What is the Perrin Technique?

Dr Raymond Perrin, a registered osteopath, devised this therapy in 1989. In his book The Perrin Technique (Hammersmith Press), he explains his theory that “CFS/M.E. is very much a structural disorder with clear and diagnosable physical signs, including disturbed spinal posture, swollen lymph vessels and specific tender points related to sympathetic nerve disturbance and backflow of lymphatic fluid.

The fluid drainage from the brain to the lymphatic channels moves in a rhythm that can be palpated during cranial osteopathic techniques. A trained practitioner can feel a disturbance of the cranial rhythm in CFS/M.E. sufferers.

The Perrin Technique helps drain the toxins away from the central nervous system and incorporates manual techniques that help stimulate the healthy flow of lymphatic and cerebrospinal fluid and improve spinal mechanisms. This in turn helps reduce the strain on the sympathetic nervous system."

What does it involve?

During the initial consultation, which usually takes around an hour, the practitioner will carry out a physical examination and take a detailed case history. Based on Dr Perrin’s theory, they will make a diagnosis and tell you how long you might expect the treatment to continue.

Treatment during subsequent appointments involves massage of the head, neck, back and chest areas, using light pressure and a gentle pumping motion. You will also be shown gentle daily exercises to encourage toxin drainage.
