When you focus on the pelvic floor through vaginal weights or Kegels, you isolate only one piece of a complex system. By spot treating the pelvic floor, you leave out other very important players in pelvic floor health which are the respiratory diaphragm, multifidus, transverse abdominis, gluteus maximus, lateral rotators of the hips and the feet (yes the feet!).

In this article, I look at natural and mechanical ways to improve prolapsed uterus. A prolapsed uterus is a result of a weakness in the supporting structures of the organs such as muscles, ligaments, and fascia.
