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.

RE: Alexander Technique
Hi Christine,
Thank you for your explanation. It does change my thinking about sitting. One resource I have read suggests that the back should be straight when sitting. I am referring to "The Alexander Technique Manual" by Richard Brennan. On page 34, it illustrates a child sitting on the floor. The caption reads, "In all activities the child's posture is kept beautifully upright and the spine has a natural straightness that is unnecessarily lost as we grow older..." In recent months I have been applying this concept at the piano, as I found it improved coordination and independence in my upper body. Maybe this exacerbated my prolapse.
I wonder whether it's a mistake to use the child as an example for adult movement. Yes, there are analogies, but there are also differences.
I'm sorry if I gave the impression that I knew of an Alexander resource about female-specific balance and movement. I meant only to ask whether you differed from Alexander on that topic. His recommendations (or those of his proponents) always seem to be presented as generic principles that can be applied similarly to both male and female (with the exception of suggestions for pregnancy, of course).
