The Perrin Technique

"The Perrin Technique™ is based on Dr. Perrin’s theory that different stress factors whether physical, allergies, emotional or infections lead to an overstrain of the sympathetic nervous system.... "Although it is known for being the system that helps us in times of danger and stress, often referred to as the ‘Fight or Flight’ system, the sympathetic nervous system is important in controlling blood flow and the normal functioning of all the organs of the body such as the heart, kidney, the bowel.

 

"We know it is vital for healthy lymphatic drainage. In (chronic pain) sufferers... due to Myalgic Encephalomyelitis,/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (as well as Fibromyalgia, Long Covid), ... the sympathetic nervous system will have been placed under stress for many years before the onset of the signs and symptoms. This stress may be of a physical nature due to postural strain or an old injury, it may be emotional, or environmental such as pollution, or it may be due to stress on the immune system due to infection or allergy"....

 

"Further investigation has led to a probable cause of this nervous system overload being a build-up of toxins in the fluid around the brain and the spinal cord. Some of the poisons caused by infection or inflammation in the head or spine flow through channels from the brain into the lymph ducts of the head face and neck. The toxins are also meant to drain down the spinal cord and out into the lymph ducts lying along the spine.

 

"In a ME/CFS (Fibromyalgic and Long Covid) sufferer, there is a backflow of these normal drainage points which leads to further toxicity and dysfunction of the central nervous system. This leads to all the many symptoms we see in (people experiencing chronic pain.)"

The At-Home Program--excellent tools to support continued lymph drainage and healing
First, Pace your daily activities with the question: "Can I do double without feeling worse?" For example, if one movie or one mile leaves you energized after the effort that day and for the following 3 or more days, then walk the mile or watch the movie. But, IF the answer is "No," do half. In this example that means 1/2 a movie or mile. 

Second, begin your own at-home practices to lock in success. Here are video and written links for quick training and reminders.
