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.

Welcome Charlotte
I think we might be the only two women on this forum without POP! My perspective on WW is that while it is obviously brilliant for POP, it is also a return to the normal way of being in our bodies and how we hold ourselves that we have lost through the years for various bizarre reasons. As women, we have been sold a faulty line about how to hold our bodies and this poor posture combined with other factors has cost many women more than I can even imagine. As far as your disc and SI joint problems, you are going to have to be the judge of what is safe for you and how it is helping. I have been returning to normal posture ala WW for the last 6 month or so and it was not exactly straightforward due to scoliosis and massive SIJ dysfunction, but some trial and error has me feeling better today than I have in years. So listen to your body and make adjustments where you need to for your specific problems and know it might take some time but will be well worth it!

discs and stuff
Hi Charlotte
I agree with Aza. I have a dicky neck, and I have to be very careful with head circling, particularly backwards, which I do not do. I have had herneated discs and have found little problem, as long as my movements are always controlled, and never to the point of pain. My discs are in better shape than they were. However, I suspect that some of my 'disc' pain in the past might have been related to prolapse and not discs, but not sure about that. I am sure though, that some of my disc problems were caused by but tucking and over-straightening my lumbar curve, which would have put uneven loads on the wedge-shaped lumbar vertebrae. Also, tucking my butt made my hamstrings and gluteal muscles chronically tight, and my SI joints unstable, which made it very hard for me to do WW posture easily. I had to learn to stretch them regularly.
Just go carefully and slowly. Don't try to keep up the pace. It is doing the exercises that is important, not keeping up with somebody else's pace. Use the barre or a chair to stabilise yourself when doing the standing exercises. You are the best judge of your body.
