Journey to Specialization
After living in the USA with her family for five years, Katrin returned to Germany in 2016. She quickly realized a significant gap in pre- and post-natal care for women. Driven by a desire to fill this void, she specialized in women's health and discovered the Tupler Technique®, a program developed by Julie Tupler, RN, designed specifically to address diastasis recti—a common but often neglected condition that involves the separation of the abdominal muscles.
What is the Tupler Technique®?
The Tupler Technique® is a comprehensive program that targets the rehabilitation of the abdominal muscles. It focuses on the "four steps to a better belly," which includes exercises specifically designed to strengthen the transverse abdominis, the use of a diastasis rehab splint to position the connective tissue and muscles in a forward position, education on the mechanics of the abdomen, and awareness of the proper movements to prevent worsening of the condition.
