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.

back pain
It is impossible to know if you are in correct WW posture. In order to serve the most women, I had to teach the posture in written (and now visual on YouTube) form instead of insisting that all the information flow though classes and certified teachers. The trade-off is I cannot see if you are doing it correctly.
Don't worry about your lumbar curve. If you are holding your head and shoulders correctly and are pulled up in your chest with your lower belly relaxed, you will be holding your organs forward.
Take it slowly and alternate the posture with lots of rest. Almost everyone complains at first, but it becomes very natural with time.

thoughts on back pain
Hi nordic31
It's possible that, in trying to get the posture right, you're holding yourself with too much tension and tightening your muscles. I think the key is to allow your body to release into the posture, just allow it to happen gradually maybe. As Louise has posted before, if you focus more on the upper torso, the lower part tends to just fall into place. I heartily endorse Christine's reply from personal experience - you can't force the lumbar curve into being and it's quite possible to think that you're in posture when you're not. If your usual posture until now has been radically different from WW, it's a good start just to stop holding tummy in and tucking bottom under. I think of non WW posture as not taking up the space that your body really wants to occupy and WW posture as allowing your body to expand into its rightful space in all directions, upwards and outwards. Please keep reporting back and asking questions because the posture really does work and it's well worth persisting. Judith

my favorite posture example

It *is* the posture, and a picture that is worth a thousand words. Masai, like you said :-) How is your posture comparing to this? I think you might have some ache in retraining your back muscles. But pain, no.
best wishes!
