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.

Maturitas
Hi Christine
I do hope you will do a review of the Maturitas article. It doesn't sound good. As if elderly women need anything more to make them think that their bodies are not good enough. I think you can draw almost any conclusion from statistics if you ask the right questions.
I suspect that this research might be about elderly men's sex life improving, more than about elderly women's sex life improving.

A new approach
I thought the use of the stool was the right approach going by the more 'new age' practitioners recommending it. Glad to have read the article, would be good to have more diagrams perhaps in a section of its own ... just to ensure we are doing it right.
Will certainly go with the new positioning - so interesting to see the 90 degree angle mentioned of the ano-rectal situation - I always thought it went straight down - visualisation is very helpful!

Perception vs reality
Hi Takecare
The diagrams we see on the Net, and in books are usually hand drawn, because that is the only way these things can be clearly illustrated. If you look at some of the photographic surgery images on the Net, you will see that the parts are not well defined at all. It is a jungle in the woman's pelvis! Have a look at a Youtube video of a surgical procedure being done and you will realise how confusing it is, with everything pink, red or white, and wet and jelly like, and fascia being 3D, and often very fine and delicate. There are so many layers, and no spaces, or separation at all. It is all just closely packed bags of jello. This is part of the reason why surgery is so actively destructive. So much soft tissue is destroyed, just getting to the site of the surgery. They drawings are all drawn from supine cadavers or scans, so they do not reflect the living, active woman.
As part of WW teacher training I have had to view images from surgery text books. Even the surgery texts have stylised diagrams to explain the structure of the pelvic musculature and organs in relation to each other.
Once you understand a particular feature of the pelvic region its position becomes clear. Having a feel of your own body will reveal a lot more about reality than most of the diagrams.
The classic examination for me is the external observation that my anus is about one inch below my coccyx (and my coccyx is hooked inwards, so the bit I can feel is possibly higher than it should be) , not several inches down, as is the norm in a drawing. So, any drawing I see that has the anus down near the vagina is immediately invalid to my eyes.
Get into WW posture. Feel the bottom of your coccyx with one hand around the back, and the front and back of your pubic symphysis with your other hand at the front. Feel how long your pubic symphysis is, and how much higher your coccyx is than both parts of your pubic symphysis!
Now slouch, and see how these positions change in relation to each other, and you will start to understand the practical difference between the two postures.
You could do similar examinations while sitting on the toilet.
Believe your own body.It is yours to use in whatever way you want to use it.
