Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization
(DNS) is a
developmental
kinesiology
approach
Perrin
Technique TM
The Perrin Technique TM
is an
osteopathic
approach,
originally for
Chronic
Fatigue
Syndrome /
Myalgic
Encephalomyelitis,
to manually
drain toxins
from the
cerebrospinal
fluid into the
lymphatic
system. Gentle
movement of
the head,
spine, neck,
back and chest
aids the
central
nervous
system, the
hypothalamus
and the
sympathetic
nervous
system,
restoring
health back to
the client.
The technique
was developed
in 1989 by Dr
Raymond
Perrin, a
British
osteopath,
neuroscientist
and now an
adjunct
Professor at
the NYITC
Osteopathic
Medicine.
I am
incredibly
excited to
announce that
I am one of
the first
manual
therapist (non
Osteopath/Physio/Chiro)
to attend and
to become a
licensed
Perrin
technique
practitioner
in Cambridge
UK.
It
was
hypothesised
by Dr Perrin
that ME/CFS
was caused by
a combination
of
inflammatory
chemicals,
trauma,
postural
issues and
stress which
adversely
affected the
sympathetic
nervous
system. He
also
hypothesised
that one final
trigger,
usually a
viral trigger,
reversed the
flow of toxins
towards the
brain and
spinal cord,
affecting the
cranial nerve
pathways such
as the optic,
auditory and
trigeminal.
ME/CFS
patients have
been shown to
have
structurally
damaged
drainage
points due to
trauma,
developmental
or congenital
and hereditary
problems.
Identifiable
physical signs
include:
Abnormal
spinal posture
Enlarged
varicose lymph
vessels
Specific
tender points
Excess heat
along the
spine and
diaphragm
Altered
cranial rhythm
Your initial
consultation
is 90 minutes
which includes
an online form
(full
history), full
physical
examination
and an
explanation of
treatments.
Kindly note
that there is
no treatment
provided in
this initial
appointment; a
consent form
must be signed
to proceed, as
the spine and
breast tissue
is examined in
a professional
manner.
Follow up
appointments
are 30
minutes, which
includes
treatment.
