The Perrin Technique is a gentle, hands-on approach that focuses on assessing and supporting lymphatic and neurological drainage pathways—particularly around the spine, head, and lymphatic system. Appointments include a thorough case history, physical assessment, and specific manual techniques, along with simple home-care strategies that can be used between visits.

The Perrin Technique is most commonly associated with support for people with ME/CFS (chronic fatigue syndrome), and may also be used as part of care for related presentations where symptoms such as ongoing fatigue, brain fog, headaches, widespread pain, or autonomic-type symptoms are present. Because this approach is designed for longer-term, complex presentations, treatment is typically a weekly commitment for several months (and sometimes longer).

If you’re booking a Perrin Technique appointment online, it’s recommended to also book your next four weekly appointments in advance. This helps you stay consistent with care and reduces the chance of missing out on your preferred appointment times.

Many patients find it helpful to learn about the method before starting—The Perrin Technique Handbook for Patients is a recommended starting point, with other books available for those who want a deeper understanding.
