Conditions
Brief summary
The purpose of the trial is to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles which control urinary continence. The basis for this trial is the 1990 Integral Theory' discovery that three involuntary muscle forces control bladder continence and evacuation. It is known that squatting strengthens the muscles and the ligaments against which they contract. The hypothesis is that this non-invasive method will strengthen the closure forces and their respective ligaments and so restore continence at night.
Interventions
10 squats every day, morning and evening, ongoing. Squatting fully and pushing upwards.
Compliance by parent, and recorded in a special book.
Review by principal investigator and an independent doctor in the clinic at 4 weeks and again at 6 months.
