Hi

I am trying to find information on my prolaspe. The doctor does not want to do a hysterectomy(?) at this time. Not sure what that means for the future. He has graded my prolaspe as a Grade 4 out of 5.
Any help, information, and encouragement would be welcomed. I have only had this for a month. I would like to find out what I can and cannot do. I lost 25lbs last year before this happened but find I now have problems doing the exercise programs I was doing then. I do plan on trying to get the video that is suggested on-line.
Help anyone.

thanks
Jill

Hi Jill and welcome,

The video will give you all you need to begin this work. There are really four parts to the work: 1. Understanding that surgery for prolapse is futile, extirpating, and leaves us not only without essential parts of ourselves, but often times with serious nerve and muscluloskeletal damage. 2. Realizing that prolapse requires a serious response from us in the form of paying attention to and caring for our body in a new way. 3. Trusting that our original design has built into it the capacity to bring us back to a place of satisfactory comfort and complete function. 4. Having fun designing the rest of our lives and creating an environment that is far more supportive of the female body than the world we have always known.

Wishing you well,

Christine

Hi Jill,

Well, even if I could see you in person I'm not qualified to evaluate whether you are fit enough to do any or all of these exercises...that's something for you and your doctor to decide. I can tell you that they are not inordinately difficult and can be performed by any woman in good health.

As you probably have determined, how we hold and carry our body is the foundation of this work. I believe the best way to learn the posture is to incorporate it into a daily walking program. It will be challenging at first, because you are re-structuring your entire musculoskeletal system. With time, however, it becomes extremely comfortable and you'll wonder how in the world you ever slumped, slouched, or sucked yourself into a rigid plank.

I can't tell you exactly how it will go for you, but my hope is that the posture will realign your body to the point that you can walk as far as you want in total comfort. I haven't been walking great distances on a routine basis, but that may change as my husband has become a cross-country walker and wants me to join him each morning at dawn.

Please keep us posted, Jill!
