Workplace Wellness/Anxiety:

“I placed a few in our De-Stress Kits that are on each unit. We had a meeting on Friday and I was so tickled to see that almost everyone had one. I pulled mine out first and then everyone else began to pull theirs out and hold it. We felt like we belonged to a secret club.

My manager texted me the day I brought them to the units and stated “Can I just say I love this weird orange wormy toy?!?!” I had sent an e-mail about Tangles after I placed them in the boxes.

I, personally, have found that using the Tangle in a meeting has helped me focus on what is being said. Usually, I am doodling or spacing out, but the past two meeting that I have been to with a Tangle in hand, I have noticed more retention on what is being talked about as well as me being more vocal and adding to the conversation.

A few other nurses have mentioned that they love the Tangle. Just mindlessly “playing” during downtime helps to decompress. Today, when I came our charge nurse stated that it wasn’t helping. She had a very stressful day, I told her that per the website it is only to be used for mild stress.”

Brain Tools, ADHD & Autism in School:

I am a German teacher in The Netherlands and I work with children who are between 12 and 16 years old. http://vmbopro.thorbecke-zwolle.nl/home/ We are a regular public school for children with average (or a little less) IQ, but which are challenged in their behavior or concentration. Some of them have diagnoses (ADHD, Autism . . .) but the majority don’t (yet).

However, these are children who are very creative, energetic, honest and they speak their minds…. I just love to work with them. Since I’m a German and economics teacher, I obviously have to give them proper instruction and therefore need them to be concentrated.

What happens is, that children who lack concentration, will start to tick with their pens, try to contact the others around them, wiggle on their chair….. you get the picture. But as soon as they get their ‘extra energy tangled’ they can pay attention again.

I asked a couple of them recently, what the Tangle does for them and all of the children tell me the same: Instead of making any noise with pens or using the extra energy in a negative way, the Tangle helps them to keep their hands busy and their minds focused.

It was unbelievable how precise they were able to put their experience in words. A couple of the children also bought one for their little siblings, because they seem to know, that they struggle with the same problem.

Cognitive Therapy/Learning Disabilities:

“I work for a learning center that provides one-to-one cognitive therapy to individuals with learning challenges and disabilities. I have ordered a number of your products over the last couple of months, we now have one Tangle for each station in both of our centers (Chino, CA and Irvine, CA).  We find that many of our students enjoy your product so much that they now ask for it at the beginning of their session.  In turn many of the parents have made their own purchases.

Our owner and director Jill Stowell is hosting a Simulation for the community that helps them gain greater understanding and compassion for students who struggle with attention, auditory, and learning challenges.  She is going to provide the attendees with a bag which will include her book At Wit’s End: A Parent’s Guide to Ending the Struggle, Tears and Turmoil of Learning Disabilities, some other pieces of literature, and Jill would very much like to include a Tangle Relax Therapy in each bag.”

Improved Focus:
I don’t know the proper place to express my gratitude for your products so I’ll do it here. I love Tangle Jrs so much. I use them to help me focus when studying, to keep me entertained in line at the DMV, and during two hour lectures. I really do focus on the task at hand when I can twist a Tangle between my fingers. I only wish I had discovered Tangles before I was seventeen.

Beyond the utility of these toys, the price makes them easily affordable. When one becomes too loose, I do not feel bad for buying more, and they make fantastic and affordable gifts.

I am so glad that you guys are still providing these awesome toys.

Anxiety Reduction:

“I just wanted to share my experience with your “Therapy Tangle.” I recently had an appointment for root canal. As anyone who has gone through this procedure knows this is a nerve racking experience! As I was leaving my apartment I saw the “Tangle Therapy” on my desk & decided to take it to my dental appointment. As I was sitting in the dentist chair I placed a Tangle Jr. on the dental tray & told the dentist this would bring me good energy for the procedure! I also showed him the “Therapy Tangle” & told him it was a stress reliever & it would help me get through the hour long root canal. I held onto the “Therapy Tangle” for the entire procedure & to my surprise I had no anxiety & actually fell asleep in the dental chair!! Thank you for inventing a product that really does reduce stress & anxiety situations. You have a very creative company.”

Workplace Wellness/ Occupational Therapy:

“I absolutely love the Tangle! Prior to using it, my hands and arms would start to ache after typing for extended periods of time. Thanks to the Tangle, no more pain.”

Workplace Wellness/Workplace Efficiency:

“I just wanted to thank you for making a great product. I recently started a new job and went through a rigorous two week training session. Since much of the time was spent listening to my supervisors’ instructions, my mind tended to wander. One of my co-workers let me borrow her Tangle Toy one day and I found that while playing with the toy in my hands, I was able to fully concentrate on the information that was being presented. I now feel confident at work that I will be very successful at my job! Thank you Tangle Toys!!!!”
