New Round of Before and After Results for closing the Diastasis Recti!

So I hope you all are not getting tired of hearing some of the awesome results people are getting.  Everytime I see more exciting results, I just feel like I have to tell SOMEBODY!!   Its so exciting!  Of course, my husband hears all the awesome results because I will usually talk with him on my drive home (I know, driving and calling – but at least I don’t TEXT and DRIVE!) 

Anyway – this is kind of a middle of the route results, rather than a true “AFTER” – but the results were so great, I HAD TO POST!!

In a current 6 session class/workshop I am teaching now, here is what I have seen SO FAR:

This client came for week #2, #3, and #4 (a total of only TWO CALENDAR WEEKS).  I really could almost not believe what my measuring tape said.  This client is in her late 40s and is a smaller build – maybe 5’2 or 5’3.


Her diastasis measured:

• 1 1/2 fingerwidth diastasis 3 inches above the belly button
• 3 fingerwidth diastasis right AT the belly button
• 3 fingerwidth diastasis 3 inches below the belly button.
• WAIST SIZE: 33 INCH WAIST

So this client purchased a Diastasis Rehab® Splint (and of COURSE did her homework of 5 sets of 100 Seated Tuplers daily) on week #3.  I see her 1 week later on week #4 – she wondered if she was wearing it right, thought it was maybe too tight that she was putting it on at first, butit seemed to get better after a couple of days.  At the end of class she requested that I measure her waist because she felt it was smaller and that she had made progress.  I measured her and could NOT BELIEVE that she was measuring 27 7/8 INCH WAIST!!!!!!!!  OVER FIVE INCHES LOST IN HER WAISTLINE IN TWO CALENDAR WEEKS!!!!  FANTASTIC!!!

This client also came for only week #2 and week #3.  She is only 4 ’11, has had 2 kids, and because of her small torso thought she has something amiss with her midsection.  She felt like she couldn’t engage her abdominals anymore.  She had been a gymnast and her lack of ability to engage her abdominals PLUS the odd look and bulge of her midsection were very disconcerting to her.  She is a young mom- late 20s.


Her diastasis measured:

• 2 fingerwidth gap 3 inches above the belly button
• 4 fingerwidth gap right AT the belly button
• 3 fingerwidth gap 3 inches below the belly button
• Measured 29 1/2 inch waist

This client was so excited after 1 week because she felt that after she put on her  Diastasis Rehab® Splint – 3 days later (and of course doing her homework of 5 sets of 100 Seated Tuplers) she felt like her midsection was totally different.  She told me she tried to measure herself and she felt like things were closed, and her belly button looked totally different, and she was able to engage her abdominals like she hadn’t quite been able to do previously.  She wanted me to measure to make sure.  Now keep in mind this is only ONE CALENDAR WEEK LATER ONLY!!!  

ONE WEEK LATER 

• CLOSED GAP (No diastasis) 3 inches above the belly button
• 1 fingerwidth diastasis right AT the belly button
• CLOSED GAP (NO diastasis) 3 inches below the belly button

So that diastasis is CLINICALLY CLOSED in just 1 week, which is totally amazing!  

Well, what can live up to those examples?  This next client is a very thin slender mom in her late 20s or early 30s.  She just need that last missing link to the puzzle -her midsection that mysteriously wouldn’t go right after her 2 kids. 


Her moderate diastasis measured:

• 2 fingerwidth gap 3 inches above the belly button
• 3 1/2 fingerwidth gap right AT the belly button
• 3 fingerwidth gap 3 inches below the belly button
• WAIST SIZE: 31 INCHES

So After 3 calendar weeks, with wearing a splint and doing her homework of 5 sets of 100 Seated Tuplers daily, she asked to be measured (usually we measure 1st and last week only, unless I get requests) to see if her WAIST had gone down.  She HAD gone down to a 29 INCH WAIST in THREE CALENDAR WEEKS!!  Now that might not seem as “WOAH” as the 5 inch WONDER (above) in 2 weeks, but that is STILL GREAT – that is a full pant size, and that much less “smoothing out” you have to do in that area – not to mention, when you get into the 20s range for waistsize, each inch into the 20s seems a bit more stubborn, and should be celebrated.  And of course, there are still 2 more weeks to go!!

SO CONGRATS TO THE AWESOME RESULTS!  FROM “BEFORE” to “MID WAY THROUGH” – hopefully I will have more great things to share with the “AFTERS” in a couple of weeks!
