The Perrin Technique
At West Perth Osteopathy, we are proud to have three qualified Perrin Practitioners on our team. The Perrin Technique, developed by Dr. Raymond Perrin, is a specialized osteopathic approach designed to diagnose and treat chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) and long COVID. This innovative technique has been instrumental in helping many individuals regain their health and improve their quality of life.
What is The Perrin Technique?
The Perrin Technique is based on the premise that CFS/ME is caused by a disturbance in the lymphatic drainage of the central nervous system. This disruption leads to a buildup of toxins in the brain and spinal cord, contributing to the debilitating symptoms associated with these conditions. The technique involves specific osteopathic methods to stimulate the lymphatic system, enhancing the body's ability to remove these toxins and promoting natural healing.
