The Perrin Technique reached another corner of the world last month, as we welcomed three new licensed practitioners in Brazil! These are Jose De Alencar Rodrigues Da Cruz and Ary Llagostera Castro in Rio De Janeiro as well as Iara Bueno Louro who is located in Sao Paulo.

It was all smiles following the conclusion of the first-ever Perrin Practitioner workshop in South America, which was held at Ary Llagostera’s Osteopathic practice.

After a small but successful workshop, the hope is to continue to emulate this around the globe and help reach those patients in countries who still do not yet have a licensed Perrin Practitioner to turn to.

In view of keeping the work/life balance in order, Dr. Perrin squeezed in a visit to the Rio de Janeiro Botanical Gardens and swapped his PPE for a Rio Carnival costume!…

Our latest paper on Long-COVID has just been published online!

Although an uncontrolled study, our results potentially suggest that a specific manual lymphatic technique could have benefit for Long COVID patients. It may be that early intervention and supportive treatments at the end of the acute phase of COVID-19 can help to lessen acute phase symptoms and prevent them from becoming chronic/enduring.

“Reducing fatigue-related symptoms in Long COVID-19: a preliminary report of a lymphatic drainage intervention” can be found in the international journal Cardiovascular Endocrinology and Metabolism, and presents analysis of 20 Long-COVID patients’ data following 3 months of The Perrin Technique:

Biolab, a London-based medical referral laboratory for nutritional and environmental medicine, hosted a Long COVID Day conference in March with various speakers including Dr Sarah Myhill.

Another of those speakers was Dr Yassine Bendiabdallah. Dr Bendiabdallah is a Functional Medicine Specialist and co-founded the health & wellness centre ZEN Healthcare. His talk focused on the strategies for treating Long COVID, he mentioned Dr Perrin and how The Perrin Technique can help reduce the overload on the sympathetic nervous system when treating the condition.

Dr Bendiabdallah has personal experience of the technique, having been treated by Perrin Practitioner Rakhee Mediratta and he explained how he has been significantly helped by The Perrin Technique as well as sharing that the technique has helped numerous patients who he has referred to Rakhee.

It’s wonderful to hear such positive feedback from patients about our Perrin Practitioners and the technique, please do get in touch with us at pr@theperrinclinic.com if you wish to share any testimonials of your personal experience too. 

Thanks to international travel now back up and running for Dr Perrin, the first quarter of 2022 has seen aspiring Perrin Technique Practitioners become trained up in many corners of the world.

Firstly, there is Dr Kostas Filippopolitis who is a qualified and highly experienced neurologist from Greece and has retrained as an osteopath in Athens. After reading Dr Ray Perrin’s latest book, his interest in The Perrin Technique led him to contact Ray directly and book himself on the latest Perrin Technique workshop in Manchester at the start of the year. As a consultant neurologist, acupuncturist and neural therapist he is a wonderful addition to the growing Perrin Technique family.

In addition, we also have a trio of newly qualified Perrin Practitioners in Belgium. These are Barbara De Lange, Jory Pauwels and Inge Schuermans. We welcome them on board to our worldwide network of Practitioners and wish them all the best for the year ahead.

In the first week of April, Dr Perrin will be giving a workshop on The Perrin Technique in Rio De Janeiro – Hopefully after that trip we will see our first licensed practitioners in South America!
