Chronic fatigue syndrome/Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (CFS/ME) is a chronic disease that can affect people of all ages and different lifestyles. It can affect those with very active lifestyles as well as those enjoying their retirement. CFS/ME has even been found to affect children as young as 5 years old.
CFS/ME can leave patients with intense lethargy, pain in the muscles and joints and an overall flu-like feeling that progresses over time to the loss of mobility and disruption to cognitive function. This progression will continue until the patient can no longer carry out their daily activities by themselves.
It can be a severely debilitating disease that can have a negative impact on all aspects of your life and those around you. Unfortunately, CFS/ME has been described as the black hole of medicine, and there is no universal diagnosis or treatment for this disease as it varies significantly between patients.
The history of the Perrin Technique
The Perrin Technique in London has been used for over 10 years here at Rakhee Osteopathy, and we are proud practitioners of this osteopathic technique that has helped our patients in the management of the symptoms of CFS/ME.
The Perrin Technique was developed by Dr Raymond Perrin, an osteopath and neuroscientist who had treated a cyclist in 1989 for lower back pain and symptoms of CFS/ME. Whilst using an osteopathic treatment for the cyclist's lower back pain, Dr Perrin inadvertently helped reduce his symptoms of CFS/ME. This encouraged Dr Perrin to begin an investigation into the relationship between osteopathy and CFS/ME. Ever since 1989, Dr Perrin has continued to research CFS/ME, for which he has become highly recognised in his field.
We at Rakhee Osteopathy have been awarded twice for excellence in our practice of the Perrin Technique in London.
