Spc. Emily Robinson throws a quick shaka before grabbing her board and heading into the water. She uses surf therapy to help heal from a bad back injury.

Military soldiers took to the water this past weekend to heal both physical and emotional wounds. Surf therapy is part of a program that helps wounded warriors begin the road to recovery. HPR’s Molly Solomon spent some time on the shores of Oahu and has this report.
