Women’s Incontinence Program: Mind Over Matter: Healthy Bowels, Healthy Bladder
Did you know that more than half of women age 50 and older experience issues with bladder or bowel control? These problems can be slightly bothersome or totally debilitating. For some women, the chance of embarrassment keeps them from enjoying many activities, and many times, takes control of their lives.
If you struggle with incontinence issues, know you’re not alone. A program offered through the Aging & Disability Resource Center (ADRC) can help. Mind Over Matter: Healthy Bowels, Healthy Bladder is a workshop designed to give women, age 50 and older, the tools they need to take control of their bladder and bowel symptoms. The workshop provides information, group activities, and simple exercises and dietary changes to practice at home. Please note, if you are a woman, age 50 and older and are not currently experiencing any bladder or bowel symptoms, you are still able to benefit from this program to delay or prevent any bladder and/or bowel symptoms from developing. It is never too early or too late to begin!!
Join us virtually for Mind Over Matter on all three of the following dates:
