Mind Over Matter: Healthy Bowels, Healthy Bladder


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 invites women to join them for a “Mind Over Matter” series at Cargill United Methodist Church located at 2000 Wesley Avenue, Janesville. The series will take place on three Tuesday
mornings from 9:30-11:30 am on September 2, 16 & 30, 2025. Suggested donation is $10 to cover the cost of materials. Space is limited, so register early to reserve a spot! The registration deadline is August 22nd.

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 or email: Lisa.messer@co.rock.wi.us.

Editor’s note: The Rock County ADRC has previously indicated to The Whitewater Banner that they welcome non-Rock County residents, space permitting.
