@Navina I think with CFS, the lymph gets backed up due to constant muscle tension, stress, and sometimes chronic infections and the sedentary nature (because we can’t move much or exercise) of CFS sufferers. It gets so bad that the toxins cause inflammation in the spinal cord & brain. The lymph has to be moved “manually” since we can’t move much. I hope this helps. The Perrin technique (or lymph massage in general) can be a great aid to programs like Gupta, and pacing techniques.
Thanks for this. I have watched similar videos and read that oil should not be used for lymphatic drainage massage. I see you recommend oil for neck and torso massage. What is your reasoning as it seems to be fairly light touch and minimal strokes? Also, you very ably demonstrated the simplicity and ease of self massage. Will following your full routine video steps be sufficient or is there some additional benefit of attending a professional practitioners’s practice for a Perrin Technique Massage?
Hi Phil and thanks very much for your comment, much appreciated.🙏 The Perrin Technique massage and MLD (Manual Lymphatic Drainage) massage are different techniques for treating different problems. The Perrin Technique massage is firmer than MLD massage and a lubricant is used primarily for patient comfort and to avoid excessive skin drag and irritation. MLD is primarily (but not only) used for the treatment of lymphoedema (lymphedema in US) whereas the Perrin Technique is primarily for the treatment of ME/CFS or Fibromyalgia (and possibly Long COVID - research study ongoing) and these patients do not generally have lymphoedema, at least not as a result of ME/CFS. I would certainly start straight away with the full and short routines if you can. We originally did these videos as a homework resource for patients but also to help a friend with Long COVID who lives 3 hours away. She followed the routine, doing the full routine later in the day and the short routine 2 or 3 times a day and it certainly seemed to help her recover. A lot depends on how bad your condition is. As a Perrin Technique practitioner myself, and member of the inaugural Advanced Perrin Practitioners training programme with Dr Raymond Perrin, I would of course recommend seeing a qualified practitioner if there is one nearby . Wishing you a journey to full health. Best regards Andy
@@breakspearclinic9438 … I agree. LMD is not considered a “massage” and should not be called as such since the pressure on the skin is very superficial to move the lymph flow rather than “touching” muscle as a deeper layer of tissue. There are however (correct me if I’m wrong) deep lymphatic nodes/vessels in the body.

OMGOODNESS THANKYOU FOR SHARING THIS INVALUABLE TECHNIQUE. ❤️

I love your calm, positive energy! Question: does it matter when you breath in and out? Should it be synchronised with the movements?
Thank you. The main thing re breathing is not to hold your breath. 😊
Can you explain how this should help with MECFS?
I think is is best you look at Dr Raymond Perrin's book o view him on you tube

…go for a regular (at least every 2weeks) one hr full body massage for about at least 6 months, then YOU evaluate if it works for YOU 🤗
