How Long Does It Take to Close a Diastasis?

Okay so now you learned that that bothersome pooch in your belly is a diastasis recti and you found out that it can be fixed without surgery, naturally the next logical question is - how long does it take to close a diastasis?


 

Closing a diastasis is all about healing your weakened connective tissue. This is not an overnight process, but, if you follow the Tupler Technique® program as designed, you will see the healing process beginning within three weeks!

 

As a Registered Nurse, Certified Childbirth Educator and Certified Personal Trainer, I developed the Maternal Fitness® Program in 1990. For over 20 years I've been teaching and developing the Tupler Technique® Program for the treatment of diastasis recti for women, men and children and I can say with no hesitation that it is never too late to close a diastasis on anyone at any time.

The program progresses over 18 weeks and your diastasis will be smaller but not necessarily be closed. To close your diastasis may take longer. How long it takes to close a diastasis depends on the severity of your diastasis and your commitment to all 4 steps of the program every day. It can take anywhere from 6 weeks to over a year. But trust me, you will feel and look better within the first couple of weeks. I have seen these hundreds of times with my clients. Listen to what a client of mine has to say about it:

 

 

 

 

It is recommended to take your ‘before’ photos of your belly from the front and the side. Seeing your belly changing will motivate you to continue the program.

 

 

As part of the program, it is necessary for you to wear a specially designed Diastasis Rehab Splint®.  You have to wear the splint until your diastasis is closed.  Once your diastasis is closed you can stop wearing the splint. However, you do need to continue the other three steps of the program to “maintain” the results you have gained. Doing the Tupler Technique ® exercises are good for your belly, back and pelvic floor.

 

 

Lastly, the TUPLER TECHNIQUE® is a proven, research and evidence- based program that has helped countless people like you who suffer from diastasis recti. As a professional with almost 30 years of experience with treating diastasis, I recommend that you don't wait too long to fix your diastasis because I know that the longer you wait, the worse your diastasis will become and it will take longer to close it. 

So, do your due diligence, ask questions and choose your treatment wisely.
