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.

Kneeling chairs
Hi Red Arrow - If you put "kneeling chair" into the search box above left, you will find many discussion threads on this topic. I've never used one and I haven't perused these threads, but I expect you will find discussions pertinent to how well members find they can hold the Whole Woman posture in these chairs. Probably fine as long as the chair isn't one that moves around too much. But.....do some reading for yourself. Start with the home page and learn about the principles we teach here.....first things first! - Surviving

Kneeling Chairs
Hello Surviving, thank you for your response. Yea, I found a couple of old threads on the topic and what's interesting is that the concept of kneeling chairs has been around for quite some time.
I also did some digging around on the topic and while studies into the issue report mixed findings (as per usual) the general consensus is that kneeling chairs can indeed help with lower back issues, especially among people who sit for extended hours at a time.
The trick, obviously, is in the angle, which minimises the pressure on the spinal disc. There are additional benefits that come with the chair, but it's not without its downsides either - prolonged use at a time (as with every other chair) is not recommended as it affects circulation and there is also the issue of restricted leg movement.
The overall takeaway is that no single chair is a panacea, though - as are standing desks and what-not. Guess there are many intangible benefits of working at Google then!
Here are some helpful references I found for anyone interested:
