The Lymphatics The Osteopathic Approach with Raymond Perrin DO

The workshop will focus on the anatomy pathophysiology diagnosis and treatment of the lymphatic system plus the advances in science showing recent visible evidence of the existence of a neuro-lymphatic (glymphatic) pathway (Iliff J et al 2012) and a dural lymphatic system that was only confirmed in humans in  2017 (Absinta, Ha et al. 2017).  Dr Perrin  will explain also  how neurolymphatic disturbance due to sympathetic dysfunction  causes excess lactic acid  leading to myalgia and fatigue supporting earlier research findings. (He J. et al. 2013.)

The workshop will utilise a selection of visual aids, including a PowerPoint presentation, anatomical models and handouts. The workshop is designed to practically help the clinician improve their palpatory diagnostic and treatment  skills in the field of ME/CFS and FMS.  In the first day Dr Perrin will demonstrate and teach the participants how to use validated and established  ME/CFS and  FMS consultation forms plus how to  examine the physical signs that will help the clinician to screen for, and give a reasonably accurate severity score and prognosis of these diseases. Thus, improving the clinical care of  ME/CFS and FMS patients.

The third day will focus on the treatment that at  present is helping thousands of sufferers ME/CFS, FMS and now Long-COVID around the world  who receive Thee Perrin Technique from over 100 licensed practitioners. Millions of patients in the USA needs many more practitioners to train in this osteopathic technique developed by Dr Perrin.

WORKSHOP OBJECTIVES:

At the end of this session, participants should be able to:

1. Use the techniques demonstrated to  diagnose and treat problems through the  lymphatic system and to screen patients for ME/CFS and Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) and Long COVID  in their clinical practice.
2. Be able to identify aetiological and maintaining  factors that may have predisposed the patient and increased their susceptibility to develop ME/CFS and FMS.
3. Accurately assess the level of severity of the patient’s illness and calculate the prognosis for their condition.
4. 4.Understand the principles and gain the ability to practice the manual treatment of the neuro-lymphatic system that is the Perrin technique.

The workshop will cover the neuroscience underlying the physical symptoms and diagnostic signs to screen for ME/CFS and Fibromyalgia and Long-COVID . It includes  practical sessions  with clinical handouts   that practitioners can use as an aid to the diagnostic and prognostic process. The full  treatment protocol taught in the Workshop  by Dr Perrin will be life-changing for many of your patients.
