Are you looking to heal your diastasis recti and regain a stronger, flatter belly? The Tupler Technique® Program offers a comprehensive approach to diastasis repair, focusing on four essential steps that, when combined, lead to a better belly. In this article, we'll dive into each of these steps to give you a clear understanding of what's involved in this effective program.
Step 1: Doing the Tupler Technique® Exercises
The foundation of the Tupler Technique® Program lies in specific exercises designed to target and strengthen the transverse abdominis muscle—the deepest layer of your abdominal muscles responsible for core stability. These exercises are carefully crafted to engage the transverse muscle while avoiding movements that can worsen diastasis recti.
The Tupler Technique® exercises are a key component of the program, and consistency is crucial. Julie Tupler, RN, the creator of this technique, emphasizes the importance of performing these exercises correctly to maximize their effectiveness. They help in repositioning, protecting, and strengthening the connective tissue, ultimately reducing the gap between the separated muscles.
Step 2: Wearing a Diastasis Rehab Splint®
The Diastasis Rehab Splint®, a specialized abdominal splint designed by Julie Tupler, acts as a "training wheels" device for your belly. It provides gentle, consistent pressure to hold the separated muscles together, promoting the healing process.
Wearing the splint as instructed is essential for proper diastasis rehab. It helps maintain the correct alignment of your muscles and supports your core as you go about your daily activities. The splint is comfortable to wear and can be easily incorporated into your daily routine.
Step 3: Developing Transverse Muscle Awareness with Activities of Daily Living
Healing your diastasis recti isn't just about the exercises and splint. It's also about becoming more aware of your transverse muscles during your daily activities. Julie Tupler encourages her clients to incorporate the Tupler Technique® principles into their everyday lives.
This step involves learning how to engage your transverse muscle correctly when performing actions like getting in and out of bed, sitting up, or lifting objects. It's about retraining your body to rely on the transverse muscle for support and stability, which contributes to diastasis recti repair.
Step 4: Getting Up and Down Correctly
One of the common mistakes that can worsen diastasis recti is improper movement, especially when getting up and down. The fourth step of the Tupler Technique® Program focuses on teaching you the correct techniques for these movements.
By getting up and down correctly, you reduce the strain on your abdominal muscles and connective tissue, helping them heal more effectively. This step is often overlooked but plays a vital role in the overall success of the program.
In conclusion, the Tupler Technique® Program is a holistic approach to diastasis recti repair. By following these four steps—doing the exercises, wearing the Diastasis Rehab Splint®, developing transverse muscle awareness, and mastering proper movements—you can work towards a stronger, flatter belly.
