12th May is International ME/CFS Awareness Day, also promoted as World ME Day.

On this important day, organisations and individuals recognise and support the millions of people world-wide who are affected by ME/CFS and other chronic immunological and neurological diseases by raising public awareness.

Our patients deserve all the recognition in the world, navigating through the debilitating conditions ME/CFS, Fibromyalgia and now Long COVID.

Today we wanted to take the opportunity to celebrate YOU by sharing some achievements made on your recovery journeys with The Perrin Technique.

This significant day coincides with the 55th anniversary since the World Health Organisation (WHO) officially acknowledged ME/CFS in their International Classification of Diseases.

ME/CFS Awareness Day was established to combat the widespread misunderstanding and stigmatisation associated with the condition. Over the years, it has grown into a significant global observance, driving international efforts to enhance the quality of life for those affected. Today, and every day, we stand with the ME/CFS community as a #GlobalVoiceForME

In 2023, Dr. Perrin was interviewed by Jeremy Quinby, host of Highway to Health Podcast, who wanted to find out more about The Perrin Technique™ (special mention to Perrin Technique Practitioner Ruby Tam for introducing these two!). 

This detailed discussion aired in April 2024 and is available to listen to on Apple Podcasts:

Together they discuss how Long COVID resembles ME/CFS and what we might be learning from it as well as implications of the SLYM (Subarachnoid Lymphatic-like Membrane) and other recent discoveries. 

Highway To Health are a team of dedicated health professionals and wellness advocates providing insightful written content, videos and the latest developments in the world of health, well-being, technology, and research.  

Dr. Perrin’s interview, which is just over an hour long, is also available to view on YouTube:

In April, Dr. Ray Perrin was training up new Perrin Technique™ Practitioners at Fairways Lodge in Manchester, UK. The workshop was held on 14th – 15th of the month, which saw 6 individuals become newly certified in The Perrin Technique™!
