I had severe DR (4+ finger width separation) and I disagree with Kobajo84 and anyone else who claims that surgery is the ONLY option. I’ve successfully closed my DR to only 1 finger width and Im confident it will be completely closed soon…. this is from months of engaging my transverse abdominis CONSTANTLY and reiki healing. I researched online, consulted with physicians, consulted with DR experts, and purchased the MuTu system (however I didnt follow the MuTu program…. I learned that I totally suck at following programs!! but I do believe the MuTu system is helpful)…. Unfortunately it was the physicians who were least knowledgeable. Learning to measure the gap is key so you can measure your progress.

For pole dancing with DR, my suggestion is to engage your transverse abdominis, and avoid anything that you cant keep your transverse abdominis engaged while you do it. Spins are ok. Avoid inversions until significantly healed. As you become intimate with your abdominals and knowledgeable about what to avoid (planks, sit-ups, etc) then you’ll gain intuition about whether a certain pole moves are harmful to DR or not.
