The María Cano University Foundation Takes the Spotlight in Rigoberto Urán’s Farewell Giro
- 5 noviembre, 2024

The María Cano University Foundation was part of the recovery team for the cyclists participating in the @giroderigo event. Over 50 of our physiotherapists played a key role, providing preparatory massages on Saturday and recovery massages on Sunday, following the farewell race of the renowned Antioquian cyclist Rigoberto Urán. This event served as an excellent opportunity for our professionals to continue consolidating their work and profession in various sports settings at the national level, as the race gathered more than 10,000 cyclists in Colombia.
In addition to these two days, the entire Faculty of Health Sciences, along with its different programs and directors, was present at this massive city event, which attracted a large number of cycling enthusiasts. Even though they did not participate as athletes, attendees had the chance to acquire products and connect with María Cano as an educational institution for those interested in the training offered by the Fundación Universitaria María Cano in Physiotherapy. This training is essential for future physiotherapists, many of whom play a leading role in supporting and advising athletes on injury prevention, improving their sports technique, and, of course, recovering from injuries.
