Rectus Abdominus Strain

I am currently doing physical therapy for a strain of the rectus abdominus. I originally strained the muscle (the lower portion) moving a heavy cabinet about a year ago. The pain came back when I moved a heavy object about 2.5 months ago. I went to physical therapy for a month, but I didn’t start it until about 3 weeks after the onset of pain. I’ve completed my physical therapy with the therapist’s blessing. He told me to continue my exercises at home and call him with any problems. The discomfort is diminishing but not entirely gone. How long does this type of injury take to fully heal? I’m still taking it easy on the muscle and do my exercises, but some days it flares up and is quite uncomfortable. Is this a normal part of the healing process? Is there a guage of how long this will take to heal? Thanks for your time,Jimi
