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.

We're on to something
We're on to something aren't we? I continue to be astounded by the accuracy of the postural work. Thanks, Rosemary. :-)

Exercise, Yoga, and Diet
Hi Christine
I've been doing the exercises in your book - and also started yoga...
I would love to come out to your workshop...but I live in Boston...
Maybe someday...
Qhestion: Did anyone ever noticed a "humped" back and protruding belly in women who had hysterectomies?
I know of 2...one a co-worker and my sister - both of whom had hysterectomies 20+ years ago... is this due to fascial displacement?
It looks as if there is a string attached to the chin, pulling down toward the pelvic area - causing protrusion of upper back and abdomen...
I was diagnosed with ALL 3...prolapsed uterus, cystocele, rectocele...
and am told that surgery is the only solution...I DON'T BELIEVE THAT !
At 57 I decided to give exercise, yoga, and diet a chance...
Bought your books and CD...and will try everything in my power to avoid surgery...
One specific exercise in the book: STOMACH LIFT proves particularly healthy... I can feel my tendons and muscles "pulling" up as if I'm putting on a girdle..all the way up to my ribs...I've learned how to do this in just about any position, even driving...
I'm having trouble with the NATURAL HEALING STAND and need some guidance...because my job requires that I stand and walk most 8 hrs per day...?any suggestions?...
Question 2: is Labia swelling or protrusion a normal symptom with prolapse?
I apologize for the lenghty letter...
Hope someone will respond to my questions and I'm open for suggestions

standing
Hi Mama,
Consider what a great laboratory your job is in which to practice the Whole Woman Posture™!! If you must stand and walk for eight hours, you might as well learn to do it in the right shape! I imagine the trouble you are having is how tiring it is to hold at first. All I can tell you is to try to be light about it. Be gentle on yourself and keep pulling into the posture every time you think about it. It becomes very natural, but this takes time. Yes, labia swelling and protrusion are part of the syndrome, which should recede with this work.
Your observation about hysterectomy is very accurate. I don’t know how across the board it is and believe age at surgery has a lot to do with it, but yes, there is a look very common to this group that includes a wide, flat bottom and hunchback. They seem to develop an egg-like, asexual look unlike other groups. Gross hormonal disruption has got to play a large part, but I think your comment about fascia is interesting as well. I found an orthopedic paper stating the exact center of the mass of the human body is just forward of the second sacral vertebra. That would be the uterus in the female. What possible structure could you remove the hub from and not expect a radical change in the whole?
