Dr. Perrin was assisted at this workshop by Kerrie Austin, one of our Advanced Perrin Technique Practitioners. It is a great pleasure to announce that Kerrie, based in South Africa, has now become qualified to teach the Perrin Technique™ moving forwards!

Thank you all for a fantastic workshop and of course to Panta Rhei for inviting Dr. Perrin to lecture in the Netherlands.

Kerrie Austin, Advanced PnT Practitioner in South Africa, was recently interviewed on the TV show Real Health to discuss ME/CFS.

Real Health is a lifestyle show that invites guests from the Heath & Wellness sector to share their knowledge on the issues affecting health, and the solutions that are available.

“I was recently interviewed by Michael Porter on the Real Health show. We discussed ME/CFS, what it is and how we can diagnose and treat it. I was thrilled to discus this debilitating disease as many patients go undiagnosed and untreated their whole lives.“
– Kerrie Austin, Advanced Perrin Technique Practitioner

Spain welcomes their first licensed Perrin Technique Practitioner!

Earlier this month, Dr. Perrin travelled to San Roque to train up budding Perrin Technique Practitioners and it was a pleasure to welcome Andrea Clac, Josefina Martin Méndez and Chris Pfleger to the workshop.

Congratulations to Josefina who is the first practitioner on the map in Spain, and we look forward to welcoming both Andrea and Chris on board in due course!

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™!

It’s a pleasure to have you join the global network of Perrin Technique Practitioners! 

The guide demonstrates the full at-home routine for all patients who are currently receiving treatment from a licensed Perrin Technique Practitioner.

The guide, which can be found on our YouTube as well as our website, has been split into separate sections so patients can navigate to the specific elements of the routine they wish to view. 

All of the information provided in the guide can be found in the latest Perrin Technique books and we hope the videos can further assist in ensuring patients carry out every aspect of the routines correctly. 

Special thank you to Jonathan & crew from MotionFish Media, our speakers Dr Ray Perrin & Olivia McDonald, as well as our patient models Georgia Morrey & Clark Geden!
