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.

Hi cherryblossom and welcome.
Hi cherryblossom and welcome. It sounds like you have made a wonderful start.
All of the links are active, but not all of them work on all devices/browsers/security settings. Lanny is troubleshooting these on an ongoing basis; meanwhile, try them on other platforms if you can, and give us more detail as to where you are experiencing problems. No guarantees, as some of these clips are done using previous technologies.
All the exercises can be modified as needed. The important work of posture correction and belly breathing for optimal pelvic organ support, is done when we are on our feet.
Enjoy the journey, feel free to ask anything here! - Surviving

Hi Cherryblossom
I share your enthusiasm for this site even though I have been following the advice here for over a year. Welcome to a great body of women and knowledge! I am retired and also in UK and can sympathise with the knee probs. I follow the DVD ' First aid for prolapse' on a regular basis and can see what amazing knees Christine has! I use a yoga mat and rolled up towel to kneel on and a small cushion under my bottom when I kneel back as this seems to help a lot . There r some seated movements I believe ,perhaps on the Hip video? I used to have very painful knees from sports injuries but since giving up sport and doing lots of walking in Wholewoman posture my knees are much stronger and hardly hurt at all. One secret I think is to make sure that your knees and feet are parallel ,not turned in or out. I find trainers with gel linings helpful too,from Asics. The book is an amazing read and also something u will dip into again and again. Good luck :)

Thank you both!
Thank you both!
Surviving, I will try the videos in another browser, thanks for the tip. It's good to know that many of the exercises can be done standing, or modified in other ways.
everhopeful, thanks for the support and encouragement. It would be wonderful if my knees do improve, I'm so impressed to hear that yours have. I am working on the parallel feet already :)

cherryblossom - hello and
cherryblossom - hello and welcome!
The most important thing is to learn the posture and keep doing it.
The Hips DVD has a very effective chair exercise section.
I found the whole DVD a wonderful foundation to do everything from.
Christine explains benefits while we do the exercises and it is so informative.
I recommend it often for everyone!
Apart from hip and pop issues, one of my symptoms was knee pain while climbing stairs, now no more, and now I can sit cross - legged for increasing periods of time with lessening knee pain on the inner side under the knee cap while and after sitting.
I am now doing much more floor sitting now to increase my torso and work on my legs. I take it slowly, and gently, however I notice improvement with persistence.
Christine's approach is so holistic that so much improvement is possible over time.
I have been doing this for about 3 years now, and what an amazing journey this has and is!
Wishing you every success, take it slowly, with consistence, listen to your body and have fun,
Aussie Soul Sister

Thanks, Aussie Soul Sister!
Thanks, Aussie Soul Sister! More encouragement re the knees. It's wonderful to know that improvement is possible.
I experimented with kneeling on a pillow today, just to see what it was like. Just for a few seconds, as I've been so scared to try. And it was OK - one knee was a little sore afterwards but nothing like as bad as I'd feared. It must be ten years since I last knelt!! I will take it VERY slowly though.
Yesterday I practised the posture and sat in it comfortably, and felt much better. Today I have stupidly managed to get constipated so back come the symptoms of the POP. It's a rollercoaster ride!
But now i have HOPE which is just wonderful :))
