Bought as a gift. It was very much liked. Nice cards. Good quality.

These come in a standard 'pack of cards ' size so are handy to just pop in a bag or coat pocket . Was not sure what to expect .Each card has a set of either breathing exercises or simple physical exercises etc . If you suffer from stress or anxiety or just simple wat to wind down then these cards will be good for you IF you actually use them . Most of the exercises seem to take a fairly short time between 2 to 5 mins so can be done during a break at work for example. Nice thick card and clear writing . have enjoyed doing some of the exercises so far and will work my way though . Or you could just pick random one as and when you need to . Price is fair for these I think and will come in very useful

I spend a lot of time in the house and work on a computer. I also look after my mother who is 96, so I don't get out much and don't have time to do exercise. I know I should do more, but there are just not enough hours in the day. I do often get very stressed and anxious, and when I saw these cards I thought I would try them out. I am so pleased I did. They are very handy - about the size of large playing cards, and there are 42 simple exercises in the pack. All the exercises are easily done at home and in a few minutes, so there is no excuse not to do something during the day. I have just got these, and rather than choose a particular exercise, I tend to shuffle the pack, as I would do with a pack of cards, and pick out a couple and do them when I get a few spare minutes during the day. They definitely help to take my mind away from work, and some of them are simple enough for even my mother to do while she is seated in a chair. Such a good idea for people who don't have time to do exercise. I know there are similar exercises online, but to be honest, after spending most of my day at my computer I just want to escape the internet when I have finished work, and so physical cards work really well for me.

I did not realise these were physical therapy cards and so I am unable to use them. or review them honestly. I am disabled. I do not do pilates nor yoga.

There is so much around right now about somatic exercise so I thought I would give these cards a try. There 42 cards in all, each with a different exercise affecting the release of tension in a specific part of the body. They are larger in size than a regular pack of playing cards, but they do have a lot more information to give. Rather than doing a whole quick exercise regime the idea is that you can choose the exercises to tailor your current physical situation and available time. I wasn't sure how to use these, but decided depending on my time, I would shuffle and choose randomly from the pack 3,4 or 5 cards commit to those exercises for the day. This works for me. The cards give a description of each exercise and how to do it and for how many repetitions. I can see the value in these; sometimes you have limited time for exercise and can't decide how best to spend it, and before you've made a decision, the time has all gone. Commit to however you want to use them and you will benefit from the effort and time spent. Great idea and would recommend.

I had been talking to my counsellor about somatic therapy when these popped up so I was very delighted to be able to try them. I have CPTSD and have been trying to to do more to relieve the stress, triggers, fight, flight responses but often I get caught in a whirlwind of panic which I struggle to get out of. These cards are a good size, and the paper quality is much better than I anticipated. The exercise is written on one side and the instructions on the other side. I shuffle the cards, take a few deep breaths and pick one. I will admit the harder ones I’m bypassing until I find an easy one as my goal at the moment is to slow my breathing down and start coping. I’ve been using them for a week now and I do like how easily they are to use and the calming affect some of the exercises have. In my opinion they are worth trying.

Returned. Most of the cards were visualization or reflecting exercises and the more body based practices were basically just individual poses from sun salutations and a couple of other very basic yoga poses. I was looking for something more body based and things I could do easily while moving throughout my day. This wasn't it. I had ordered another deck along with this one and the other was much better for quick body based practices with little to no cognitive or journalling exercises which was more what I wanted. Recommend Vagus Nerve Deck by Melissa Romano over this if you want more body based, quick exercises (no affiliation).

Card stock is decent. They’re easy to read and use. Value is there for what they cost. Content great information to use. Easy to use. Recommend. May want to lament them if you sue frequently. I do like the appearance of each card.

Reviewed all the cards last night and separated out some that I thought would be most helpful for me. When I'm overwhelmed, it can be hard to come up with ideas, so having these cards is helpful.
