Perrin Technique
The Perrin Technique
The Perrin Technique is a specialised osteopathic diagnostic and therapeutic approach, primarily used for people with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS), fibromyalgia and post-viral conditions, including Long COVID. It is based on very subtle manual techniques aimed at supporting the body’s natural detoxification processes through the lymphatic and nervous systems. The therapy has been specifically designed for highly sensitive individuals for whom standard manual treatments are often too intense.
Great for:
- people living with ME/CFS, fibromyalgia or Long COVID
- patients who are highly sensitive to manual therapy
- individuals who do not tolerate strong or forceful techniques
- those seeking a gentle, non-invasive osteopathic approach
- patients requiring a slow, carefully paced therapeutic process

The Perrin Technique was developed in response to clinical observations showing that people with ME/CFS, fibromyalgia and Long COVID often experience impaired fluid drainage and overload of the nervous system. The therapy focuses on a precise assessment of tension patterns within the spine, chest, head and structures connected to the lymphatic system and the autonomic nervous system.
The treatment does not involve forceful manipulation. Manual contact is extremely gentle, calm and always adapted to the patient’s tolerance. The techniques used in The Perrin Technique aim to support lymphatic drainage, reduce strain on the central nervous system and encourage the body’s regenerative processes without provoking symptom flare-ups or overstimulation.
Gentleness and safety as core principles of the therapy
One of the most important aspects of The Perrin Technique is its exceptional gentleness, which is crucial for people with neurological and sensory hypersensitivity. Patients with fibromyalgia, ME/CFS or Long COVID often experience worsening of symptoms even after minimal manual input. For this reason, all techniques are individually adjusted, taking into account the patient’s current condition and response capacity.
In women, particular care is taken when working around the lymphatic structures of the chest. The therapist applies advanced anatomical knowledge and clinical experience to ensure that treatment in these sensitive areas is carried out safely, respectfully and without discomfort. Every stage of the therapy is conducted in a calm, controlled manner, with full attention to the patient’s sense of safety and wellbeing.
The Perrin Technique and complex chronic conditions
The Perrin Technique is not a symptom-based treatment, but a holistic approach that recognises the complexity of chronic conditions such as long-term fatigue, widespread pain and persistent post-viral symptoms. The therapy is based on the understanding that the nervous, lymphatic and hormonal systems are closely interconnected, and that overload within these systems can contribute to ongoing, systemic symptoms.
Thanks to the very mild nature of the techniques, the therapy allows the body to be supported gradually, without the risk of excessive stimulation. The Perrin Technique is often part of a longer-term therapeutic process, aiming to improve quality of life, reduce symptom severity and support better day-to-day functioning.
