Help to stop Bedwetting in Geelong

Bedwetting in Children

Bedwetting symptoms can vary in that some children never have dry nights, they sleep through bedwetting episodes and don't realise until the morning,  while some can wake up while they are wetting the bed but it is already too late, Others may get up out of bed to go to the toilet at night sometimes, but at other times have an accident.
Sometimes children feel embarrassed about wetting the bed and I feel it is important to allow the child to feel comfortable with the therapist by building a friendly and trusting relationship with the child.

How may Bowen help my child to stop wetting the bed?

Bowen works with the nervous system and may help to strengthen the signal between the bladder and the rest of the nervous system including the brain. Children may report having a much stronger sensation of 'needing to go' which helps wake up deep sleepers. Most children who have come to see me have previously tried using bedwetting alarms without success because either their children sleep too deeply and don't wake up from the alarm, or only a small amount of urine has leaked and the alarm hasn't gone off. Bowen instead may help to stimulate the 'inner alarm' by creating a stronger sensation of needing to go to the toilet.

Another way Bowen may help is in the way that it relaxes the muscles. The bladder is also muscular, and when it is relaxed it is able to expand more and hold more urine, therefore reducing the need to go to the toilet.

These actions working together may help children to remain dry at night.

When might my child stop wetting the bed?

Typically children may stop, or greatly reduce the frequency they wet the bed after three sessions spread over 3 weeks. Although everybody is different, often there may be improvement after the first or second session. The 3rd session works to help reinforces the inner communication between the bladder and the brain helping the treatment to hold and may help your child to remain dry long term.

Very occasionally I have had children return to the clinic in a month or so for a top up treatment, but many children may remain dry.
