Class Details:
Mind Over Matter: Healthy Bowels, Healthy Bladder (MOM) is a researched and proven program designed to give women the tools they need to take control of bladder and bowel leakage. Join a MOM workshop and learn strategies for preventing or lessening symptoms including information sharing, group activities, simple exercises, and dietary changes. With practice, these new skills are proven to help you avoid or reduce leakage so you can keep doing the things that matter most to you.
MOM is:
- Short and Sweet: 3 sessions, each lasting between 2 to 2.5 hours, every other week for one month
- Comfortable: Limit of 8-15 women fosters trust & privacy
- Community-Based: Led by a trained female facilitator
- Interactive: Engages women to work together to set and meet personalized goals
- Fun: Incorporates social interaction, tasteful humor, and fiber filled snacks
- Effective: Improves bladder symptoms for 71% of participants and bowel symptoms for 55%!
Bladder or bowel leakage is a common problem for many women – especially as we get older. But there are solutions you can try – without medication or surgery – to help you avoid or control these symptoms.
Mind Over Matter is for women who... *
- Are aged 50 or older
- Live independently in a home or apartment
- Have experienced bladder/bowel issues OR are interested in preventing them
- Can attend all three scheduled workshop sessions.
* MOM is not appropriate for women with acute illnesses (cold or flu), severe hearing/vision loss, or dementia. To get the full benefit of MOM, you should be able to make changes to how you eat and drink, change the timing of your fluid intake and bathroom breaks, and do low-impact exercises in a seated position. If you cannot make these changes, MOM is not appropriate for you. If you are experiencing pain in your lower abdomen or pelvis or see blood in your urine or stool, you should talk to your health care provider about your symptoms before signing up for MOM.
Suggested Donation: $15
