I have been using the Tupler Technique to treat my diastasis, with great success to date in improving my appearance and making visible the femininisation of my body that has occurred but was masked by the diastasis. The technigue works by bringing together the rectus (six pack) muscles so that the stretching out of the linea alba, the gristle that connects the rectus muscles down the centre line of the abdomen, so that over time it can lose the stretch and recover its strength. If the linea alba is actually ruptured as it may be in my case, the technique reckons that it will not repair the rupture, although cotinuing the regimen of the technique will keep the diastasis closed.

Annie,

I want to thank you for bringing this condition, diastasis recti, to my attention. I had no idea what it was until I googled it after reading your post. It seems I too have it. mine is in a v pattern from the op of my abs, at the rib cage, to my belly button. I self diagnosed, then went to see my GP.

I will be starting physical therapy for it ASAP. I'm really happy that my food baby has a chance of disappearing!
