Ask Physio Kath - is it too late to fix my abdominal muscle separation after pregnancy?

Send us a text Still noticing tummy weakness months (or even years) after having your baby? You’re not alone. In this episode, I answer a member’s question about ab separation — and share why it’s never too late to feel strong again.

When a gap might need professional assessment — and why fear, not the separation itself, often holds women back.
