Although I’m not certain exactly what condition you’re referring to, I can say the most ideal way to work your abdominal muscles is NOT crunches and sit-ups. Particularly for a beginner OR someone who is looking to strengthen their core for stabilization and balance especially and not purely aesthetic purposes.

Full body exercises, particularly those done while standing, can optimally engage your core. For example, merely doing shoulder press WHILE standing versus sitting can engage your core. Also, doing one side of your body at a time, so, single-arm shoulder press would engage your core even more than merely standing.

I would recommend hiring a trainer if you’re looking to help strengthen your core in a rehabilitative manner, as they can (with approval from your doctor and/or PT) help you gain back any lost strength and movement and get you feeling like you did before whatever happened.
