#ME/CFS patients, have you heard of the Perrin technique? I just read that someone got from bedbound to having quite a bit more life quality? #Covid #LongCovid
@silkabelli.eurosky.social Correlation does not equal causation. Unless you literally tried thousands of therapies, perrin is nothing that is worth the effort. Most probable effect is placebo, highest risk is infection because it requires hands-on.

afaik it's osteopathic pseudoscience. the ME association said:

Thank you, Elle - I was vaguely sure I'd heard "bad" things about it, but wasn't confident enough to answer myself.
