Q: is having a tight anal spinther the same as a tight pelvic muscle or are they two different things? thank you?

: Different. Think of the muscles as donut shaped, designed to pull the area closed like a purse string. Two separate areas have a separate purse string. There are some shared background muscles, but the closure sequence &amp; muscles difer for the separate areas.
