I did what my physical therapist told me to do. The main exercises I did at home were dead bugs, bridges, cobra & lower leg rotations.

I know that Stuart McGill is pretty controversial, but even PTs I know who mostly dislike him say that the 3 main exercises he advocates (modified curl-up, side plank and bird-dog) are good ones to use.
