The Perrin Technique

10/11/2025

Dr Sarahjane O'Leary has just spent the weekend furthering her skills in the Perrin Technique at an another course with Dr Raymond Perrin here in Perth.

The Perrin Technique is a specialised osteopathic approach designed to assess and treat disturbances in the body’s lymphatic drainage and autonomic nervous system - key factors in conditions such as chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), fibromyalgia and long COVID.

By refining these manual techniques, osteopaths can help support better fluid movement, reduce toxic overload and improve overall body regulation.

We’re proud of Sarahjane’s continued dedication to advancing her clinical skills and bringing this valuable knowledge to our patients 👏

🇦🇺 The Perrin Technique Workshop Tour in Australia has begun! 🇦🇺

Our first workshop of the tour took place in Perth over the weekend, where Dr. Raymond Perrin was joined by a fantastic group of professionals eager to explore the neuroscience behind the symptoms and diagnostic signs of ME/CFS, Fibromyalgia, and Long-COVID

We’re thrilled to welcome newly licensed Perrin Technique Practitioners in WA, and we’re excited to announce our first licensed practitioner based in Melbourne, VIC!

Newly licensed practitioners from the workshop tour will be added to the Perrin Technique Practitioner Map over the coming weeks 🗺

It was also wonderful to see familiar faces back at the workshop, as Perrin Technique Practitioners Dr Sarahjane O’Leary and Dr Ray Power attended the three-day course to stay at the forefront of the latest developments in the Technique

A huge thank you to Perrin Technique Practitioner Dr Amanda Oosterweghel for her invaluable help in making the workshop run so smoothly, and to Osteopathy Australia for organising and supporting the tour 👏

🔜 Next stop: Sydney!

🎧 In celebration of the upcoming Australian Perrin Technique workshops (beginning this weekend!) we’re revisiting this wonderful Osteo Talk podcast from Osteopathy Australia:
“Practice and Potential: The Perrin Technique’s Role in Clinical Care and Careers.”

In this episode, licensed Perrin Technique Practitioners Dr. Amanda Oosterweghel and Dr. Ray Power share how their practices have evolved to meet the growing demand for care among patients with ME/CFS and long COVID.

They discuss:
🧠 How the Perrin Technique has transformed their approach to osteopathic care
🙏 The real difference it’s making for patients’ lives
💡 Why this work continues to inspire both practitioners and patients alike

Amanda also shares a particularly moving patient story - one that brought tears to the eyes of Dr. Raymond Perrin himself when he heard it.

A huge thank you to Osteopathy Australia, Amanda, and Ray for highlighting both the practical and human side of the Perrin Technique by sharing their insights and experiences on the podcast.

📰The Perrin Technique featured in national UK newspaper, The Telegraph 📰

In The Telegraph’s recent feature, Dr. Raymond Perrin shares the journey of the Perrin Technique, which began in 1989, and discusses the recent major breakthroughs in science which back up the foundations of his approach.

🔬 Dr. Adrian Heald, consultant physician at Salford Royal (part of Northern Care Alliance NHS Foundation Trust) , adds valuable support from a recognized NHS perspective as he notes the technique’s “positive results” for ME/CFS and long COVID patients, calling for more research into the Perrin Technique:

🗣 “We’re increasingly learning about the physiology on which the Perrin technique is based. The science is slowly catching up with what Dr. Perrin has been proposing as a technique for many years.” says Dr Heald. "Chronic fatigue is an extremely complex and difficult condition to treat. It manifests in different ways in different people. But the bottom line for me is that any technique that has potential validity as an approach needs to be looked at in a formal way.”

The article also includes Dr. Perrin's insights into how long Covid is caused, why conditions like ME/CFS and long COVID disproportionately affect women and what can trigger these conditions.

Chronic fatigue and long Covid remain poorly understood, but Dr Perrin’s unusual techniques are having surprisingly positive results

The wait is almost over! 'Through the Looking Glass: Diagnosing and Treating Long COVID Using The Perrin Technique' hits the shelves next Thursday, November 7! 👀

Through the Looking Glass takes readers through what long COVID is and how the symptoms can be reversed using lymphatic drainage of the brain. For a first look, our publisher Hammersmith Health Books is offering a preview of the first chapter on their website: https://www.hammersmithbooks.co.uk/product/through-the-looking-glass/

In this practical handbook, Dr. Perrin spells out the basics of 'why' and 'how' to use the Perrin Technique to underpin recovery from long COVID and restore healthy lymphatic drainage from the brain following COVID-19 infection or vaccination. He brings together what is now known about the virus and its long-term consequences with his research and clinical experience of more than 30 years to offer solutions that can restore health, as the many case histories included in the book illustrate.

🔬 The foreword is written by Dr. Yassine Bendiabdallah, a Functional Medicine Specialist, who shares how he discovered the Perrin Technique during his own journey with long COVID, finding it to be a "comprehensive, evidence-based approach" that transformed his recovery. He now considers it an indispensable part of his therapeutic toolkit for treating post-viral conditions.

This highly anticipated book is currently available for pre-order across many major online booksellers worldwide! 🤩
