She’s correct. It’s a weakness in the muscle which puts a strain on your lower back and the alignment on your body is affected negatively. This also affects the pelvic floor which affects the bowel.

Thank you. We are unable to speak on the any other belly banks/splints/binders specifically. Our binder is all about positioning. Most binders are for compression. Having the muscles and connective tissue close together is essential to getting a diastasis to close.

Carmen I’m 55 years old. I ordered all 3. I had my children at 37 & 39 years old. I could tone everything on my body except my stomach. From my bra line to my naval, was 5 inches more. I did yoga for a year before I knew that plank, cobra, boat pose, downward facing dog is very bad for Diastasis Recti. I learned later that Pilates 100, being on hands & knees, sit-ups, and crunches are very bad for Diastasis Recti. Julie has an exercise video, etc that will help you. It’s helping me. The splint is so important. It really helped to flatten my stomach along with diet changes.

Pearl thanks for you comment,

Hi Selvaraj! You can jumpstart your diastasis recti rehab journey by checking out our Intro Workshop! CLICK HERE: tuplertechnique.ontraport.net/c/s/vks/B7TT/6/NQY/n8Z/69RBXT/vNp2JKZKvn/P/P/G0

Jeffery to keep it from getting larger you should not do crunches, any abdominal facing down exercises or any exercises where you are arching your back. If you want to close it you need to follow all 4 steps of my program. During the first six weeks you only do cardio exercises like walking on tread mill or upright stationary bike. It is ot recommended to do exerecise programs until you have developed transverse muscle strength and awareness so that you can do a diastasis safe workout in week six.

Miss Morris glad to hear this. The Tupler Technique®️program works best with ongoing support. I have an ongoing online support program. As part of this support program I do weekly live webinars where I talk about different aspects of the program as well as answer any questions you may have. If you can’t make it to the live webinar, you can turn your questions in and I will answer them on the webinar and then you can watch the recording at your convenience. Hope to get to meet you at one of my webinars. Julie

Sounds like a question for your doctor

The brace is to be worn until your diastasis is closed. For more information/to purchase please go to www.diastasisrehab.com.

We ask that people avoid exercises and activities that round/arch the back and are jariing to your already stretched out connective tissue and muscles at the start of our program. Once you develop some strength, certain activites and exercises can be resumed in a way that is "diasatsis-safe." This is why we like the use of an upright stationary bike.

Yo can buy them at our website DiastasisRehab.com. However just Wearing a splint will not close your Diastasis. You need to do all 4 steps of the program.

Hi, Send us an email at info@diastasisrehab.com so we can help you out.

Yes, you need to wear a splint all the tie except 15 minutes when you bathe. Important to continuously reposition your connective tissue and muscles

Yes. An umbilical and epigastric hernia are side effects of a Diastasis. The doming of your abdominals you see when getting up from a back lying position is also a sign that you have a severe diastasis. My program will help you. I now have an on going online support program that comes with all our packages. There are weekly videos, tips and a blog to connect with others doing the program. I also do a live webinar each month to answer. everyone’s questions. Julie

Veronica it depends on the severity of your diastasis and your committment to all 4 steps of the program. Theh purpose of the program is to stregnthen your the weak connective tissue between your separated muscles. Your connective tissue needs to be strong enough to hold the muscles close together. It is the same with wearing a cast. You need to wear it until the bones have fused. The time varies according to a persons individual healing. So if you wear it all the time as well as do the other 3 steps of the program your progress will be alot faster.

Julie Tupler thank you for your speedy response! I gave birth 5 weeks ago and I had a 3 finger separation, I now have a 1 finger separation. I am looking to purchase this binder online but I cannot find the exact one.

@@veenus8888 Congrats on your birth. Most women check themselves incorrectly and find out that their diastasis is larger then they thought. The higher you come up when measuring the closer the muscles come together. Also, just wearing a splint will NOT close your diastasis. The purpose of the splint is to reposition both the separated muscles and the connective tissue inbetween the separated muscles. They need to be in the correct position so my Tupler Technique setaeed exercises are effective. The muscles have to be close together to move in the right direction. Front to back. I would recommend the package so you get the video, guidebook, splint and online support program. The online support is ongoing. NO termination date. There are weekly videos, tips and a monthly webinar where I answer everyones questions about the program. My website DiastasisRehab.com and then go to shop and then packages. You will see evrything there. If you have questions about the sizing call the office in NYC.

@@veenus8888 Congrats on your birth. If you had a vaginal birth you can start my program right away. If you had a c section you should wait until the scar has healed. Most women check themselves wrong and when they check themselves come up to high. The higher you come up the closer the muscles come together. Also, just wearing a splint will not close your diastasis. Wearing a splint is just one of the 4 steps of my program. The purpose of the splint is ONlY to reposition the separated muscles and connective tissue. The muscles need to be close together so the seated exercises taught in the program are effective.

Karen Gonzalez as far as i know yes

Please have your physiotherapist contact me so I can explain how this program heals the connective tissue. It does strengthen the connective and many umbilical hernias have been reversed because if this. Our statistics show that if all 4 steps of the program are done, this program can make a Diastasis 55% smaller in six weeks even on people that have severe cases.

Get started right away. It does not matter if you lose weight. You will lose both weight and inches by doing the program.

Yes. You can heal your connective tissue and make your Diastasis smaller no matter when you got it it how you got it with my research and evidenced based program. Julie

@@JulieTupler_Tupler_Technique thanks

Yes, when the connective tissue between the outermost muscles is weak it will cause the muscles to separate. That is why it is important to develope transverse muscle strength AND awareness.

Don’t understand your question. As part of our online support program I do remote learning every week with live webinars to answer questions about the program.

@@JulieTupler_Tupler_Technique yeah my last msg made no sense in my head either ,dyslexia does that if you don’t read your messages before you send them out and I normally don’t lol.but am sure I have diastasis I am calling the doctors in the morning for appointment.I am from london uk and so I was just going to ask you if it turns out to be Diastasis should I ask for anything specific to help fix Diastasis ,in case they offer me an operation only,if it turns out to be Diastasis thanks a lot.they tried to say I have sciatica I suffer from bad back pain also ,wonder if this will find out the cause of my severe back pain.regards Ryan.🫶🏻🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇮🇪🫶🏻
