All New Before and After Pictures – Healing the Diastasis Recti 2015

I’m so proud of all these gals this past year! From age 20 to age 72, they closed their diastasis and shrunk their bellies. Most of these were during a four week workshop. It can and does happen! I feel so lucky I get to be a part of it!

Amazing stories of those in the Tupler Technique® program:

I see so many amazing things with my clients, and I tell all the good stories at my workshops. I decided to share a few here:) Some Amazing stories in the past few months of those who have gone through the Tupler Technique® program:

Client CS

She is in her 30s was taking the workshop and just found out the first day of her program she was pregnant with #5. She measured 10.5 fingerwidths wide on the lower measurement of her diastasis recti. In only TWO WEEKS she brought that measurement down to 1.5 fingerwidths WHILE she had morning sickness!

Client CI

She is a mom in her lower 40s with 2 kids. She has fibromyalgia and wanted to do the program to fix her diastasis recti. She emailed me after 1 week commenting her fibromyalgia had never felt better, AND her belly looked much better!

Client MT

She is a mom in her 40s with 2 kids. She had a 3.5 inch by 3 inch hernia 1 inch above her navel. After 2.5 weeks of doing the Tupler Technique, she decreased her hernia to 1.25 inch X 1 inch (while only doing half the suggested exercises). A 66% decrease!

Client GU

She is a mom in her 30s with 3 kids. She was very athletic, but her belly did not reflect that. After doing the Tupler Technique® program for 5 week, She closed her 7 fingerwidth diastasis, and shrunk her waist from 39 inches at the belly button to 32! She also lost another 5 inches across the lower and upper parts of her belly. 12 inches off her belly in 5 weeks (not changing what she ate or anything else).

Client KM

She is a mom in her lower 30s with 2 kids. She had a 1in. X 1 in. hernia that had bothered her for years. She did the Tupler Technique® program and splinted, and her hernia completely reversed in 2 days! She couldn’t believe it and emailed me to make sure this was even possible. It has never come back. Gone for good.

Client PH

She just turned 60 this year and has 4 kids. She is taking the working with her daughter. She completely closed her 5 fingerwidth diastasis she has had for 30 years in just TWO WEEKS! Her abs were rock solid, connective tissue has already started healing beautifully. She told me she used to buy a belt for her pants to hold over her pooch, but now, she has to wear a belt just to keep her pants up! She shed 7 inches off her belly in 2 weeks!

Client CS

She is a young mom of 2 kids, one just an infant. She drove 3.5 hours from another state for the workshop. We practiced coughing correctly at the workshop; especially important time of year as it was a January workshop. She came back 2 weeks later reporting that she had pneumonia for the last two weeks. However, she had brought her diastasis to only ONE fingerwidth from EIGHT fingerwidths in just TWO WEEKS WITH pneumonia! Little things like coughing are so important to learn to do correctly!

Client KG

She is a mom of 4 in her mid 50s. She is a professor at a university in the City of Chicago. She was overweight, had a large 8 fingerwidth diastasis, both of which were taxing on her back, causing her severe back pain. She had to frequently go in for an epidural to alleviate her pain. She called me on her Jewish New Year to thank me, as the Tupler Technique® program had not only closed her diastasis, it helped her back so much to the point she no longer needed the epidural every couple of months!

CLIENT KH

This client was a male client who had a 10.5 fingerwidth diastasis. He was a cute older gentlemen from the city (Chicago) with a white beard in his 60s. He reported that after two weeks all his pants were falling off, so he had to go shopping with his wife to buy new pants. We measured his diastasis and he had nearly closed it in just TWO WEEKS! It was down to a 1 fingerwidth diastasis. He also reported that his back felt much better than it had in a long time (decades).

Client SB

This client is a mom of 4 in her 60s. She had a 14 fingerwidth diastasis and 9 very large hernias – a few of them being 5X6 inches, and a few of them being 3 X 4 inches, and a couple of them being 1 X 2 inches. Her connective tissue was like a spiderweb, barely holding in her organs. Someone with this severe of a diastasis and this many hernias will take much longer to heal than someone without shredded connective tissue, and someone without this wide of a diastasis. No doubt any surgeon would recommend surgery with super heavy duty mesh. Over 9 months, with the help of an MRI, ALL over her hernias were COMPLETELY UNDERNEATH the connective tissue! We measured her to see – she was a 6 fingerwidth diastasis and was no longer in constant pain. Her spiderweb of connective tissue had come back together and started healing. She was only a 1 fingerwidth diastasis in the upper and lower measurements of the diastasis! This with NO surgery, just the Tupler Technique® program!

