Mine are reaaaaaaaaaally bad - physio said the separation was a fist full ........like you i simply didnt have time to do situps either....but just sitting on the lounge watching your fav tv show means you can also do exercises. Pulling your stomach inwards, towards your spine, wearing like a girdle for a few hrs a day.

They generally recommend not to do crunches, any type of exercise until after 6-8 wks anyway......after this time though, i found just doing 20 situps a day did help. It also helped with my back, as i found i was using my back muscles when i should have been using my stomach......

See how it goes.....im a public patient in a public hossi, and i had 2 x free consultations with a physio - both at the hossi and one in her office....
