When I first “cracked the code” on stabilizing and reversing prolapse, and wrote and published Saving the Whole Woman, I set up this forum. While I had finally gotten my own severe uterine prolapse under control with the knowledge I had gained, I didn’t actually know if I could teach other women to do for themselves what I had done for my condition.
So I just started teaching women on this forum. Within weeks, the women started writing back, “It’s working! I can feel the difference!”
From that moment on, the forum became the hub of the Whole Woman Community. Unfortunately, spammers also discovered the forum, along with the thousands of women we had been helping. The level of spamming became so intolerable and time-consuming, we regretfully took the forum down.
Technology never sleeps, however, and we have better tools today for controlling spam than we did just a few years ago. So I am very excited and pleased to bring the forum back online.

massage
I highly recommend massage as one of the best adjuncts to this work. That said, my prolapse is worse afterward! That's not surprising though, given the deep relaxation cultivated through massage. It's not a problem though! Prolapse is improved ONLY while we are upright - either sitting or standing. And it is not a situation where the supports relax and therefore worsen symptoms for the long run. These are very dynamic bodies. A rubber band stretches - returns - stretches - until it stretches out. Our living bodies do not behave that way, but have a huge range of dynamic motion well into old age.

I've never really had a professional massage unless you count my fellow students when I was in PT school as professionals (I wouldn't!)
but I've taught dh a thing or two, and a good massage is relaxing, but it has the opposite effect on my prolapse than on christine's. I find once my hip/thigh muscles are relaxed (they tend to be tight) I can better stand in the posture. same for my neck and shoulders. pain anywhere leads me to stand hunched over, massage gets rid of my pain.
I think that the risk of overtight muscles is worse than the risk of relaxed muscles(so long as they arent weak).
and christine's right, our muscles, so long as there isn't anything else going on, don't stretch out permanently.
massage feels good! I recommend.
