Will exercise fix a 3cm diastasis recti gap or will it require surgery? (photos)

January 11, 2018
Asked By:smerkle1 in Brunswick, GA

I have a 3cm gap and have been doing physiotherapy for about 2 and a half months without seeing my bulge go down but have reduced the gap to about 1-1.5 fingers wide, it was never deep either. I'm just sick of looking 5 months pregnant! Should I keep going with physio or am I wasting my time? Thanks in advance!
