Will my diastasis recti heal on its own? (Photo)

Asked By:denvermom37 in Denver, Colorado

I am 37 and have an 18 month old and 3 year old. I have a 2.5 finger width diastasis recti that I have been working with a pelvic floor physical therapist to heal but have had little improvement. Is a tummy tuck my only option?
