Here is the link to the 10-minute exercise routine to heal your upper diastasis recti gap (causing an upper belly bulge): https://youtu.be/i0lNFxxrXSw

A diastasis recti bulge above your belly button is often caused by a widening of your rib cage, which increases the infrasternal angle. This widening pulls on the delicate tissues of your linea alba above your belly button, causing a bulge. We aim to strengthen both the external obliques to pull your ribs back towards a 90-degree angle and your transverse abdominis (TAs). We also want to ensure good posture to prevent flaring your ribs out.

If you have a tight back, this stretch is great: https://youtu.be/L-ZP0dss5g0?si=sWB0b7leIyKEW9iE
