Together Tummy is a book about diastasis recti (separation of the outermost abdominal muscles)a condition that has been ignored by the medical community. A condition that people don't even know they have because they have never even been checked for it. So they go from doctor to doctor to find out what is wrong with their bellies. Many times they go to a doctor to get treated for the side effects of this condition which show up as back pain, pelvic floor, and GI problems. When being treated for these problems, a diastasis recti is not even considered in their medical evaluation. Diastasis recti can also put a pregnant woman at risk for a C-section. When people are diagnosed with a diastasis, they are either told to have surgery, live with it, or do crunches. Crunches actually can create a diastasis or make it worse! So the purpose of this book is to bring diastasis awareness to medical professionals and the general population as well.

Diastasis recti (the separation of the outermost abdominal muscles) is a condition that is not well known throughout the medical community. Together Tummy provides natural techniques you can do at home to reverse and prevent health problems associated with Diastasis recti.

Pregnancy naturally separates a mother's outermost abdominal muscles to make room for her growing uterus. Called a diastasis, this separation doesn't fully close up in 98 percent of new moms. The larger the diastasis, the weaker the muscles and the greater chance for mom to develop back problems down the road. Of perhaps greater concern for moms, new and veteran alike, the larger the diastasis, the bigger the belly that just won't seem to go away after baby's delivery!Lose Your Mummy Tummy introduces the Tupler Technique, a set of deceptively simple abdominal and breathing exercises that decrease the diastasis and result in a firmer, flatter, and stronger belly. Like Kegels-those all-important and privately-practiced pregnancy exercises-the Tupler Technique can be practiced almost anywhere and at anytime. Including illustrations for a 15 or a 30-minute at-home exercise routine, Lose Your Mummy Tummy ensures: A tighter, flatter stomach A smaller waistline A reduction or elimination of back pain The ability to safely lift your baby and heavy objects More energy Better posture The perfect preparation for your next pregnancy
