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 keds and welcome. The
Hi keds and welcome. The twisting thing was discussed in this thread:
https://www.wholewoman.com/forum/node/6749
You can go back and read it. Also you can use the search box up above for LoPo, unless someone has a favorite thread they want to post a link for.
Good luck with the WW work! - Surviving

LoPo
Watch a dog or cat defaecating. They don't bend up into a ball. There is a tuck of sorts at the sacrum end of the spine, but the upper spine is quite straight. It is a half squat. Many dogs will kind of waddle around, doing a stool, then moving a bit, then doing another one. I think the waddling is like twisting, but there is some abdominal 'massage' happening too, as the abdominal muscles stretch and contract during the waddle.
How did it get the name LoPo? I really can't remember. It was about learning from how other members of the animal kingdom use their bodies intuitively, rather than adopting a 'method' that somebody else recommends, often because they are promoting a product for financial gain.

Hi everyone. I'm new to the site, but have read Christine's material quite some time ago - before I had a hyst - but unfortunately had one anyway. You guessed it - I now (for a year or so) have a prolapsed bladder. At any rate, I'm now determined to do self-care and am ordering DVD's which will help demonstrate some of the Yoga, seating, postures, etc as I do better by "seeing". Since I tend to be very hard on myself, my mission now is to do self care, as much as I can - probably not perfect, but all helps to some extent. No problems with pain or incontinence so far w/the bladder issue, but want to make all stronger if I can. Already take a class in Chair Yoga and just had discussion w/the instructor and will make alterations so as not to push any remaining organs in the wrong direction.
One question, if anyone can reply, - I have the book but would like to get DVD's etc. to show postures, exercises, etc., so don't want a bundle that includes the book. Any feedback?

Bundles
Hi Greatlakes and welcome. Here's the thing.....the only bundles that exclude the book, also exclude the First Aid for Prolapse DVD, which in my opinion is a must-have. If I were you I would probably get that DVD and maybe the First Wheel Yoga, and then proceed from there. Might be worth a phone call to Lanny in customer service to see what he suggests. Be sure to mention that you are post-hyst. Enjoy! - Surviving
