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.

plantar fasciitis
Stay in the posture and work extra hard to stretch your calf muscles several times a day.

stretching
try walking around barefoot as much as possible. a good foot massage might help too. and you probably already know this, but avoid wearing high heels. not only do you want to stretch the calf muscles, but also the muscles in the arch of your foot.

Hi Anne-helen
I developed plantar fascitis a few months ago. At first I had no idea what it was - I just knew it was painful to walk. Walking is my favorite form of exercise and stress relief, so this was a big deal. My daughter is a cross-country runner, and she consulted her coach who suggested that it might be p.f. He recommended arch-supports. I have flat feet (fallen arches), and I had worn orthopedic shoes as a kid - with built-in arch-supports. Anyway, long story short, I bought some Dr. Scholl's gel arch supports, put them in my walking shoes, and the pain disappeared within a day or two! I use them all the time now (if your're in the US, I found the best place to buy them is Target - much cheaper than drug stores).
Happy feet, happy walking!
