If you’re experiencing persistent rectal discomfort, difficulty with bowel movements, or pelvic pain, you’re not alone—and help is closer than you think. Many adults in Chandler and the surrounding Phoenix Valley turn to pelvic floor physical therapy as a safe, effective, and non-surgical solution to restore comfort and function.
At Advanced Hemorrhoid Centers, we specialize in non-surgical hemorrhoid treatment and anorectal care, often working closely with pelvic floor therapy professionals when symptoms overlap. If you’re considering pelvic floor therapy, here’s what you should know—and how to choose the right local specialist.
What Is Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy?
Pelvic floor physical therapy focuses on strengthening, relaxing, and improving coordination of the pelvic muscles. These muscles support the rectum, bladder, and reproductive organs—and when they’re too tense or too weak, you might notice:
- Rectal or pelvic pressure
- Difficulty fully emptying the bowels
- Chronic constipation or urgency
- Anal pain, itching, or spasms
- Painful hemorrhoids or fissures
- A feeling of incomplete relief after bowel movements
Many of these symptoms can mimic or worsen hemorrhoid and anal fissure problems. That’s why a coordinated approach between a skilled anorectal specialist and a pelvic floor therapist is key.
When Is Pelvic Floor Therapy Recommended?
Pelvic floor therapy may be part of your care plan if you’re dealing with:
- Ongoing rectal pain or spasms without clear surgical cause
- Persistent anal itching, especially when not responding to topical treatment
- Recurrent hemorrhoid flare-ups tied to constipation or straining
- A history of anal fissures that don’t fully heal
- Muscle tightness following thrombosed hemorrhoid or skin tag removal
- Difficulty relaxing during bowel movements or anoscopy exams
At Advanced Hemorrhoid Centers, we start with a detailed evaluation—including anoscopy, symptom history, and examination—to determine if pelvic floor dysfunction may be contributing to your discomfort.

FAQs
Is pelvic floor therapy the same as hemorrhoid treatment?
No—but the two often overlap. If pelvic muscle tension contributes to straining or spasms, pelvic floor therapy can support better outcomes after hemorrhoid banding or fissure treatment.
Can I do pelvic floor therapy and hemorrhoid treatment at the same time?
Yes, and it’s often ideal. Your hemorrhoid doctor in Chandler or nearby will work with your pelvic floor specialist to create a combined approach that accelerates healing.
