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.

Also
I also wanted to say that the physical thereapy sounds a lot like the things mentioned here on this site. Keeping your hips in alignment and then the stomach vacuum, as I call it, coupled with a hard kegel...is simply amazing. I can suck it all back up in and feel the air enter and exit the vagina ( I think alemama mentioned that once?). The therapist I have is great, and she NEVER mentioned surgery! All these things I do to maintain even though I don't feel the cystocele any more. The therepist said I was a "pro" and all thanks to the info from this site!!!

postpartum
Hey Proudmama
It is lovely to hear that your postpartum healing has gone well. It does happen a lot. We just don't usually read about it here! Thanks for posting it. My guess is that you will get around to running later.
Interesting that your therapist didn't mention surgery. Her world view is physical therapy. Gynos and Ob Gynos have a surgical world view. Often they don't even mention physical therapy. Sometimes having a skewed view can be very helpful, because it doesn't plant doubts in women's minds.
Cheers
Louise

Wow! Thanks for sharing! It
Wow! Thanks for sharing! It gives all of us postpartum mommies hope! I go see my PT on Monday. She had talked about postural retraining, so I'm going to find out if she has the same philosophy as Christine!
