Simply put, it is a number of medical treatments aimed at correcting DRA. It does this by closing the gap that is caused by the separated abdominal muscles. This can be done by strengthening the abdominal muscles and repairing the connective tissues which holds them together until it returns into its normal position. Another way is through a surgical procedure commonly known as a tummy tuck aka abdominoplasty. With a tummy tuck they are just sewing the connective tissue. I have seen clients whose tummy tucks have come undone.

After reading the long but effective methods of diastasis recti repair whether it is through exercise or surgery, you might be wondering: do I really have to undergo one of these methods or will my diastasis recti repair or close the gap by itself as time passes? 

Unfortunately, without exercise or tummy-tuck surgery, it would be impossible for your diastasis recti to repair itself. This condition only gets worse as you age! Separation of the abdominal muscles is not something that can repair itself, as it is already stretched out of its normal position. So yes, you must take action to close your diastasis.

If you think you have diastasis recti, you might want to learn how to check yourself for a diastasis.

Yes! Most conditions even some severe diastasis recti can be repaired without undergoing surgery. In fact, therapeutic exercises taught by medical or fitness professionals trained in treating diastasis recti, is usually the first line of intervention and NOT surgery. Remember, with surgery they are just stitching your connective tissue and the stitching can come undone.

In short, treatment and the right exercise program exercise is key. If you are diagnosed with DRA (either by checking yourself or getting checked by a professional)know that there is no standard treatment plan for diastasis recti.

Some abdominal exercises may worsen your DRA. When you see your belly form in a dome-like position vertically along the midline of your abdomen or when you feel any sort of pain in your abdominal area, it is best to stop. Thankfully, here you don’t need to apply the famous workout motto “no pain, no gain” when doing your DR exercises. Also, know that if you have a severe diastasis you may not be able to feel your abdominal muscles working.

That is why it is vital that you make sure the program you do is a proven, evidence-based and research-backed DRA treatment program. Because not doing so might cause your diastasis to worsen as mentioned before.

Avoiding an unnecessary surgery will save you money ( this surgery is not covered by insurance) and a long and painful recovery process. However, if surgery is necessary, it is crucial that you prepare your body before having surgery. Please watch this video to understand why preparation is necessary for a successful outcome.

a. Diastasis recti can only be repaired through surgery.

b. Diastasis recti can be repaired by performing ALL sorts of exercises.

c. It is okay to do only a set of home exercises in treating your diastasis recti.

All three statements are false. 

Diastasis recti CAN be repaired noninvasively and through a well-defined and properly structured exercise program. Blindly doing core exercises or crunches may in fact worsen your condition.

The best way is to read my book called Together Tummy. It will tell you exactly why exercises such as sit-ups or crunches, straight leg raises, Pilate movements, forward cross over movements will make the diastasis worse.

Since I have been working on The Tupler Technique® for just about 30 years…. I just happen to think my program is the best! It is a 4 step-program that heals your connective tissues by repositioning, protecting, strengthening them. These four steps include wearing a splint throughout the 18- week program, it also includes the Tupler Technique® exercises (Elevator, Contracting and Head Lifts), developing transverse awareness with activities of daily living and getting up and down correctly from seated to standing and seated to back lying. My statistics (which I am hoping will be published in a medical journal soon) shows that my program can make a diastasis 55% smaller in six weeks!

The Tupler Technique® may just be the method you’re looking for. Always look at the numbers because they don’t lie. Take a peek at the statistics here and see what the numbers say. It is a program that repairs your diastasis by strengthening the connective tissue.

By now you’re probably imagining or gearing yourself up for a set of exercises that will solve your tummy problem, but let me break it to you: the Tupler Technique® is different from other kinds of DRA treatment in a sense that it does not start with an exercise routine right away, but after a 6- week healing process which allows the connective tissue to heal by wearing a splint while developing abdominal muscle awareness with activities of daily living.

While the term splint may register to your mind as a wooden material used for campfires, it is actually an abdominal approximator that can put your connective tissue in a narrow position and bring your abdominal muscles closer together. Just wearing a splint will NOT make your diastasis smaller. Wearing the splint only repositions the separated abdominal muscles and stretch out connective tissue.

Now that have your splint to reposition your muscles and connective tissue, you are ready to do the seated abdominal exercises for the first three weeks of the program.

The seated exercises primarily focus on the transversus abdominis muscles and the ab muscles which are the deepest muscle in the abdominal area. These muscles act as your built-in organic waistband that is responsible in holding your organs in.

The following exercises can strengthen your abdominal muscles and bring you closer to full restoration

In this picture, we see the before and after comparison of a person using the Tupler Technique® as a means of diastasis recti repair. This comparison was made after 18 weeks of difference! In the “before” photo, we can see how she also had umbilical hernia just by looking at her bulging belly button. Her abdomen protrudes outward in a dome-like form which is a common symptom for diastasis recti abdominis. After following the Tupler Technique®, visible changes can be seen; her navel was not protruded and out, her waist slimmed down, and the dome-like form was no longer there.
