Chronic management
Using a system of diagnosis and treatment that has helped many hundreds of patients manage their chronic conditions.
What is The PERRIN technique?
A manual system of diagnosis and treatment that has helped many hundreds of patients with Chronic Fatigue/Myalgic Encephalomyelitis since 1989.
How can I help?
I am a Licensed Affiliate of the Perrin Technique in Bath. I seek to help patients suffering from chronic conditions manage their quality of life using this unique method of osteopathic practice.
I successfully completed my dissertation in Fibromyalgia, finishing my studies with Dr R. N. Perrin in Manchester and have since introduced Bath’s first Perrin Technique clinic for the treatment of:
-
Chronic Fatigue/Myalgic Encephalomyelitis
-
Fibromyalgia
-
Unspecified Sports Fatigue
-
Toxic neurological conditions
In probably the largest-ever British survey of opinion among people with ME/CFS and their carers about which treatments and therapies work for them and which don't, 51.3% found the Perrin Technique to have helped them.
The 32-page report called *'Managing my ME' (published by The ME Association on 27 May 2010) was carried out online and through a paper questionnaire by the ME Association in 2008 and attracted huge interest. A total of 3,494 people answered the questions online. The results indicated that 51.3% sufferers found the manual therapy and diagnosis encompassed by the Perrin Technique was beneficial to them.
