Surf therapy is proving to be a powerful treatment for veterans struggling with PTSD and other mental health challenges. Studies show participants experience a 40% reduction in symptoms after just six weeks.
"There's something healing about being in the ocean," said a program founder. "The focus required to surf, combined with the physical activity and community, creates real change."
The success has led to VA hospitals partnering with surf organizations to offer the therapy as a standard treatment option for veterans.
