Description: Diastasis Self Assessment

This was really thorough and so helpful to assess! I thought mine was much worse than it actually is.

Sierra

Interesting. Better than I thought mine was

Jill

Stephanie

This was very helpful. I had no idea about this kind of stuff before now!

Cianna

This was tricky for me. Maybe because I had 3 c sections. There’s a lot of squishy but higher up below sternum wasn’t so bad.

Jacqueline

Great way to tell where you’re at in your progress and an easy explanation to everything!

Moriah

Brooke Smith

This always feels so tricky to me, tbh. But I think my reading was that I have little to no diastasis. The top was ~1 finger width, first knuckle depth and medium firm. Belly button: 1 finger width, first knuckle depth and a little more squishy but still somewhat firm. By my pubic bone basically just felt firm, but I could maybe sink a fingernail depth in.

Hannah Anders

I’m gonna be honest I have no idea what I’m doing or what I’m feeling, and that’s not your fault. Your description was great! I think I got a clear enough read that as time progresses and I go through the program I’ll be able to recognize changes.

Shawnna

This was a helpful description! I really just have some separation above my belly button but also the skin just looks indented right above my belly button. Will this get tighter ?

Danielle

Lianna

Angela

I really have no idea what I'm feeling on my own belly! I feel like I'm digging around so much and not sure if I can feel a gap or not, let alone measure it or determine the firmness!

Kamielle

Width Top 2 fingers 
mid/belly: button is 3, 
Pelvic: bottom 1. 

Depth: Top 1 knuckle
Mid/belly button: 1 1/2 knuckle bouncy

Lauren

Valerie

This was great! I’ve done my measurements before, but this was the best description I’ve ever heard and the most help.

Caitlin

Jesse is so kind as she provides education. You can tell she really wants to support you in your journey.

Sidnie

Okay - so when I lift my head up am I tightening the core muscles? If so, there’s definitely a gap. If I don’t tighten anything, it’s flat and squishy and I can’t find a gap anywhere. Is there a natural gap when you crunch up - is that what I understood from the video?

Laura

Keep these measurements in your back pocket! 
Check back with them around 4weeks from now!

Lindsay

Very informative and made me realize a few things I didn't know was an issue

Kirsten Matkin

Your Pelvic Floor & Core Canister

Very interesting. Very informative Funny how we just go through the motions/habits with having any idea.. When you know more you want to do better..

Pilar

Adriana

Kaira

How to Breathe

Yeah, my posture is all sorts of messed up 🫠

Katherine

Amazing I knew my posture wasnt best but make since why things hurt.. I think my posture is similar the 2nd to last one you mentioned. I know I slouch my shoulders forward and I actually have been have consistent upper back pain..

Posture Breakdown

I would say I have hyper and am experiencing pain associated with this; curious to hear more…

So informative! Have yet to do an assessment but will soon!!

Kylie Hays

What is happening in my Pelvic floor

Easy explanation! Easy to know which disfunction you have

Emily

I know I have a hyper PF and underneath is a very hypo/weak PF

Katie Summers

Hypotonic PF Info

Brooke

The body is just amazing! This was so so so helpful.

Jaclyn

Hypotonic PF Connection & Cues

Feels like a missing piece falling into place. I assumed I didn’t have enough time down there, now I’m realizing I’m hypertonic and the tension is creating my dysfunction. So good to know.

Savannah

I have most of these symptoms…lower back pain, glute clenching, upper ab gripping…most recently leaking, more often in the middle of the night/first thing in the morning.

Well, this is absolutely me! Hoping I can loosen these muscles. C-section 33 years ago and  vbac 30 yrs ago. Uterus removed 22 yrs ago. I thought I had a pulled undercarriage muscle and maybe the episiotomy scare tissue was hurting, but couldn’t figure out why now.

Hypertonic PF Info

So helpful and informative!! I have had two c-sections in the past, and I have already started to see such improvement just one week into this program! Thank you!

The options you give us to help find what works for us is amazing.

Wow! Things are so tight I can barely feel the change when breathing!

Hypertonic Pf Releases & Cues

Great modification ideas! Looking forward to trying these.

Thank you this helps a ton. And I like how you say on some days because that is so true!
