Dra. Carolina Roncancio Garzón

I am a physician and surgeon from Universidad del Rosario, with postgraduate studies in structural and visceral Osteopathy at the Escuela Osteopática Integral Colombiana, where my interest and passion for this discipline grew. I deepened my knowledge through a Master's in Alternative Medicine, specializing in Osteopathy and Chiropractic, complemented by myofascial release courses and advanced training with Dr. Guy Dupiellet, Professor of Osteopathy at the University of Paris Nord. This is how I provide a comprehensive approach to patients, with a kind, professional, and ethical demeanor; aiming to alleviate discomfort and functional limitations, correcting identified issues, and promoting healthy lifestyle and postural habits.

Osteopathy is a branch of alternative medicine, a medical science that aims to restore normal physiological movement through manual techniques, fostering well-being and the body's natural healing responses, releasing each tissue and guiding it towards balance. It is a safe practice, suitable for patients from 0 to 100 years old. I conduct a general medical and osteopathic assessment (patients should attend in short shorts for men, an unfastening bra and short shorts for women, and a diaper for children under 1 year old); I inquire about the triggering factors of the condition and any previous studies (if available).

Each session lasts 45-50 minutes and is ideally performed once or twice a week.

Additionally, 5 sessions are often beneficial to achieve changes and symptom improvement. This is due to the chronicity and duration of the condition, which can cause tissues to develop memory and adapt to changes.

Therefore, consistency in treatment is important, as it helps the body activate its natural healing signals and break the cycle of inflammation that can lead to recurring discomfort.
