Fundación Universitaria María Cano played an active role in providing post-race physiotherapy support during Giro de Rigo 2026, held on November 1 at Centro de Eventos Valle del Pacífico, in Valle del Cauca. Students and graduates from different campuses took part in recovery activities, putting their knowledge into practice to support athletes’ well-being.

After the race, the physiotherapy team provided care through manual techniques aimed at promoting muscle relaxation, relieving tension, and supporting physical recovery after intense exertion. These interventions offered cyclists an opportunity to receive post-race care while highlighting the importance of physiotherapy in sports and muscle recovery.

The event also provided a valuable learning experience for students and graduates, who were able to apply their knowledge in a major sporting event, strengthen their professional skills, and respond to athletes’ needs in a real-world setting.

Through this experience, María Cano reaffirms its commitment to hands-on education, social engagement, and people’s well-being, while showcasing the contribution of physiotherapy to sports and healthcare. Once again, academic knowledge was put into action to support those who make movement and physical activity their passion.
