Does skateboarding have the ability to heal brains from past trauma? The guys at Push to Heal think so, and we are OBSESSED with their research.
Following the neurosequential model from ChildTrauma Academy, the Push To Heal film explores the connections between skateboarding and neuroscience, highlighting skateboarding as an activity that can heal the human brain from past trauma, whilst contributing to not only our capacity for learning new skills, but also for coping with stress whilst also helping to improve our social cognition.
“Skateboarding is full of healthy sensory stimuli – everything from vibrations through your feet to the specific sound the pop of the tail or each grind and slide makes”
Joel Pippus – ‘Push to Heal’ project, Hull Services
