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.

Good for you!
Daphne, glad to hear about this! Driving is not a very prolapse-friendly activity, for sure. Next time, you need to find something to shove behind the lower back to support lumbar curvature as you drive, especially long distances. I get lazy about this for short drives, but car seats can be murder and it's just one of those things we need to keep tending to.
As for bending, I'd say that what you describe isn't a good way. Tightening the abdomen and pulling it towards the backbone would flatten lumbar curvature, if I am picturing this correctly from your description. Bend from the hips to keep lumbar curvature in place, not from the waist which causes that curvature to collapse. If I bend wrong and then correct myself while I'm down there, I can literally feel my organs shift. - Surviving

Thank you Surviving,
I thought that I could feel that shift difference when I was experimenting. The feeling was almost a happy one, probably it was a happy one. The correction felt just so right and whole. I just finished some standing reach and stretch work that Christine showed in one of her workouts. By the time I had finished the pudendal nerve pain that I've had on and off all day (it usually comes after every BM) persisted a few minutes more after stretching then it stopped. Phew. I may have the answer to the dilemma "in my own body". I'm almost sure that if I continue regular bodywork the muscle/nerve prolapse misalignment will correct itself. I sure don't want to take this issue to a doctor locally. Kind of in the back woods here, but I don't think that matters, since the lack of info on all this is still fairly hard to find. Thanks so much. Don't you just love Christine?! Planning on the hips book next.

So true, Daphne
Absolutely cannot wait for the hips book to come out. I have no hip issues, and after 3 years in the posture I feel like my hips could go on forever! The benefits of this work are infinite. Glad you are feeling it. - Surviving
