Diastasis Recti

2018-11-16 17:40:54
I had a c section delivery, 3 months back. I have a 4-5 finger gap between my rectus muscles. Wanted to know what treatment should I take? Is it possible to get it treated or at least get the gap reduced through physiotherapy?

please do not do crunches unless other core muscles are strong.
