About your Practitioner Val Watts B Sc (Hons) Ost., MIFPA , CIMI

The Perrin Technique (TM trade mark symbol)
The Perrin Technique is a manual system of diagnosis and treatment for patients with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/ME. Val Watts is a licensed Perrin Technique Practitioner.

“What happens in the treatment sessions?
The treatment aims at manually stimulating the drainage of the offending toxins from the central nervous system with gentle stroking towards both collar bones where the lymph drains into larger veins eventually reaching the liver.  Here, the poisons are finally rendered harmless.  Gentle manual treatment to the cranium and spine with relaxation of the surrounding muscles together with specific drainage techniques eventually improve the health and function of the body as a whole.

At your initial Perrin Technique consultation there will be an examination of your spine, abdomen, head and the lymphatics of the thorax which includes the breast tissue.  You are asked if you wish for a chaperone to attend the initial consultation.

What’s the science behind the technique?
Raymond Perrin’s research at the University of Salford in conjunction with the University of Manchester, coupled with hundreds of successful clinical case studies and the latest findings in neurophysiology, has provided strong evidence that CFS/ME involves a disturbance of the drainage of toxins from the brain and muscles.  These poisons often enter the body in the form of viruses, bacteria and other microbes, parasitic infection or due to environmental toxins such as pesticides.

However, many toxins are simply an overproduction of chemicals naturally produced within the body to help the immune system with fighting infections, inflammation and stress.  Constant physical and emotional stress can lead to this type of overproduction.  The excess of some toxins in the brain and spinal cord should drain out into the lymph vessels and be broken down by the body’s lymphatic system and liver.  CFS/ME patients have a reversed drainage that leads to toxins building up in the central nervous system causing the dysfunction of different parts of the brain and spinal cord.  This explains the many different symptoms complained of by CFS/ME patients.” Perrin Clinic leaflet
