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.

SI Joint pain
Hi Variable - We have no way of knowing if your posture is correct. Adopting WW posture is a big change for many of us, and can cause some discomfort at the beginning, which we work through gradually by not overdoing. Here is one post by Christine that addresses SI pain:

You should do a search on SI joint pain using the search box on this page. I found another post expressing the importance of keeping the chest strongly lifted.
You might want to concentrate on something basic for awhile, like walking in posture. And lots of stretching while flat on your back, with a pillow under the lower back for support. If you did not have this pain before, and you have it now, maybe a consult with a practitioner is in order, to really check all the elements of posture. WW posture is natural and normal, so if you are now having pain, there could be other reasons. Very hard for us to say. - Surviving

Hi variable,
Hi variable,
Before coming to whole woman , I had constant trouble with my sacroiliac joint. When it would go out, I would be flat on my back with pain and stiffness. The only thing that helped me at the time was the chiropractor. I was also doing a lot of heavy lifting at the time, so that could be a factor if you are doing that.
For me, the Christine's exercises really helped stretch out those stubborn joints and surrounding muscles. Whole woman walking and gentle posture work really are important aspects also.
I still get a little nagging pull on that SI joint, but I don't have the pain anymore, and I haven't been to the chiropractor for years. I really attribute that to getting my body back to proper alignment.
So, gently forward and get the extra help you need if you think your posture isn't correct, because SI joint pain shouldn't be a symptom of posture work.
