Dr. Perrin's Theory and the Perrin Technique™
The Perrin Technique™ is founded on Dr. Perrin’s theory that various stressors—whether physical, emotional, allergic, or due to infections—can lead to an overactivation of the sympathetic nervous system. Over time, this chronic stress response overwhelms the body’s normal regulatory mechanisms.Dr. Perrin’s research suggests that this overload of the nervous system is largely due to a buildup of toxins in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), which surrounds the brain and spinal cord. These toxins, often the result of infections or inflammation in the head or spine, are typically cleared through natural drainage pathways. Specifically, they flow from the brain into the lymphatic system of the head, face, and neck, and are meant to drain downward along the spinal cord and out through the lymphatic ducts along the spine.However, in individuals suffering from conditions like Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS), these drainage pathways become compromised, leading to a backflow of toxins. This backflow prevents proper toxin elimination, resulting in a continuous accumulation of waste products in the central nervous system. The resultant toxicity contributes to the dysfunction of the nervous system, manifesting in the wide range of symptoms commonly associated with ME/CFS.The Perrin Technique™ aims to support the body's natural detoxification processes, helping to restore normal fluid circulation and reduce the toxic burden on the nervous system, ultimately alleviating symptoms and promoting recovery.

Manual Lymph Drainage and Lymph Drainage TherapyThe lymphatic system cleanses toxins from the body, drains excess fluids, and helps maintain a healthy immune system. Poor lymphatic circulation (caused by surgery, trauma, infection, stress, inherited dysfunction, or aging) can result in a range of related medical conditions and illnesses.Lymphatic therapy treats these issues by restoring healthy lymphatic circulation. The goal is to remove previously stagnant lymphatic fluids, kickstart the immune system, and give balance to the body's autonomic nervous system.The entire process is non-invasive, relaxing, extremely gentle, and a key preventive measure, thus contributing to prolonged good health. Practitioners of this technique gently palpate at key points of the body to determine the state of lymphatic circulation. They evaluate for poor flow, and with treatment, encourage the proper rhythm, direction, strength, and quality of lymphatic flow. More than eighty years of research have shown the benefits of lymphatic therapy.Valerie Bainton, P.T. is extensively trained in both Dr. Vodder's Manual Lymph
DrainageTM (MLD) and Dr. Chikly's Lymph Drainage TherapyTM (LDT)

I am a registered physical therapist and have been practicing since 1986. I have worked in a variety of settings including outpatient orthopedics, hospital acute care, holistic health centers, and my own private practice.I received my B.A.in Biology in 1981 and my B.S. in Physical Therapy in 1986 from the University of Colorado. I received international certification in the European technique of Dr. Vodder’s Manual Lymph Drainage (MLD®) in 1998. I was certified in the Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Massage® in 2007.I am originally from New England and have lived in Colorado since 1977. In my spare time, I enjoy hiking, camping, reading mystery books, gardening, studying herbalism, and helping Steve, my significant other, remodel our house.
