Love this program! I have seen massive results in under 12 weeks in healing my diastisis recti. The program is laid out clearly and is easy to follow. I highly recommend this program to any mom with diastisis recti!

38 y/o Mom of twins finding inner strength!
I've been on and off this program for a year now. I just finished Reclaim Light after two pregnancies, the second pregnancy being twins, which really destroyed my body.
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to stick to the daily plan and complete the 84 day plan in well.... 84 days. Upon signing back up this past May, I finished Reclaim Light, and moved onto Reclaim Classic. I went from 2cm DR to 1.5cm. I probably would have seen better results if I was more consistent... like 'not taking off the entire Winter' kind of consistent.
I will say what brought me back was not only the desire to close the gap, but also because this is THE ONLY program that has helped me with my lower back issues related to an injury in my 20s, which was only exacerbated with my two pregnancies in my 30s. Every time I got back on the wagon after falling off (because life happens and it's so easy for us as Moms to make excuses for why we don't come first!) I noticed my lower back pain going away. I'm extremely active as a runner, yogi, and pre-COVID times a fan of the 'Body Pump' program. I consider EM to be one part of my fitness and training journey, but I also think it's a critical component, in that not all other programs, classes, or exercises will take into consideration what a Mother's body has been through.
Taking off one star only because I couldn't figure out how to get from Reclaim Light to Reclaim Classic once I felt stronger (and was one of the reasons I left my membership lapse). My guess is if you select the Reclaim Light program, they really want you to finish the whole thing. Also, agree with another user, that the script in the video segments for CCs is sometimes a little too fast. Like Spinal Twist CCs. Users should be allowed to relax in that position for a moment before engaging. I found myself having to pause the video, which was fine, but a brief 5 second pause, to allow the spine to release into the pose would be more beneficial. Also, I just can't figure out the parts of the Total Body workouts that require stepping up and around a stool. Would prefer to have a video breakdown for some of those more complicated movements as practice for the slightly uncoordinated...LOL.

Hi Courtney, thank you for this wonderful review. We are happy that you are finding relief for your back pain with the program.
Great notes about changing Paths. We have passed those along. It is possible to change Paths at any time by clicking on the Guided Paths tab. We have also noted that you would like a little more time when entering a position.
Keep up the great work in your Path. We are always available to answer questions and/or offer support & encouragement in the EM Village.

I feel this has helped me and would help other mothers post pregnancy with diastasis recti. For me, I have really tight back muscles due to an autoimmune disease so my diastasis didn't close up after the program but it did help some. I think if I were a normal case that these exercises would have really helped.

Hi Amanda, we are happy to hear that you are having a great experience with Every Mother. Hopefully you have been able to explore some of the Restorative and EMbody Yoga workouts to help release tension.

I was looking for info on DR when I found Every Mother: the only website to give accurate, helpful information, great problem solving in case any additional info is needed and I cured my DR. I wish I had known about this website years ago

It's a good app
It's a good app. I just feel that sometimes it doesn't give me enough time to get into position or not enough information to get the right posture.
Response from Every MotherJun 10, 2021
Thank you for this feedback. We are happy that you are liking the app experience. As you continue in your Path and become more familiar with the moves it will get easier.

Worth your time!
I have thoroughly enjoyed this program! Having a specific routine to follow is so helpful. This is my second time starting the reclaim program due to having another baby... yes—I loved it that much the first time around, and I definitely saw results! I felt stronger and the gap between my muscles was closing. I went from a 3 finger width gap down to 1 and 1/2 before getting pregnant again.

Every Mother has changed my life
Every Mother has changed my life. As a mother of 2, I was even more frustrated recovering from my second birth in getting my body stronger. I injured myself with an umbilical hernia by working out intensely not knowing I had diastasis recti. I was feeling even more so defeated not being able to work out "normally" like other young women my age. I stumbled upon Every Mother and it's been a life saver. I am stronger and know more about my body to push it effectively without causing more injury. I love the accountability and village present to help as needed!

I love this program!
I love this program! I have learned so much and this is the only program I have stuck with consistently. I enjoy having program options depending on my time and work out desires. And I like that this is geared toward fixing postpartum bodies.

Very happy that you are learning about diastasis recti and loving the Workout library, Rebekka. Thank you for your review.
