Student Spotlight
NMSA Student Spotlight: David Gallina
Bastyr University student awarded “Student of the Year” at International Neurology Conference
David Gallina was recognized as the 2017 Student of the Year by the International Association of Functional Neurology and Rehabilitation at the 7th annual conference this past November. He is the co-founder of Hybrid Movement Practice, a company dedicated to combining movement education with functional neurology. David is a naturopathic medical student at Bastyr University in Seattle, Washington. His fascination of circus arts and dance led to his current study and practice of “general human movement” under The Ido Portal Method. He has been accepted to teach his work at Harvard Medical School at the “Movement and Cognition” conference in summer 2018.
