Diastasis recti before and after pics - 2 week progress

I finally have organized some of my photos so I can show the awesome recent progress of some of my clients here in the D.C and Baltimore areas!

Client A trained with me in January 2012 and these were her results in 2 weeks!!

Before her one on one session with me

Diastasis - Waist measurement

TOP (3"above belly button): 3 fingers wide - medium 34 " around waist

Middle (at belly button): 6 fingers wide - very deep 35 "

Bottom (3"below belly button): 3 fingers wide 38 "

After 2 weeks of doing the Tupler Exercises

TOP: 2.5 - med -shallow 30 1/4 "around waist

Middle: 5 -deep 34 "

Bottom: 1 35 1/4"

Her separation came in, especially on bottom. The depth of her separation improved significantly as well on top. She lost almost 3 inches on bottom and almost 4 inches on TOP, in just two weeks. She definitely noticed a big difference and I can't wait to see how well she does over the next 4 weeks!!

So....... amazing results in just 2 weeks!! She has 2 children, her most recent is 4 months old.

Client B - Before her first 1 on 1 session with me, and 2 weeks after her first 1 on1 session! ) (also trained in January 2012)

As you can see, her muscles are toning and her abdominal separation is coming together as her recti start to support her organs better. A phenominal difference for just two weeks of doing the Tupler Technique exercises!

Measurements:

Diastasis Before Waist Measurement

Top: 3 finger widths - shallow 28.5"

Middle: 4.5 - deep - 31

Bottom: 1 3/4 - med depth 30

Diastasis After 2 weeks Waist after 2 weeks

Top: - closed!! 27 1/4

Middle: 2 3/4 med- deep 29 1/4

Bottom: 1 med depth 30

She obviously made great progress on top - closing the gap in 2 weeks, great progress i the middle as well and lost over and inch on top and 2 in the middle!!

This client has 3 children - with the last two being twins (1.5 yrs old)

Hopefully I will have updates on these clients soon!

ABOUT LOSE YOUR MUMMY TUMMY: THE TUPLER TECHNIQUE

Whether you had a baby 3 days or 30 years ago, learn to get your pre-pregnancy midsection back! During pregnancy, your stomach muscles split, which is called a diastasis. These split muscles DO NOT come back together on their own.

A diastasis is what causes the not flat, slightly protruding, not-quite-right look of your tummy, a thicker waistline, back problems, and even belly button issues! Learn how to fuse these muscles back together (or keep splitting to a minimum during pregnanc), tone specific abdominal, postural, and glute muscles, correct your posture, and shrink your waistline. Specifically and uniquely designed abdominal workouts combined with upper and lower body sculpting exercises will be incorporated. Great for Pregnant women as well as Pre & Postnatal women. This method has been given the thumbs up by Dr. OZ.

Why splint?? How to apply the diastasis rehab splint.

The diastasis rehab splint: is it necessary???
If your diastasis is 3 fingers or more, you will definitely want to wear a splint! This will help approximate the two sides of the rectus abdominus, putting the connective tissue in a better position to heal and make your exercises even more effective and help you to heal and close the gap much faster. The muscles will also be stronger and you will get more out of your exercises if you wear it.

This video will help you know how to put it on correctly and help you problem solve if you have been wearing the splint, but having some trouble with it.

Top : closed

Middle: 1

Lower: closed

Waist at the belly button: 28 inches

J lost nearly 4 inches in 6 weeks just by doing the Tupler Technique! Her weight stayed nearly the same(she said she went down 2 lbs) - but the dramatic results of her waistline change were apparent to everyone, as everyone noticed! She said her abdominals were never like this and that she was probably one who had a diastasis even before having children.

Since then, I have seen her and she has lost 1 more inch from her waistline.

"When your belly gets worse or won't go away with exercise, it may not be fat. It may be your organs sticking out," said Julie Tupler, RN, the creator of the Tupler Technique® and President of Tupler Inc. "Checking your belly for a diastasis before starting your New Year's fitness resolution may be one of the smartest things you can do for yourself because it may help stop you from wrecking your belly. At our press briefing on Monday, we will show you how to check your belly for a diastasis. If you know you have a diastasis, then there are certain exercises to avoid because these exercises may make the belly even bigger. When the abdominal muscles separate the connective tissue stretches sideways and becomes weaker. When you do planks and crunches, you are creating intra-abdominal pressure that pushes against the connective tissue. This force makes the separation larger. Trauma to this abdominal connective tissue can tear it away from the muscle and cause a ventral hernia."
