In this session, vocal physiotherapists Lucie Rayner and Thanh Thi Tran will explore how voice users can understand hypermobility and it’s effects on the voice and how to understand when help or guidance should be sought, covering the following topics:
Hypermobility

The signs and symptoms
When and where to find help and support
