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.

I agree with you. When I stand up
I agree with you. When I stand up against a wall, the only things touching the wall are my upper back (but not shoulders), and my butt. - Surviving
PS: Yes you will get lower back pain, if you try to work into this posture too quickly, or if you exaggerate the curvature instead of just letting it happen with posture. As Christine explains it, it's the difference between a "sway-back" and the wide-radius curve of WW posture.

Thanks so much, Surviving. Maybe if I get lower back pain, it's a signal to rest a bit. You're comments are always so helpful.

That is very interesting S60 and Thriving. I am one of those body shapes that puts any excess weight into my bottom so mine does touch and actually the back of my head slightly. My back is not quite touching and if I touch it I am over extending or pushing my shoulders back.
I would like to hear others comment on this from different body shapes. Sierra and SH no doubt you will be trailing the wall thing :o)

Something on my Head
On this theme I have also played around with walking, standing in posture with things on my head to balance (it doesn't have to be weight bearing Thriving). I do have the chest up, relaxed belly of course not like they probably taught in the early 1900s in the England. I find it helps my crown and the back of my neck to stand tall. I tend to tilt my neck forward or have my vision down a lot generally. I imagine myself looking our over the Savanna/wilderness with something on my head. Modern life is looking down over short distances so much isn't it.
What do others find?

My heels and butt touch, but nothing else.

Golden Mean
Thanks crackle I have been trying different things but yes my butt too and my head can but a few mm away really.
I just got my hips book out and looked at the golden mean WW image. I have a body that shape and I note that I touch like she would. So nice to be on the right track, now I just need to nail my walking in WW posture.
I appreciate we are all different in our body shapes so I think this is an interesting exercise and maybe helps newbies. It would have helped me. Thanks Thriving for posting.

Posture against door
Dear all,
I used a flat plain door as we have skirting boards at the base of our walls.
My heels, backs of lower legs, derriere, shoulder blades (upper back),and back of head touch the door.
My back does not touch the door until the shoulder blades from the bottom.
(My dear Mum used to comment how straight my back was....)
Straightening the spine, pulling in the stomach & or tucking in the bottom protects the back, are commonly held misconceptions.
- Christine's approach is unique which is difficult to believe because it is our natural posture developed as small children.
When new to WWP I went to a standing gathering and had no stress, or back pain/fatigue that night, and that was my first chance to really put WWP to the test.
A good check for me of the posture - thanks for the experiment.

PS. Thriving 70, ( apologies for shortening your name - I try my best to not abbreviate names, though mine is long - something that I didn't consider at the time ;) )
