Why Self-Help Matters on Your Recovery Journey
Living with conditions like ME/CFS, Fibromyalgia, or Long COVID can feel overwhelming — especially when progress seems slow or uncertain. That’s why we’ve created this dedicated space with expert-guided self-help resources to support your healing outside the clinic. These tools, grounded in the principles of the Perrin Technique, are here to help you feel more in control, every day.
These resources are best used alongside your treatments with Khush and the team at Stanmore Wellness Clinic. If you're unsure where to start or need a bit more support, we're just a phone call or message away.
The Recovery Jigsaw Analogy
Every person’s healing journey is unique — but just like a jigsaw puzzle, recovery often begins by putting the corner and edge pieces in place.
This downloadable guide explains the "recovery jigsaw" through a beautifully illustrated analogy, showing how essential foundations like rest, relaxation, meditation, and pacing form the base of long-term healing. It’s a gentle, reassuring read that helps make sense of the often-complex path to wellness.
Use this resource to reflect on your current habits and see which pieces of the puzzle you might be missing. Whether you're at the beginning of your journey or revisiting your routines, it’s a lovely way to reconnect with the basics.
Your Self-Help Guide – The Perrin Technique
This comprehensive self-help guide offers step-by-step instructions for applying the Perrin Technique at home. It’s ideal for patients currently receiving treatment at the clinic, but also helpful for anyone looking to take small, manageable steps each day to support recovery from Long COVID, Fibromyalgia, or ME/CFS.
Inside the guide, you'll find:
-
✅ Daily mobility and flexibility exercises to gently support spinal and lymphatic flow
-
✅ Breathing techniques specifically for post-viral fatigue and breathing issues
-
✅ Self-massage instructions (including head, chest, and back) using massage oil
-
✅ Contrast bathing guidance for inflammation and upper back relief
-
✅ The Active Head Rest – a simple 10-minute routine for deep rest before bed
These routines are designed to be simple but powerful when done consistently. They’re a great way to reconnect with your body’s natural rhythms — and support the work you’re doing in-clinic.
Please remember: These techniques are supportive, not prescriptive. If you feel unsure or experience discomfort, get in touch so we can tailor the support to your needs.
