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.

newbie vault pain
Hi and welcome TMR00,
Aches and pains are common when first instating the postural work. Shifting the outer framework realigns the pelvic interior and the guts often protest. You don’t describe sharp, knife-like rectal pain - but I like to let women know it is very common and transient, usually related to spasming of the pelvic floor muscles. It can be very alarming, though.
The cervix is attached to the back vaginal wall, which is attached to the intestines just above the front rectal wall. In this posture the uterus is being pulled forward by the round ligaments and it is taking the entire vault region with it - intestines and all. I think your intuition has probably correctly identified that pulling process, which is very good.
Any pain that intensifies or will not relent should be examined by a doctor, but what you describe sounds completely normal. Stay with it - but in a gentle way as you have the rest of your life to do this work. It will become very natural to hold your body in this way as your musculoskeleton grows strong and stable, and your prolapses are reduced.
Wishing you well,
Christine
