Most people are aware that massage therapy is great at relaxing you, but most don’t know that massage therapy can be used in rehabilitation and recovery. The students in TTC’s Massage Therapy Program have learned that massage therapy expedites recovery times and benefits athletes. In October 2011, TTC’s Massage Therapy Student Organization started working with the College of Charleston Sports Medicine Department to help athletes rehab quicker and get them back to their sports sooner, with increased performance.

Imagine riding a horse, but not just any horse. You have trained this horse so well that you envision receiving recognition for what you have achieved. This is what many Lowcountry horseback riders now have the opportunity to do, thanks to the Tall Pines Horse Show Circuit. Since their first show, Tall Pines has been drawing a huge horse enthusiastic crowd, and they are one of the very few show circuits in the area.

Why fishing? South Carolinians are blessed with a wonderfully tangled web of water and land. Fish is a mainstay in our culture, recipes, tourism and economy. Charleston offers a great variety of fish, temperate weather, and numerous bodies of water. Fortunately, fishing is inexpensive, local, and without a dress code. Charleston’s waterways never close up shop. And fishing can be whatever you want it to be, casual or competitive, enjoyed individually or with your friends and family.  Did I mention it is for women too? Men can no longer keep the fun all to themselves. Fishing is for everyone.

This fall, we as a nation celebrated the 10th anniversary of the event that resulted in a surge of national pride and unity. And nothing symbolizes that unity to me more than football.
