A workshop developed at the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Medicine and Public Health for women 50 and older. The sessions are designed to give women the tools they need to take control of their bladder and bowel symptoms.  The workshop consists of three 2-hour sessions every other week. It provides information and activities along with simple exercises and dietary changes to practice at home. Even if you don’t have leakage symptoms now, it’s never too early or too late to learn at-home techniques and exercises to help prevent or improve symptoms..
