Doing Tupler Technique Pregnant with Baby #5 in TOW!!

So many people ask me if they can do the Tupler Technique while pregnant!  YES!!!  In fact I wish EVERY Pregnant Mom would do these while pregnant!  It would sure prevent a lot of the distressed looking abdominals and diastasis I see POSTPARTUM!!

This is my THIRD pregnancy doing the Tupler Technique – my FIFTH one in all! 

USUALLY people show sooner and sooner with each subsequent birth.  Why?  Because the diastasis DOES NOT close on its own.  With each birth, if you don’t close the diastasis in BETWEEN births, you will show sooner and sooner with each pregnancy becuase of the weak connective tissue and the diastasis being wider and wider with each pregnancy.

So I get asked – Why don’t you show?  When are you doing to show?  Do you not show because of your “exercises” you do?  YES!!  Its ALL ABOUT PREVENTION!!!!!

6 weeks pg with #5



12 weeks pg with #5
19 weeks pg #5
  
 
5 1/2 months pg with #5
 
 
So what if you are in the MIDDLE of your pregnancy and you haven’t been doing the Tupler Technique all along?  NOT A PROBLEM!!  They are very intrinsic exercises and can be started at ANY point in the pregnancy.  I had a lady in one of my classes start when she was 7 1/2 mo. pregnant.  The class ended when she was 9 mo pregnant and she had totally closed her diastasis AS the baby was growing quickly and the belly was expanding quickly.  I have another pregnant lady in one of my classes that just closed hers as she is 6 1/2 mo pregnant after only 3 weeks!!
 
The ONLY DIFFERENT TO the Tupler Technique when you are pregnant?   DONT WORK THE KEGEL MUSCLE AT The SAME TIME (which naturally wants to work!)  While working the trasnverse muscle, you MUST RELAX the pelvic floor so you have the mind body connection for PERFECT PUSHING when it comes time for labor. 
 
BACK ACHES?  Keeping strong recti muscles are SO key to preventing pregnancy backaches!  If I ever find an achy lower back during pregnancy, then I bust out a set of Seated Tupler Contractions – and DONE!  Taken care of!
 
LAST THING – SPLINT SPLINT SPLINT while pregnant.  I can’t emphasize enough how much this has helped me!  I splint most nights and at various times during the day.  My diastasis is still closed BUT, it helps keep the recti together and keeps a strong mind body connection as the belly expands.  You will also show much less!
 
Here’s to one more pregnancy with the Tupler Technique!!!
 
 
 
 

Mom of Multiples with TRIPLETS before and after Tupler photos!!

I have commented before on how GREAT the Tupler Technique is for MOMS OF MULTIPLES!

I have been working with a cute mom in her late 30s who just had triplets.  When I first started working with her her triplets were about 4 months old  2 1/2 months ago.  She has done fantastically!

Client AR splinted all the time, and was very good about doing her 10 sets of seated tuplers after week 4.  (During the first 3 weeks, we build up to the 10 sets by doing 3 to 5 sets, then 5 to 8 sets).
She is very careful to watch her body mechanics of getting up and down correctly from bed, and from seated position  – not always easy with triplets needing things quite often!  This client has EXCELLENT form.  We noticed on week 10, her upper transverse was not engaging quite as much as the lower transverse, which is the ONLY reason its not completely closed!  Once her upper transverse muscle engages completely with the Seated Tupler Contractions, her connective tissue is in GREAT condition and the rest of the diastasis should close right away!  Also notice her overall inch loss in her mid-section – 7 inches in all!

For Moms of Multiples – TUPLER TECHNIQUE is SO IMPORTANT because of the intense foreward pressure of the uterus against that connective tissue.  Couple that with getting up and down INCORRECTLY and you have a reciple for ABDOMINAL DISASTER!  You MUST bring the recti together after birth, and shorten the overlengthened abdominal muscles.  Tupler Technique is the ONLY.WAY.TO.GO!!

This client is very athletic, and this was the last piece of the puzzle.  She had great technique and it showed! Her waistline shrunk quite a bit – unbelievable the difference seen in the before and after pics!  Other parts of the waistline were measured and in all she lost 8 inches across her midsection in just FIVE WEEKS! You can note the significantly decreased protrusion of the belly around the belly button, the greatly improved tone of the recti, and an overall fantastic appearance!

The client had a C section that caused her to lose a lot of feeling and connective with her lower abdominals.  She splinted consistently, made HUGE headway and healed her connective tissue and improved her technique until it was rock solid! You can see in her pictures her belly size has decreased significantly.  If you look above and below the belly button in the frontal view, you can see how much the appearance has improved by decreased belly width, her belly button appearance and improved tone.

This client really shrunk her diastasis and had GREAT technique and she splinted.  She was already active and athletic so this was the last piece of the puzzle. She closed her diastasis in the middle by DAY 2 of the workshop, which is 3 calendar weeks.  This is normally the most difficult as it’s the weakest point of the connective tissue. She lost 3 inches across her midsection and her connective tissue is now in great shape!

This client closed her diastasis in the middle, the weakest point of the connective tissue, by DAY TWO of the workshop – which is 3 calendar weeks.  She improved her connective tissue signifigantly on the bottom and top. Her technique is great , she is very strong, and she splinted consistently. She lost 2 inches in her waistline and 4 inches across her midsection! Her technique was great!  You can see in her pictures that her recti have become more pronounced and her belly has shrunken.

 Her skin on her pictures is so much improved.  This was a huge concern of hers since her frame was so small.  Her diastasis in two areas has deep connective tissue, which takes longer to heal and causes more of a “mummy tummy” than shallow connective tissue.  Her technique was great and she splinted consistently.  She cut her diastasis by ½ or more and her over all look of her belly is great improved.  You can see in the pictures on the side profile the skin hangs over much much less. In the top pictures you can see how much smaller her abdominals had become from top to bottom – we worked on shortening her over-lengthened muscles and this improved her apprearance greatly.

The client had her work cut out for her for a workshop amount of time.  5 or 6 fingerwidths distance can take more patience, VERY CONSISTANT EXERCISES and impeccable technique.  Although this client didn’t get as many of the sets that she wanted to get in, she still CLOSED her diastasis in one area, and great improved the others, including making her lower connective tissue from deep to shallow which is a huge step in its healing! !  In the other two areas we measure in inch loss of her midsection she also lost 3 inches!  You can see in her pictures her recti muscles are much more toned and pronounced and the overall apprearance of her belly is much better.

This client had great success in bringing much of her diastasis closed! Her technique is great , she is very strong, and she splinted consistently. In the other two areas we measure in  inch loss of her midsection she lost 3 inches!  Many times more inches off come AFTER the diastasis is closed as you keep doing the exercises.      You can note in her before and after pictures the waistline is becoming more pronounced, her recti and more pronounced, her belly button has improved visually, and the bulge on one side has decreased significantly!

This client improved significantly in her diastasis.  She halved it in the middle, and brought it down even more significantly in the top and bottom section of her diastasis!  Her pics show overall improvement of the belly area , her recti are much more pronounced, her belly button size decreased and her waistline will keep on shrinking – her technique is great and she wears the splint!
