The Perrin technique is an Osteopathic approach to the treatment of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME) / Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), Fibromyalgia and post viral conditions such as post covid.

In recent times, science has proven what osteopaths have long known- the presence and vital importance of the lymphatic drainage system of the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) known as the glymphatic system. The Perrin technique works to manually restore the detoxification process via the glymphatic system, thereby improving the symptoms commonly associated with ME/CFS, post covid and fibromyalgia.
