Welcome to the Whole Woman Village Forum!

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.

Can lumbar curve lead to back pain?

Submitted by gwriterz on January 17, 2015 - 12:42am

Body:

Hi! I just have a question. After adopting the Whole Woman posture on a consistent basis, I'm experiencing back pain. Has this happened to anyone else? I'm wondering if there is such a thing as "too much of a lumbar curve." As background, I have not had surgery, but have prolapse. I had an individual session with Christine, which was most informative and also purchased and read her book and have been doing some of the exercises.

Any helpful information to help me understand what I may be doing wrong will be greatly appreciated!

Whole woman posture, once

Whole woman posture, once fully adopted, should not cause back pain unless you are over exaggerating it or you may have other underlying issues.
Whole woman posture is our natural form that we should have had our entire life, so it isn't some new thing that we are just doing for prolapse. Prolapse happens when we are not in our natural form.
You may want to go over the checklist of the principle of posture and make sure you have them all down. Maybe even getting in some good whole woman walking and the exercises could help. Anything to keep the strength of posture in place is good for us.
I have been doing this for over 2 years, and while I had some initial aches and pains that went away within a few months, I only feel better than I ever had before. And, I even had very severe hip pain going into this which resolved from doing the work.
Hope some of this helps you.

back pain

You didn't mention how long you have been working on the posture. Many of us had some twinges as our bodies were re-learning natural posture, as it is quite a departure if you've been sucking in your gut for a long time. It's possible to overdo at the beginning. And you never need to try and force a lumbar curve. If you lift the chest and relax the belly and breathe through the belly (not into the chest) it will take care of itself. We are constantly answering questions about back pain on this forum. If you are doing the work seriously, consider checking in more regularly and following some of our discussions. Take it easy, go slow and steady. - Surviving

I have only been working at

I have only been working at the new posture for a few months. My back does not hurt any more but it was pretty painful in the beginning when I was being an over achiever and trying to,figure it all out. It is still very confusing, and I am no where near figuring it out...but my back does not hurt any more. We are all a work in progress and need to be gentle with our learning curve.
