What to know about the Perrin Technique and how it works

It is a well-accepted fact that human society today lives in a world where stress placed on their bodies stems from multiple sources. It is not just stressful jobs, meeting deadlines and lack of time to do all that we need to do that places us under a mountain of stress - with our bodies having to bear the brunt of it all, but injuries and environmental factors play a role too. So can the incorrect way that we position ourselves when we sit, sleep or walk.

The problem is that we often don’t face these stress factors in isolation and that the effects of a combination of them can lead to the sympathetic nervous system being overworked due to the accumulations of toxins placed upon the brain and spinal cord – resulting in the various symptoms experienced by patients suffering with CFS/ME.

The Perrin Technique in London

In theory a concentration of toxins found in the fluid circulating in the brain and spinal cord should naturally find their way to the spinal cord, filter into the lymphatic system and exit the body through the liver. Patients with CFS/ME symptoms, however, are unable to drain away these toxins through natural processes, as their lymphatic systems are unable to manage this congestion of toxins.


The Perrin Technique in London developed by Dr Perrin focuses on treating the problems patients experience with CFS/ME through stimulating the movement of fluid around the brain manually to facilitate the drainage of fluid through the lymphatic system. The Perrin Technique in London combines the tender working of soft tissues and the effects of massage to encourage the improved functioning of both the sympathetic nervous system and the lymphatic systems which work in harmony to ease the symptoms patients experience in their bodies.


Patients who also suffering from chronic pain are offered a beacon of hope with the development of the Perrin Technique in London. Many patients receiving the treatment see full recovery from their symptoms over time provided they don’t fall prey to extra stressors.
