the students were visiting the Gulf University for Science and
Technology (GUST).
Dr. Elgelid presents at meeting
Dr. Staffan Elgelid, Physical Therapy,
presented "Gait from a

perspective, paying particular attention to awareness of gait, and
then reviewed options to alter gait, focusing on rehabilitation and
athletic performance. Elgelid is a practitioner of the Feldenkrais
Method of somatic education, a form of mind-body development
focusing on the relationship of movement and thought.
