Nocturia
Waking at night to urinate affects sleep and energy, and it’s incredibly common, with up to 60% of men over 50 experiencing nocturia.
Symptoms of nocturia
Nocturia means waking at least once a night to pass urine. In men, it’s frequently associated with prostate enlargement, bladder overactivity, ageing changes, or systemic conditions like sleep apnoea, diabetes, or heart disease. Interrupted sleep doesn’t just leave you tired; it can impact mood, concentration, and 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.