Client MS

This client is a nursing young mom in her 20s. She had 1 baby a few months ago. She wanted her belly back. She was a 28.5 inch waist and had a 4 fingerwidth diastasis. After 4 weeks she was able to bring her waist back to her wedding waist measurement of 24 inches. Her diastasis was completely closed and her abs were rock solid. I see so many amazing things – I tried to include stories from all gamuts and walks of life. I am so proud of them all!

Have you hit a wall with the Tupler Technique? Consider this…

Many people will email me expressing dismay that they have hit a wall. They can’t figure out why. This happened to me after my 2nd baby (of my 5) and I have seen many clients who this has happened to. There could be MANY Reasons. Lets do some troubleshooting:

Here are just SOME of them to consider:

Are you Getting baby in and out of crib correctly? pack n play?
How are your body mechanics? Are you getting up and down from couch correctly? Are you Jacknifing in or out of bed?
Are you picking up things that are too heavy? A heavy backpack? Laundry basket too unweildly? Baby carrier too heavy? Stroller too heavy or unweildly?
Are you picking up your kids CORRECTLY?
Are you wearing a baby carrier?
Are you coughing/sneezing correctly?
Do you have a cold or vomiting sickness?
Are you carrying too many bags of groceries?
Are you Picking EVERYTHING up correctly – neutral spine/back, transverse to the spine at 5th floor?
Are you executing a Bbwel movement correctly – (transverse to the spine, open up pelvic floor)?
Are you Staying at 5th floor with ALL other exercises? Lifting weights? Crossfit movements? Any side to side movements or twisting? headlifts?
How many sets a day of tupler contractions are you doing? Doing headlifts? Are you being CONSISTANT?
Are you doing an exercise program that contains movements that causes a FOREWORD FORCEFULL movement of the abdominals/ can’t stay at the 5th floor with your transverse?
How is your techique of the exercises? Is your lower or upper insertion of your transverse LAGGING behind the other one?

*98% of the time if someone is not progressing, I find they are jacknifing, often as a combination as one of these other culprits. If you can FIND the culprit, you can shoot forward and continue progressing.Those incorrect body mechanics will get you EVERY time, because you do them SO OFTEN during your day, and usually EVERYDAY multiple times. Once you identify and CORRECT, you can finish the job of closing the diastasis recti and START HEALING!!

Awesome new before and after pics from early fall 2013 Workshop!!

CLIENT BD
This cute mom in her 30s had the highest amount of inch loss in her waist I have seen – and in the shortest period of time. She started out as a 34.5 inch waist, and got down to a 23.1 inch waist -11 1/2 inches in just FIVE WEEKS at the belly button. UNBELIEVABLE!! I could tell her waist would go down quickly as the bulging in her belly was all ORGAN PROTRUSION! I added up the inches in the three places in the 2nd way we measure the belly – with measuring tape – at the belly button, 3 inches ablove the belly button, and 3 inches below the belly button – and it added up to an ASTOUNDING 22 inches lost!!!! She is the title holder for the most inches lost in the midsection of any of my clients as well!

She started out as 4 fingerwidth diastasis in 3 areas – at the belly button, 3 inches above and 3 inches below. Her DIASTASIS IS CLOSED in all three areas! You can also see the pronounced umbilical hernia right at the navel in her before picture. Her HERNIA IS NOW REVERSED! A surgeon would tell you this is impossible. But here is the proof!

CLIENT TW

This cute mom was a 4 fingerwidth diastasis in 2 areas of her diastasis recti, and a 3 fingerwidth diastasis in the 3rd area. She CLOSED everything by week 3. She has a hernia as you can see by her belly button – a slight umbilical hernia. It decreased by 70% so far – and should finish reversing in a couple weeks. She lost FOUR inches at the belly button – from 30.25 inch waist to a 26.8 inch waist in 5 weeks! You can also see the “bloated look” of the belly that was caused by organ protrusion has reverse and looks much better cosmetically and is also much better functionally as well!

CLIENT KP
This cute mom joined the workshop later than all the other gals, so she had a 1 1/2 weeks LESS time than all the other moms and her results for 3 1/2 weeks is amazing! Not only did she go down 3 inches at the belly button from a 29.5 inch waist to a 26.5 inch waist, she came down 8 inches over all the midsection and you can REALLY see a big difference! She nearly closed her diastasis too in this short time. It is closed in two places, with just a little more to go in the upper section of her diastasis!

