Nocturia
Waking up one or more times in the night to pass urine (known as nocturia) can leave you feeling tired, drained, and unable to get restorative sleep.
Symptoms of nocturia
Nocturia is defined as waking at least once during the night to urinate, often caused by overactive bladder, pelvic floor muscle changes, fluid shifts, or hormonal changes. It may be linked with other health conditions such as sleep apnea, diabetes, or heart disease, and can lead to poor concentration, mood changes, and reduced overall wellbeing.
Treatments for nocturia
At Lift and Revive, we take a holistic, physiotherapy-led approach to managing nocturia, focusing on understanding and addressing its underlying causes.
Your treatment may include:
Pelvic health physiotherapy to assess bladder and pelvic floor function, breathing patterns, and posture — all of which can influence bladder control and nighttime urgency.
Lifestyle and bladder training strategies such as adjusting evening fluid intake, optimising bladder habits, and supporting better sleep routines.
Advanced, non-invasive technology using the Emsella chair (to enhance pelvic floor muscle strength through electromagnetic stimulation).
While the Emsella chair is not specifically designed for nocturia, many people notice improvement when pelvic floor and tissue health are optimised. During your consultation, we’ll explore your overall health picture and create a tailored plan to help you sleep more soundly and feel more refreshed.
