shape of my life, and I soon saw that my bike racing derailment generated a new way for me to help others. 

Now, I combine my knowledge of medicine, integrative genetics, exercise physiology, and movement to assist my patients in restoring their bodies, whether it be weight loss, getting blood sugars balanced, improving muscle tone or bone density, or healing from chronic injuries.  

I believe that the body is designed to heal—we simply need to have the right knowledge, strategy, and support. 

When you take agency over your health, you don’t just feel better in your body, you have the tools to keep it that way. At Blue Heron Physical Medicine, I partner with you to uncover and remove your unique barriers to a healthy, vibrant life.
