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.

Inversion tables ...
Sorry I should have also referred to the inversion tables you can hire where you strap yourself on and then tilt at whichever degree to get the response required from your body ...

inversion tables
Hi Takecare
Like so many devices, some women think they are great, but they do have shortcomings. Hiring one before buying would certainly be a good way to go about it. Udse the search box to find out what women on here have said.
When we lie down, whether on the back or on the tummy our lumbar curve straightens out and our pelvis tilts back, so lying on in inversion table will never approximate WW posture. Also it does involve a certain amount of intraabdominal pressure getting onto it and off it, which can easily undo any benefit that you have gained.
We prefer exercises like firebreathing and nauli, or simply jiggling, while deeply bent at the hip joints. These are all cost free and can be done anywhere, any time, and do not require storage space for the equipment. I would prefer to see you putting your money away to purchase Christine's book and DVD's.
Whichever way you do it, inversion exercises will have temporary beneficial effects, but used in conjunction with other techniques, posture, clothing design, diet and the way we use our bodies in everyday activities, it will gradually adjust the configuration of our pelvic organs so that each get back to where they belong in the longer term.
It also involves moving your small intestines out from underneath your sacrum and making your pelvic diaphragm more vertical, so the intestines cannot slide down behind your vagina again. You might not quite understand this yet. I have only just figured out how it happens myself, and I have been around here for years and spent considerable time studying it all. The book will help you to understand the whys and wherefores of it.

Thanks for your response I
Thanks for your response
I would also like to know if there is preferred position for sleeping - that is, if the standing and sitting posture assists, perhaps we can develop habits for sleeping.
These may have been covered before so apologies for repeating - I have ordered the book and DVD but as with anything from the US it could take a month to get here ...
Maybe there is a good habit to get into - currently I tend to sleep on my stomach with my right leg bent upwards - probably to stabilise the hip and lower spine and minimise movement.
Thanks

sleeping
Hi Takecare
You can Search the Forums using the Search box to find some initial answers to your questions. Also have a look at the FAQ's, up the top of the page.
Sleeping really doesn't seem to matter because gravity is working at 90 degrees to normal, so there is really nowhere for anythng to go. If you cough a lot at night it is probably good to get the lumbar curve happening but apart from that, it doesn't seem to matter.
