Question on how the posture works on prolapse over time

Body: 

Hello,

I believe I have a basic understanding of how the posture works. I can see how lifting the chest, relaxing the belly, and maintaining the lumbar curve can create the tilted pelvis, encouraging the pelvic organs to move forward rather than back.

What I don't understand is how, over time, the organs are supposed to start staying up and forward, rather than gravity continuing to pull them down. If today I am in posture, and the organs don't move forward, how is it that by maintaining the posture over six or twelve months, they suddenly or gradually start staying up? Doesn't the posture mainly help to keep the prolapse from getting worse and not necessarily improve the prolapse?

I am so appreciative of Christine's work and don't mean to sound doubtful, but I really want to understand this.

Hi marric,
That is a fair question. Because many of us weren't in the correct posture to begin with, and especially as we get older, we have to expect it to take time for our bodies to take on the natural posture we actually had as children. And, depending on the severity of the prolapse, it can take up to 12 months or even years for some to see more improvement. This can be a matter of maintaining current prolapse issues, and even seeing more improvement over a longer period of time.
Hope that helps some.

Marric - this is why is it so important to train your body and mind to hold correct posture all the time. Yes it is a gradual process and as AG says, the older you are, the longer you have been doing it wrong, as they say. You will still have up and down days for the rest of your life, and those down days are a reminder to stay mindful. I saw much more improvement in subsequent years, than I did in the first 6 or 12 months. This isn't something you "fix" and then you're done. There is no cure as such.....it is maintenance. But it does work! - Surviving
