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.

I've done that one
it is wonderful for building big muscles along the lower spine and upper glutes as well as the hamstrings. I wouldn't be too worried about prolapse with that one unless you specifically feel pressure in your vulva/vagina.
glad you are strengthening your back and butt- that will help so much with the pain- it sure does help me.

Exercises OK?
I totally agree with Alemama. If you feel it in your vagina, just don't push up so high. I am sure your PT would advise this. Check with her. The obtuse angle thing is more about things like lying on your back, lifting both legs together and where you flatten your spine and brace your tummy muscles, which makes your torso c-shaped and pushes your pelvic organs backwards, so they are more putting pressure on your vagina.
You will feel it in the vulva if the exercise is wrong. Sometimes you can alter the way you do the exercise to eliminate that horrible full feeling, without losing the benefits of the exercise for your back or tummy. Or your PT should be able to give you a different exercise that is easier on your pelvic floor.
Ask her about these things when you go. Having POP is nothing to be ashamed of, and it is very important that the physio knows you are dealing with POP as well, so she gives you only exercises that will not worsen your POP.
