my story

WHO AM I?

I am Antonio Palomo, an osteopath and structural integrator (SI) specializing in the fascial system.

I have a global vision of the body, where anatomy, structure, posture, and function come together with everything that makes us human and connects us.

My job is to educate about the importance of body awareness. Especially relevant and more immediate, is our relationship with the body we inhabit.

STEP BY STEP

Following in the footsteps of the family business, in the late nineties I finished my economics and business studies at the University of Granada; I also studied for a master’s degree in foreign trade at ICEX and another in the United Kingdom, which prepared me to take the reins of the family business.

It was a job that I loved, not so much because of the business work, but because it gave me the possibility of traveling to different parts of the world.

It was there that I learned from different cultures and began to value the richness of “mixing” and the greatness of integrating the values that you impregnate in contact with other people.

Business work is a task that requires a lot of logistics, responsibility, in short, a lot of weight, which I carried with pride, determination, and success. On one of my trips to Asia, I enrolled in a manual therapy course at the “Old Medicine Hospital” in Chiang Mai.

I had always been curious about manual therapies and there in that old hospital, a seed was planted, and where I began my journey to become a therapist.

the birth

After that course I always thought about how great it would be to have a job in which it only depended on me, on my own talent and intuition.

I continued with my business activities and with my therapies as a hobby; I took a chiromassage course and began to study Osteopathy as personal growth. Coinciding with a stage of change, I discovered surfing, a sport that, in addition to demanding good physical fitness, required very demanding attention and body education. I had to manage posture, balance, and coordination.

In short, I had to listen to my own body and dialogue with it in a language that I did not yet know but wanted to learn. This led me to terms such as “proprioception”, “interoception”, and “exteroception”, finally finding a place where everything has a meaning, the FASCIA.

Fascinated by this connective tissue, the fascia, that united and separated, and also contained all the words that until then I did not know what they meant and were so important for my surfing practice, I began to enter the world of the fascia in an almost obsessive way, and this world turned out to be a whole universe. The fascia and its study marked the next steps of my new working life.

I started taking different courses on fascial techniques and these took me to where the cradle of this technique was: structural integration also known as Rolfing, having the great fortune to train as a structural integrator and myofascial therapist with Tom Myers and his Anatomy Trains program ATSI, and with Sharon Wheeler and her ScarWork scar program.

WHAT DO I DO NOW?

I am a therapist at CEQO Osteopathy School in Granada where I have my practice and where I currently teach classes focused on the fascial system and scar treatment therapy.
