So.. I had my second official physical therapy appointment yesterday and I am sore! I must be working something correctly.
Karen warned me that my abdominals might be sore today and she was right. 5 minutes on a rocker board is difficult work!
She also gave me some exercises to do at home which are mostly pilates moves that I've done before. Thankfully I have all of the equipment to make the exercises effective, a small ball, a large exercise ball, and a theraband.
I haven't measured my stomach again. I have no allusions that this will be a quick fix. Recovery from pregnancy will take a while.
Just a note: I am not a medical professional and if you are suffering from diastasis recti, I really urge you to see a physical therapist if possible. It is really nice to have someone's guidance for this condition.
