LONG-COVID REPORT NOW PUBLISHED

by Newspost

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:

RAVE REVIEWS FOR RAKHEE

by Newspost

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.

Sunday 20th March saw the team at Bridgeman Physiotherapy Centre set up their stand at the Run Wigan Festival to offer runners pre and post massages to help fundraise for the F.O.R.M.E. Charity.

F.O.R.M.E. (Fund for Osteopathic Research into M.E.) continues to fund vital research on The Perrin Technique and we are over the moon to share that the Bridgeman Physiotherapy Centre raised an incredible £502.67 on race day! A huge well done to all involved, with special mention to our esteemed PnT Practitioner Sue Capstick who takes it upon herself to raise funds for F.O.R.M.E. each year and support this invaluable charity. She’ll be back fundraising again on 11th September at the Wigan 10k run!

BELGIUM HOSTS PERRIN TECHNIQUE WORKSHOP

by Newspost

Earlier this month Dr Perrin travelled to Belgium to run a course on the lymphatics and The Perrin Technique at the Flanders International College of Osteopathy (FICO) in Antwerp.

His trip was extended to include a visit to the Netherlands, to add on one day of ‘practical’ workshops which had previously been delayed due to COVID-19.

After four days non stop of workshops Dr Perrin returned home via the Eurostar – something which he thoroughly recommends! Check out the photo’s from Antwerp below…

WELCOME TO OUR NEW PRACTITIONERS

by Newspost

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!

THE PERRIN TECHNIQUE ONLINE CONFERENCE 2021

by Newspost

ME/CFS: The Battle For Acceptance

 

71 Perrin Practitioners and guests attended this years virtual conference which took place on Sunday 28th November.

3 amazing speakers gave us an incredible insight into the battles within the world of ME/CFS: 

From a physician’s perspective we heard from Dr Nigel Speight, who has worked as an honorary paediatric medical adviser for several UK ME/CFS charities including ME Association and 25 Percent ME Group. He gave us an illuminating lecture about children with ME/CFS and the challenges he has witnessed over the decades including child protection cases. 

Tony Crouch, social worker and member of the NICE ME/CFS Guideline Development Committee, shared his experience of helping children who have been put on care orders by social services due to their illness.

Harvard University’s Dr Michael VanElzakker joined us live from Massachusetts to talk about the latest evidence to show autonomic dysfunction and glymphatic disturbance in ME/CFS patients, something which will help in our battle to have The Perrin Technique approach recognised.

We were also joined on the day by Jean McDonald, who bravely shared her personal experience of the challenges faced by a family with ME/CFS, and live from Sydney Olivia McDonald (no relation!) gave us an insight into her ME/CFS journey and how it has inspired her work.

A huge thanks to the wonderful lecturers who made this years conference invaluable with such interesting and relevant information in our battle against ME/CFS. 

To our Perrin Practitioners around the globe – See you all next year!
