This week Bree and Emilie talk with Shelby Weger, a chiropractor who lives with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and loves to work with EDS patients - just in time for EDS Awareness Month! Emilie gives a shortened version of her presentation on EDS, Bree talks about her journey to diagnosis, and Shelby talks about bodywork and the role of a chiropractor in management of EDS symptoms.
