Another question regarding exercising with Rectocele

Body: 

I have a long standing back problem as well as my rectocele. I had a prolapsed disc L3/L4 which has now healed but I do suffer form occasional lower back pain and also pain in my trapezius muscle up into my neck which is the one that bothers me the most.

Having listened to Christine's video I suspect some of my upper back pain may be due to my posture which I am now trying to rectify along with the correct toileting positioning.

Osteopaths, physios are always wanting me to do Pilates which aggravated it and I stopped doing them.

What exercise is permissible, I do swim ( brawl) and cycle on a bike with support at the back on the gym, is that ok?

Everyone has always banged on about strengthening my abdominals because of my disc.

I am slightly confused so any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi Irishgirl,
The most important thing is to get your body into a nice strong posture. It is the posture that allows us to have the strength to do these other activities. You will find over time which things throw you out of posture and which are very conducive to it.
Christine's exercises in her videos are a great way to help shape your body into posture, as well as your daily posture work. Of course, you are going to have to be especially mindful with you back issues. A consult with Christine may be helpful for you also considering the disc surgery.

This is a question for Christine.
In addition to Christine's First Aid for Prolapse and Yoga wheels. I use this tool:
Sports Hoop® - Trim Hoop® 3B - 3.1lb (Dia.41") Large, Weighted Hula Hoop for my daily workout, and wonder if this is good or bad for my prolapse problem.
