A Sturdy Approach to Stretchy Voices: hEDS Unpacked
Description
What happens when the body’s connective tissue is too flexible — and how does that impact the way we speak, breathe, and swallow? In this episode, we sit down with Stacey Menton MM, MA, CCC-SLP, a speech-language pathologist who not only treats patients with hypermobility Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (hEDS) and hypermobility spectrum disorder (HSD) , but lives with HSD herself. Join us as we break down the hallmark features of hEDS and HSD, why symptoms often go unrecognized, and how clinicians can better support patients who live with “stretchy” tissues but very real limitations. For clinicians, patients, and curious listeners alike, we hope this episode offers a grounded and empathetic look at one of the most frequently misunderstood connective-tissue disorders.
