Enuresis
Physiotherapy helps treat bedwetting by strengthening the pelvic floor muscles , which improves bladder control. Through specific exercises, it reduces urinary leakage and promotes better urination habits, thus offering a non-invasive solution to this disorder.
What role for physiotherapy?
The management of enuresis is not solely based on physiotherapy. It begins with an assessment , advice on drinking and urination habits , checking for constipation, and, depending on the case, specific treatment such as an alarm . Physiotherapy can be helpful when there are associated problems, including poor pelvic floor coordination, inappropriate urination habits, constipation, or difficulty emptying the bladder completely.
When to consult a doctor?
An evaluation may be appropriate if your child regularly wets the bed after the usual age for nighttime dryness, if they also experience daytime urinary incontinence, urinary urgency, constipation, or if the situation significantly impacts their well-being. A recurrence of bedwetting after several months of dry nights also warrants medical attention.
