Chronic Fatigue Relief London: CFS/ME Support with The Perrin Technique

Living with CFS/ME (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome / Myalgic Encephalomyelitis) can be exhausting and unpredictable, with symptoms that may affect energy, sleep, cognition, and pain levels. For anyone seeking Chronic Fatigue Relief London, it is important that guidance is realistic, patient-centred, and aligned with approaches that are specifically designed for CFS/ME presentations—particularly where post-exertional malaise (PEM) is present.

Rakhee Osteopathy supports patients with CFS/ME using The Perrin Technique, a structured osteopathic approach that focuses on lymphatic drainage support, gentle cranial techniques, and autonomic nervous system regulation, following Dr Raymond Perrin’s protocol.

Practical, Cautious Strategies That May Support Day-to-Day Management

The suggestions below are not a substitute for medical advice and should be adapted to the individual, particularly if symptoms worsen after exertion.

Support nervous system regulation with relaxation (patient-specific)

Many people with CFS/ME find that stress can worsen symptoms. Gentle, low-demand relaxation practices may be helpful for some individuals, such as:

Slow breathing or guided relaxation
Mindfulness practices adapted to tolerance
Short, restorative rest breaks (rather than pushing through symptoms)

If relaxation methods increase symptoms (for example, headaches, dizziness, or sensory overload), they may need modifying or reducing.

Osteopathic support centred on The Perrin Technique

At Rakhee Osteopathy, care for CFS/ME is centred on The Perrin Technique, which is designed to address common CFS/ME patterns through:

Lymphatic drainage support
Gentle cranial techniques
Autonomic nervous system regulation

Treatment is not presented as a guaranteed cure. The aim is careful, structured symptom management and functional support, recognising that response varies.

Rest, Sleep, and Pacing

Prioritise rest and stabilise routines (where possible)

Sleep disturbance is common in CFS/ME. Some people find it helpful to keep routines consistent and reduce stimulation before bed. If sleep remains persistently disrupted, it may be appropriate to discuss this with a GP to explore contributing factors and symptom support options.

Pacing rather than “pushing through”

Because PEM is a core feature for many patients, management is typically framed around:

Pacing and energy management
Avoiding “push-crash” cycles
Keeping activity within an individual’s current tolerance

General exercise programmes should not be presented as a default strategy for CFS/ME. If movement is discussed at all, it should be patient-specific and only advised by the treating practitioner.

Nutrition Mention (Required Disclaimer)

Some individuals explore diet changes as part of general wellbeing when living with fatigue. Nutritional advice is not being provided. Patients should consult their GP, dietitian, or qualified nutritional therapist for personalised guidance.

Emotional Support and Validation

CFS/ME can affect identity, relationships, and mental wellbeing—especially when symptoms limit work, social life, and independence. Some people benefit from:

Peer support groups (online or in-person)
Counselling or psychological support to help cope with the practical and emotional impact
Family education and support planning

This type of support is not presented as “treating” CFS/ME itself, but as a way to reduce distress and improve coping capacity alongside symptom management.
