All 42 muscle tests, which come from the Touch in Pictures muscle book, are printed on a card as an image (standing, lying and sitting, so a total of 84 cards)

On the back of the card is the name of the muscle and the meridian to which it belongs. You can learn the 42 muscles while playing with this card set.

 IDEAS:

• Draw a card and do the corresponding muscle test (in our TiP 42- Muscle book you can find the description of the muscle test)

• Which muscle (test) do you see in this picture?

• To which meridian does this muscle belong?

• Find all cards that have an arm muscle test on them and name which muscles they are and which meridian they belong to.

• Place the cards in a logical test order and then test the muscles.

• Sort all arm muscle tests (leg muscle, trunk, lower leg muscle tests).

• Place the cards in the order of The Wheel.

• Draw a card and name the muscle. Your fellow student names the meridian that goes with it and performs the muscle test without seeing the picture.

• Draw a card, show the picture and tell your fellow student which muscle it is and look for the other muscle(s) of the same meridian.

• Draw a card and test the muscle in question with a fellow student. Your fellow student may feel and guess which muscle is being tested. Perhaps feeling it helps to remember where the muscle is in the body. Look up the picture of the muscle in your manual.

• Find the playing cards of the muscles that belong to the element of earth etc.

• Once you’ve found a reactor and the reactive muscles, look up the accompanying photos to easily see and work with the muscle tests.

• Place the cards with the text sides up. Take one card, perform the muscle test, and check on the other side of the card whether you performed it correctly.

• Put the cards down with the text facing up. For example, find all the cards from the triple warmer and test the corresponding muscles without first looking at the picture.
