The key to healing diastasis recti is rebuilding your core from the inside out. You need to strengthen the transverse abdominis (TVA) muscle, which is the deepest abdominal muscle and can provide support for those muscles that have been stretched. Below exercises will help Umbrella breathing with kegel. Pelvic tilt on with hands and knees. Kneeling with leg and arm extension. Lying back and toes and tap on. Single leg reach. Leg extension with weights. Also many are there but you need to perform this with expert supervision at first then you can practice this at home daily.
