How London Osteopath Robin Kiashek helps Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Sufferers

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), also known as Myalgic Encephalomyelitisor ‘ME’, is a chronic illness. For those with CFS, the impact on their lives can be devastating. Previously healthy and active individuals affected by CFS find themselves unable to perform the most basic of activities.

CFS causes persistent exhaustion. Other symptoms can include depression, sleep disorder, headaches, sensitivity to sound and light, a sore throat and back, neck and muscle pain.

As a London Osteopath I am also qualified in the Perrin Technique. The Perrin Technique is a practice that works towards diagnosing and treating Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. It was developed by Raymond Perrin and is based on the validated scientific research that CFS/ME that is caused by a reversal of lymphatic drainage, especially from the brain, causing a build of toxins.

The Perrin Technique opens up the flow of lymphatic fluids in the body and rids it of poisonous elements allowing it to function properly.

Diagnosing & treating CFS/ME with the Perrin Technique

To diagnose CFS/ME, I check for a specific set of physical symptoms by carrying out a physical examination of the patient. Taking this information in combination with information that the patient provides about their medical history and lifestyle I am able to provide a diagnosis based on the principles of the Perrin Technique. The consultation and examination takes around 90 minutes.

The Perrin Technique, like Osteopathy, involves hands-on treatment. This will include lymphatic drainage and physical manipulation to stimulate the movement of lymphatic fluids around the brain, body and the spine. Not only does the treatment work towards detoxifying the body, it also allows it to flow and function naturally to prevent the future build-up of unhealthy is materials.

To complement the hands-on treatment, patients are provided with self-massage techniques and appropriate exercises. During the consultation supplementation is also recommended.

With careful treatment Chronic Fatigue Syndrome patients can start to re-gain their lives and don’t need to be bedridden. However, it is important that they learn to pace themselves and finding the right balance of treatment to help support them.

You can read more about my thoughts on pacing oneself in an interview I gave to the Ham& High newspaper on how to beat Chronic Fatigue Syndrome with a sense of balance and stability.

As well as being a qualified Osteopath in London I am qualified in various therapies that I use with the Perrin Technique to help patients such as life-coaching and nutrition.
