A member asked:
I am wondering if an abdominal binder helps with diastasis recti. i have about 3 finger widths gap and my son is 9 months old. (also wear w/exercise)?

That works!: Belly binding wrap around your torso to help close the diastasis recti gap, 'hold you in', and add support to your lower back.

Maybe: You might want to look at "Slendertone" which is a tonic nerve stimulation device that can strengthen your abdominal muscles and draw them back in quicker. Used daily/passively for a half hour you may see response within weeks.
