Surf Therapy 

To many, the act of surfing seems like an unachievable activity, due to their inexperience or hesitation. To others, however, surfing has become a necessary form of treatment, a version of therapy for some individuals.

Surf Therapy is a recent development in psychotherapy treatments used to help people suffering from PTSD, addiction issues, life-threatening injuries, and many additional ailments. It works because the act of surfing not only connects the patient to nature but also allows them to remain mindful and present while on the board. Not to mention the fact that surfing is no easy activity, so the patients often feel a strong sense of accomplishment after catching a wave.

Next time you look at that the surfboard that’s been sitting in your garage the last 5 years, maybe take it to the beach and try to catch a wave or two.
