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.

It is not uncommon to get a few aches and pains when starting something new and unfamiliar. I remember my calves feeling quite tight when I first started those exercises.
I would definetly slow down with them, and throw in some whole woman walking to balance out the calf muscles.
Best wishes.

Walking
Thank you Aging gracefully!
I normally go for a 45 minute walk at daybreak but the last two days have been really busy with late nights so I have missed them. Maybe that's the cause of the cramps.
Slowing down a little on the ballet exercise and more walking makes great sense.

Hi Bubblyfish53,
Hi Bubblyfish53,
I have had cramp at times in my feet, and less often in the calves, and it usually resolves itself, however I do take Magnesium orotate but more for helping with regularity.
I had to straighten out all my limbs very slowly - I had no idea how contracted they were and still have some morning stiffness, ( I started doing my WW exercises later in the day for some reason ( body knew best), and now it is hot will need to do them in the morning ) so take things gently.
The calf stretch is very useful for this and also the soles of the feet to prevent plantar fasciitis. A simple but very effective stretch.
I don't walk enough so aim to get more of into my days!
All the best,
Aussie Soul Sister

Calf Cramps
Hi Bubblyfish53
I had very sore calfs for my first few days, maybe weeks in WW posture. It's amazing how much I was not using my calfs in 'normal' western posture.
I have been doing WW posture for nearly 2 years and I have not done some of the advanced stuff yet. I used to throw myself into everything and push too hard but I take a slower road now. The letting, go and relaxing road has done me so much good - it was a gift of prolapse for me.
The other day I got very little sleep to do with sick kids and my prolapse was right down in the morning. It was just a reminder to me how important rest is too.
All the best on your WW journey.
