Anorectal Pain in Pooler

Specialized Pelvic Floor Therapy for Rectal Discomfort, Burning, and Pressure

If you’re struggling with unexplained rectal discomfort—burning, aching, or pressure—you’re not alone. These symptoms are frequently misunderstood or minimized, leaving many feeling helpless and without answers.

At Savannah Pelvic Health and Wellness, we take your concerns seriously. Our team focuses on treating anorectal pain through advanced pelvic floor physical therapy that addresses the true cause—gently, respectfully, and without invasive procedures.

What Is Anorectal Pain?

Anorectal pain refers to discomfort around the anus or rectum and can present in different forms:

• Sharp, stabbing pain
• A dull, persistent ache
• Burning or cramping sensations
• Throbbing or a sense of heaviness

These symptoms may occur consistently or intermittently and often intensify with sitting, bowel movements, or stress.

Possible Causes of Rectal and Anorectal Pain

Even if scans or medical tests appear normal, rectal pain often stems from pelvic floor dysfunction—when the muscles and nerves of the pelvic region aren’t working as they should.
Common contributing factors include:

• Excessively tight or spasming pelvic floor muscles
• Nerve involvement, like pudendal neuralgia
• Scar tissue from childbirth, injury, or surgery
• Habitual straining or chronic constipation
• Postural misalignment contributing to tension
• Emotional stress stored within the pelvic area

Without proper intervention, this pain can persist and impact your comfort, routine, and emotional health.

• Pelvic floor muscle training for better coordination and relaxation
• Nerve mobilization techniques for irritated pelvic nerves
• Breathing strategies and biofeedback to calm the nervous system
• Bowel retraining to support smoother, pain-free elimination
• Postural and movement correction to ease pelvic stress

Frequently Asked Questions

What causes rectal pain if my medical tests are normal?
Even when imaging or diagnostics show no clear issue, rectal pain often results from pelvic floor dysfunction—when muscles or nerves in the pelvic area are overly tense, imbalanced, or irritated.

Can pelvic floor therapy really help with rectal discomfort?
Yes. At Savannah Pelvic Health and Wellness, we’ve helped many clients find relief by addressing the root causes—tight muscles, nerve sensitivity, or scar tissue—through personalized, non-invasive therapy.

Do you perform internal treatments?
When appropriate and with your full consent, internal techniques may be included to access deeper muscle layers. These are always done respectfully, in a safe and private environment, with your comfort as the top priority.
