Did you know that more than half of women over age 50 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 can take control of their life.
A popular workshop in Rock County can help! Mind Over Matter: Healthy Bowels,
Healthy Bladder is a workshop designed to give women, age 60 and older, the tools
they need to take control of their bladder and bowel symptoms. The workshop provides
information, group activities, simple exercises and dietary changes to practice at home.
The workshop consists of three, 2-hour sessions over the course of a month. Dedication
to the series of three classes is required. This is a workshop for females, taught by a
female.
The Aging and Disability Resource Center (ADRC) of Rock County invite women to
join them for a “Mind Over Matter” series at The Gathering Place (senior center) in
Milton. The series will take place on three Friday mornings from 9:00-11:00 am on
July 10, 24 and August 7, 2026. Suggested donation is $10 to cover the cost of
materials. Space is limited, so register before July 2 nd to reserve a spot!
To learn more, or to register for the series, contact Health Promotion
Coordinator, Lisa Messer, of the ADRC of Rock County by calling: 608-757-5309

Editor’s note: The ADRC of Rock County has previously indicated to The Whitewater Banner that residents of other nearby counties are welcome to participate in their programs as space allows.