I Love seeing the huge differences in measurements and before and after pictures at my workshops. These women work hard and they certainly see the fruits of their labors. HERNIAS REVERSED, DIASTASIS RECTI closure, ORGAN PROTRUSION REVERSED, WAISTLINE SHRINKAGE!! Don’t keep this a secret! Let your midwives and OB GYNS in on the BEST KEPT SECRET to restoring the prepregnancy midsection – The TUPLER TECHNIQUE!!!!

So I thought I would post some of the crazy awesome results just 2 days before the due date of #5 so you could get a taste of some of the great case studies and before and afters. Then in April or so I will post my own before and after results after baby #5. Enjoy!

Client AG

This client (ABOVE) is in her 30s and is a health conscious mom recently of 5 young kids – 2 of them are still nursing. As you can see, she has had SIGNIFICANT results! She lost 7 inches in her belly button ALONE in just 4 weeks. She lost 15 inches across her entire midsection in just 4 weeks! How did she do it? She splinted consistently and she followed the 6 week program – doing 7 to 10 sets of Seated Tuplers each day. You can notice the bulging of her belly near the belly button has significantly decreased. She is starting to get definition of her abdominal muscles. Also, you can see her diastasis that was fairly severe with very deep connective tissue between the two halves of her recti has improved significantly to be very shallow connective tissue and her diastasis is considered closed – just a tiny little almost imperceptible divet 3 inches above and 3 inches below the belly.

This client is a Pilates and Yoga instructor with 2 young kids – one of them is still under 1 and is still nursing. You can see with her numbers that her diastasis as well was fairly severe with deep connective tissue. We saw a huge improvement with the connective tissue and width of the diastasis in the first 2 weeks and continued improving. She wore the splint consistently, modified some of the movements she taught, splinted consistently and watched her body mechanics.

CLIENT MC

This client has 3 young boys. She recently had gall bladder surgery with a scar near her belly button. She could tell she had a diastasis and wanted to heal it. Her waist and abdomen started shrinking and her concerned husband wondered after 2 weeks whether or not she was “too skinny.” She began to notice very nice definition in her obliques as well as can be noticed in her after pics. She has made progress with her diastasis and should finish closing in a couple of weeks. She splinted consistently and did the Seated Tuplers 10 sets consistently.

This client has never had kids but knew she had a hernia she was very worried about and also suspected she had a diastasis recti. Sure enough she had both. She wants to have kids and felt the umbilical hernia was getting in the way of realizing her dreams, and she did not want to have surgery for it. Her hernia was giving her pain and was noticeable to her at all times. She did the Seated Tupler exercises very consistently and was able to reduce her hernia by 80% in just 4 weeks. It now does not cause her pain but feels like little bubbles as most of the organs poking through have gone back behind the connective tissue and recti muscles as her diastasis has decreased significantly. You can also see her waistline, while tiny before, also reduced even more, which was a nice perk!

DIASTASIS	waist	upper	middle	lower

NH was told by several surgeons and doctors that SURGERY was the only answer for her hernia. Of course! This is the easiest thing in the world for a doctor to tell ANYONE with a hernia. However, what they DONT tell you is you can fix a hernia was SPECIFIC INTRINSIC EXERCISES which all of my blog readers now know fondly as Seated Tupler Contraction exercises!!

Also, what THEY don’t tell you is that hernia surgery has a HIGH REOCCURANCE rate for the return of hernia – some say 50%, some say as much as EVENTUALLY 100%…not to mention the not so fun part of RISK OF INFECTION, and STILL not really addressing the problem!!!!

The problem being WEAK CONNECTIVE TISSUE because of a Diastasis Recti – or split in the Recti muscles. This client with practically NO FAT ON HER BODY – had a severe diastasis of 7 D. Anytime your recti are separated to a 7, you have a HIGH RISK of a hernia because its so easy for the thinned out connective tissue to get a tear or imperfection and part of an internal organ will pop through.

You can see you close the bottom and top parts of her diastasis recti completely (technically they were 1/8 to 1/4 of a fingerwidth – almost imperceptible – so I am calling them closed) The middle you can see went from 7 DEEP connective tissue, to 3 Moderate to Shallow connective tissue – which is a huge improvment in just FOUR WEEKS. Any surgeon or doctor would tell you this is NOT POSSIBLE. Also, note the WAISTLINE!! I measure 3 places for the waistline – 3 inches above belly button, at belly button, and 3 inches below belly button – corresponding EXACTLY to where we measure the diastasis – really giving a full picture of the changes going on. 3 inches ABOVE the belly button, she lost SEVEN INCHES in just 4 weeks! UNBELiEVaBLE!! She also lost 3 inches AT the waist – though in the pics it looks like more to me.

And CHECK OUT WHAT DID happen to her hernia. You would REALLY ASK – WHAT HERNIA????? Based on the latter pics. It has completely reversed. She says her friends and family are amazed, knowing how many doctors she consulted, knowing how far the belly button had been protruding…and in only FOUR WEEKS!!! I am guessing by the time I have my follow up with this client in a month, her diastasis will have completed healing, her belly skin adjusted to the smaller belly, her waist in another 2 inches at the waistline. That is a total of 10 inches across the midsection in Four weeks – and cosmetically INFINITELY BETTER! No more taping of the belly button!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE working with women who have hernias. Since I have reversed two of my own, including ONE WHEN I WAS 6 months PREGNANT with #4.
I have a particular fondness for helping people reverse theirs. I would estimate approximately 60 to 70% of my clients currently have a hernia. Maybe only half of those knew they had one because many have never asked their physicians about it, or just thought that was “just what their belly looked like after having a baby.”

So, how did NH achieve these results??? This client did the program RELIGIOUSLY – she followed the Diastasis Rehab® Guidebook (can be purchased here on my site – right hand side) to the tee. She wore her Diastasis Rehab® Splint and did ALL OF HER SETS OF EXERCISES.

Do you have a hernia? Have you seen doctors and surgeons for it? Does your belly button look odd? Do you have burning or bulging around your belly or belly button? If so, you probably have a hernia!! There IS a natural way to heal your body and you HAVE the ability!!

AWESOME NEW RESULTS of closing the diastasis recti with the TUPLER TECHNIQUE® with CASE STUDIES

I have seen such great things happening lately I had to post them!! These are just some of the great case studies for healing the diastasis recti with the Tupler Technique I have going on – WITH TOTALLY ROCKIN RESULTS!!!

CLIENT HP

Client HP was a first for me – a very roomy TWELVE FINGERWIDTHS diastasis with VERY DEEP connective tissue, and thought she would give this a shot before tummy surgery. For my 5 weeks with her, we had our work cut out for us! I couldn’t believe the quick improvements I started seeing in so little time. She has now BROKEN my personal training record of bringing her diastasis together the most fingerwidths in the smallest amount of time – an astonishing EIGHT FINGERWIDTHS SMALLER in just FIVE WEEKS!! Her connective tissue is healing and is actually shallow now on the top and the bottom! Ask ANY surgeon and they would tell you this is NOT POSSIBLE.

THE PROOF:

DIASTASIS	waist	upper	middle	lower
Week 1	35.5	3	12	8
Week 2		2.75	9.5	7
Week 3		1	8.25	4.5
Week 4	34.5	2.75	5.75	3.75
Week 5		1	5.5	3.25
Week 6	33	1	4	2.75

CLIENT JG

This client had THREE hernias when she came to see me. Though her diastasis wasn’t too wide, her connective tissue was so thin in three places that those organs poked through,creating her 3 hernias. Well helping clients reverse hernias is a particular love of mine, since I reversed my own during pregnancy. Her 3 once very large hernias are nearly gone – the faintest traces which will completely disappear once the connective tissue has finished healing and that last little bit of diastasis recti is closed.

DIASTASIS	waist	upper	middle	lower
Week 1	31.5	5	5	4
Week 6		2.75	3.25	3
Week 8	28.5	1	2.25	closed

CLIENT SH

A cute mom in her 30s with 4 kids, she closed her diastasis completely and now has ROCK SOLID ABS in only 5 weeks!

Week 1	31.5	5	5	4
Week 6		2.75	3.25	3
Week 8	28.5	1	2.25	0

CLIENT JG#1 This client had her abdominal surgery scheduled for 9 months – she wanted to make sure it was at the perfect time of year, when her mother could stay for the unavoidable horrible recovery period, a break in the demands of her job, etc. She had done physical therapy for 6 months with NO CHA NGE OR IMPROVEMENT. She found me while browsing the internet and thought she would give it a last shot. We had only 1 ½ weeks until she had to make a massive down-payment for the surgery. She also had a hernia, scoliosis, and week pelvic floor.

After just 1 1/2 weeks, her diastasis significantly improved and her hernia got so small that she couldn’t even feel it, and wasn’t sure if she still had one. She progressed very quickly in strength and technique capability and splinted . She cancelled her surgery at the 1 ½ week mark and has since shrunk her waistline and now has rock solid abs.
