The prolapse does cause low back pain now and then. The only thing

I've found to help it is to lay down. I assume it's the prolapse

causing it because it's relieved right away when I lay down. My back

does stop hurting that fast.

Your assumption is almost certainly correct. The bladder doesn't

just sit there, floating loose inside the body cavity. It is

connected in a variety of locations with various ligaments and

fascia. The primary attachments are in the front, such as a ligament

to the pubic bone. There are, however, other attachments that

fasically connect to the sides and around to the back. A prolapse

essentially is a situation where the " connections " are weakened and

thereby allow the organ to sag with gravity.

In addition, fascial restrictions can also cause organs within the

body cavity to shift into abnormal positions. They can get turned

sideways, moved forward or back, up or down, etc, and thereby put

pressure on other organs or muscles. And herein lies the treatment

concepts of Visceral Manipulation, Visceral MFR and Chi Nei Tsang

(an eastern medicine version of VM). Treat the attachments and

restrictions to return the organ to its proper position within the

body to restore normal functions.

I don't know enough (yet) about the details of VM and Chi Nei

Tsang. I have had zero formal training so far in VM but have had an

introductory course in Chi Nei Tsang. My sense of things is that

they are basically doing the same thing but that Chi Nei Tsang has

more of an energetic focus/component to it than VM.
