I came to TummyTalk and Katrin after my two pregnancies, after which I was diagnosed with a rectus diastasis by my gynecologist and given an urgent recommendation to have it surgically closed. However, abdominal surgery was never an option for me, so I looked into non-invasive treatment methods and found what I was looking for with Katrin.
During my second pregnancy, I could already recognize a bulge in my belly during certain movements, which was not normal. After the birth of my second child, my belly no longer receded properly and my belly button protruded. I looked like I was still about 5 months pregnant. I also had pain with sudden, jerky movements in the abdominal area and a few other complaints which, in retrospect, were due to or related to my rectus diastasis.
With the Tupler technique, Katrin gave me a tool with which I could and still can independently restore my body stability. Nevertheless, I was always able to turn to her if I had any questions, especially in the early days, and I got help really quickly. She explained how all the components of the Tupler technique work together, both at the on-site appointments and in the easy-to-understand videos in the online package. There was also a rough overview of why it is important to have a strong core. I was able to see results very quickly, especially when I first started using the Tupler technique. This motivated me immensely to continue, even when I didn't feel like doing the exercises or when it was far too hot with the belt in summer.
All in all, Katrin and the Tupler technique have helped me enormously to get a "normal shaped" stomach and belly button. Although my diastasis is still not closed after a year, this is due to my comfort and not the inefficiency of the program.
Visually, you can see significant improvements compared to before. My diastasis has reduced from 11 cm to 7.5 cm and my abdominal circumference at navel level has decreased by 11 cm. My other complaints have also disappeared.
Overall, I can unreservedly recommend the Tupler technique under Katrin's guidance to anyone else affected by rectus diastasis. It is definitely worth it!
