"This is to thank you, Gillian, and the entire Tummy Team for the fantastic result I obtained using your program.
I hope my result might inspire some others. If a 71 year old male with a fairly severe diastasis that had persisted for several years can make a full recovery then I would think just about anyone could.
My problem began at least eight years ago and kept getting worse. My stomach protruded so badly I looked pregnant, not an attractive “look" on a man. I consulted two board certified plastic surgeons who told me this could not be helped with exercise and that the only “cure” was surgery. I tended to believe them because the many abdominal exercises I had tried did nothing. (It turned out, as I learned from Gillian, that these exercises were exactly the wrong kind to do.) The surgery, however, leaves a large scar, takes months for full recovery, is quite expensive, has an uncertain outcome and also carries with it the risk of serious infection, among other things. I did some research online and found the Tummy Team right here in my own area. I was a bit skeptical this would work in my case. It appeared to be effective in younger people, especially post-partum women, but I had doubts it would work in an “antique” like me, particularly after having been present for so long. Nonetheless, it seemed worth a try, given that the only alternative was major surgery.
Not too long after starting the program with Gillian I departed on a long world trip that made it more difficult to do the exercises and wear the splint, but, thanks to the expert advice Gillian gave me, I was still able to make good progress while traveling. I continued after returning and in less than four months from the point I first started the program I had complete closure of my diastasis. I can now look at myself in the mirror without wincing. I lost four inches around the middle without any loss in weight and have a flat belly again.
I find it amazing and highly gratifying that something I had suffered from for years could be cleared up in just a matter of a few months. The exercises were easy to learn and follow, and the splinting, which I had feared would aggravate my chronic acid reflux, actually seemed to make it better. My chronic back pains have also significantly improved. I still wear the splint at night simply because it makes me feel more secure and continues to help with the nocturnal reflux.
I can’t thank you enough Gillian.
To all at the Tummy Team: Keep doing this great and much needed work."
David from Vancouver, WA
David had an 6 finger deep diastasis and a 38" belly when we started with him. He was seen for 4 session and completely resolved his diastasis and measured 34" at his belly on his final Tummy Team appointment. He was 71 and had been dealing with this for over 8 years.
It is never too late. Let us help you!
