Long Covid can affect people in different ways, and no two experiences are identical. Some individuals notice that symptoms improve for a period and then return, while others find that fatigue and related issues remain persistent. For anyone searching for a private long covid clinic near me in London, it can be helpful to explore approaches that are specifically designed around the patterns commonly reported in Long Covid—particularly ongoing fatigue, fluctuating symptoms, and nervous system strain.

Rakhee Osteopathy supports patients managing Long Covid fatigue using The Perrin Technique, a structured osteopathic approach that is also used in CFS/ME presentations where clinically appropriate.

Long Covid Fatigue and Why Symptoms Can Feel So Debilitating

Long Covid fatigue is often described as more than “tiredness”. It can involve reduced stamina, slower recovery after activity, disrupted sleep, and cognitive overload. Alongside fatigue, some people experience:

  • Breathlessness or chest tightness

  • Muscle aches and joint pain

  • Headaches and nerve-type pain

  • Dizziness or balance issues

  • Low mood or anxiety symptoms

Support may involve a combination of appropriate medical input and careful symptom management strategies. Rakhee Osteopathy’s focus is on an osteopathic approach centred on The Perrin Technique, with treatment tailored to the individual.

The Perrin Technique and Its Relevance to Long Covid

The Perrin Technique is a specialised osteopathic treatment approach that aims to support the body through:

  • Lymphatic drainage support, encouraging improved fluid movement and drainage pathways

  • Gentle cranial techniques, used to address strain patterns and support fluid dynamics around the head, neck, and spine

  • An emphasis on autonomic nervous system regulation, relevant where symptoms suggest the body is stuck in a prolonged stress-response pattern

Within this clinical framework, Long Covid symptoms are commonly discussed in relation to lymphatic congestion and autonomic nervous system dysregulation, which may contribute to fatigue, pain, breathlessness, and dizziness.

This is not presented as a guaranteed cure. Outcomes vary, and any improvement—where it occurs—may be gradual and dependent on individual factors.

What Patients Can Expect at a Private Clinic in London

At Rakhee Osteopathy, patients are typically taken through a structured consultation to understand symptom history, day-to-day impact, and relevant medical context. A plan may then include The Perrin Technique where appropriate.

The Perrin Technique protocol is commonly described as:

  • Weekly sessions initially, to create consistency and track response over time

  • Awareness that some individuals may experience temporary symptom flare-ups before settling or improving

Where symptoms suggest medical investigation is required, patients may be advised to liaise with their GP or specialist alongside osteopathic care.

Activity Guidance: Pacing and Energy Management

Exercise-led recovery narratives can be unhelpful for some people with Long Covid fatigue, particularly where symptoms worsen after exertion. Management is more safely framed around:

  • Pacing and energy management

  • Reducing “push-crash” cycles

  • Practitioner-guided self-care consistent with the Perrin Technique approach

If movement is discussed, it should be patient-specific and only recommended by the treating practitioner.

Nutrition Mention

Some individuals choose to review diet as part of general wellbeing while managing Long Covid symptoms. Nutritional advice is not being provided. Patients should consult their GP, dietitian, or qualified nutritional therapist for personalised guidance.
