I'm a fully recovered stutterer. Though many stutterers do stutter for physical reasons, my stuttering was caused by childhood experiences, and my fluency was the result of psychotherapy. Exercises might help if stuttering is physical, but probably not if it's emotional. Wouldn't it be wonderful if the placebo effect worked for speech therapy? Then just the hope, expectation, and intention of relief would be enough.
