Why Pelvic Health Matters

Your pelvic floor is like the foundation of a house—it holds everything up. When that foundation is strong and balanced, the rest of the structure (your posture, core, bladder control, and even sexual function) works the way it’s supposed to. But when the pelvic floor is weak, tense, or out of sync, cracks begin to show: pain, leakage, chronic tightness, or discomfort during intimacy.

Unfortunately, many women silently endure these issues, thinking they’re “normal” after childbirth, aging, or stress. At Gyno Chiropractic in Oakland, we take a different approach. Through Gyno Fascial Rebalancing™, a unique form of pelvic floor therapy, we combine gentle chiropractic care with internal and external fascial release techniques to address the root cause—not just the symptoms.

What Is Gyno Fascial Rebalancing™?

Gyno Fascial Rebalancing™ (GFR) is a trauma-informed therapy designed specifically for women’s pelvic health. Founded by Dr. Danielle Cornelius and carried forward by her students, I’m proud to be one of the founding members of this technique.

This method blends chiropractic care, pelvic floor therapy, and fascial release into a seamless approach that restores alignment and function from the inside out.

Think of it like untangling a knot: chiropractic adjustments restore balance to your spine and pelvis, while fascial work gently loosens restrictions in the connective tissue and muscles that support your organs. Together, these techniques create more freedom, circulation, and ease throughout your body.

Understanding Pelvic Floor Dysfunction

The pelvic floor is a network of muscles, fascia, and ligaments forming a hammock-like support at the base of your pelvis. These tissues stabilize your bladder, uterus, and rectum while coordinating with your diaphragm and abdominal muscles.

When the pelvic floor stops working smoothly, symptoms may include:

• Pelvic pain or pressure

• Painful intimacy (dyspareunia)

• Stress incontinence (urine leakage when sneezing, coughing, or exercising)

• Bowel dysfunction or straining

• Postpartum instability or pelvic misalignment

• Chronic back or hip pain

Left unaddressed, dysfunction can worsen over time—like ignoring a leaky roof until it damages the whole house.

How Gyno Fascial Rebalancing™ and Chiropractic Care Work Together

A session may include:

• Myofascial Release: Releasing tightness in the connective tissue (fascia) surrounding pelvic muscles.

• Gentle Chiropractic Adjustments: Restoring pelvic and spinal alignment to reduce pain and improve nervous system function.

• Internal & External Techniques: Always consent-based, these techniques target trigger points and muscle imbalances.

• Breathwork & Visualization: Resetting the nervous system and reconnecting you with your body.

This integrative approach may help:

• Improve posture and core stability

• Relieve tension and pain

• Restore bladder and bowel control

• Enhance sexual comfort and pleasure

• Promote faster postpartum recovery

What to Expect in a Session

• Consultation & Assessment: We begin with your story, health history, and goals, followed by a gentle evaluation of posture, pelvic alignment, and fascial restrictions.

• External Work: Myofascial release around the hips, abdomen, and pelvis.

• Internal Work (Optional): With your consent, internal fascial techniques may be used to release deep tension and re-educate the muscles.

• Chiropractic Adjustments: Low-force, gentle techniques to realign the pelvis and spine.

• Breathwork & Home Care: Simple tools you can continue between visits.

Every session is trauma-informed, paced at your comfort level, and designed to leave you feeling more grounded and connected to your body.

Why Symptoms Like Incontinence and Pain During Sex Happen

• Stress Incontinence: When your pelvic floor can’t contract properly against pressure (like during a sneeze), leaks occur. Often due to childbirth, surgery, or weak coordination with your diaphragm.

• Pain During Sex: Usually caused by tight, overactive pelvic muscles or fascial restrictions that limit movement and flexibility.

Both conditions underline one truth: a balanced pelvic floor—neither too weak nor too tight—is essential for daily function and sexual wellness.

The Pelvic Floor’s Link to Posture and Breathing

The pelvic floor doesn’t act alone, it’s part of your core system. With every inhale, your diaphragm and pelvic floor work in sync to manage pressure in your abdomen. When alignment is off, this harmony breaks down, often contributing to pain, instability, or dysfunction.

This is why a combined approach, pelvic floor therapy plus chiropractic alignment is so powerful.
