Perrin Technique at The Magnolia Therapy Centre, Nottingham

Perrin Technique - For M.E., Chronic Fatigue and Fibromyalgia

The Perrin Technique™ is based on Dr. Perrin’s theory that different stress factors whether physical, allergies, emotional or infections lead to an overstrain of the sympathetic nervous system. The probable cause of this nervous system overload is a build-up of toxins in the fluid around the brain and the spinal cord. Some of the poisons caused by infection or inflammation in the head or spine flow through channels from the brain into the lymph ducts of the head face and neck. The toxins are also meant to drain down the spinal cord and out into the lymph ducts lying along the spine. In a ME/CFS sufferer, there is a backflow of these normal drainage points which leads to further toxicity and dysfunction of the central nervous system. This leads to all the many symptoms we see in ME/CFS.

The Perrin Technique™ is an osteopathic approach that manually stimulates the fluid motion around the brain and spinal cord to encourage the sympathetic nervous system to function more normally and alleviate symptoms.

Pat Hughes : Perrin Practitioner

Pat Hughes has been personally trained by Dr. Perrin and is the only licensed practitioner offering The Perrin Technique in Nottingham and Leicester.

A relaxing treatment, that aims to detox and rebalance your body, the Perrin Technique has been developed by an osteopath, Dr. Raymond Perrin, since 1989.  It is a manual system of diagnosis and treatment that has been tested in two separate clinical trials and proved effective in helping people with ME/CFS.  Perrin’s research provides strong evidence that CFS/ME involves a disturbance of the drainage of toxins from the brain and muscles.  These poisons often enter the body as viruses, bacteria and parasites etc., or as environmental toxins.

The Treatment:

The treatment aims to manually stimulate the drainage of the offending toxins from the central nervous system.  This is achieved by gentle stroking movements at specific areas of the upper body, combined with gentle manual treatment to the cranium and spine.  Together with relaxation of the surrounding muscles, the Perrin Technique eventually improves the health and function of the body as a whole.

Pat’s clinics run on Fridays.  Pat is not currently taking any new patients.  Existing patients can book an appointment with Pat, by calling the Centre on 0115 960 8855.
