When we think about Olympians, we tend to see them as somewhat superhuman. From their next-level strength to their unmatched discipline, Olympic athletes occupy a space in our brains as untouchable, especially when it comes to their physiques. But, we all need a little help to get our bodies looking and feeling our best from time to time. Take it from Olympic legend Shawn Johnson, who took to Instagram recently to share her abdominal toning journey courtesy of Emsculpt NEO.
Why Shawn Johnson Opted for Emsculpt NEO
While most know Johnson for the array of gold medals she brought home for the US Women's Gymnastics Team over the years, she's since undergone a number of personal milestones, like giving birth to her three beautiful children. As any mother who's gone through childbirth knows, the toll that the experience takes on your body is no joke, even for Olympians like Johnson.
Candidly posting to her Instagram story recently, Johnson revealed that she's started Emsculpt NEO treatments to address the diastasis in her abdomen she's experienced since having kids. Diastasis is a common condition that occurs during pregnancy and post-partum where the rectus abdominis muscles along the connective tissue strip in the mid-abdomen begin to separate to accommodate for the growing fetus. Johnson turned to the RF heating and HIFEM technology featured in Emsculpt NEO—which has been used to help treat the abdominal condition since 2018—to help "rehab" her diastasis, and is thrilled by the results, sharing with followers that she's now "down to only 3 finger separation."
