I've been noticing a gap in my abdominal muscles after pregnancy and heard it might be diastasis recti. Which specialist should I see for this in India and are there any non-surgical treatments that actually work? I'm worried surgery might be the only option

Diastasis recti can be improved with physical therapy focusing on core strengthening; a physiotherapist or plastic surgeon can guide treatment.
