Success Stories

David Wilson, 36, Coach Transport Coordinator for large Travel Company

Having tried many things in order to recover from 4 years of ME (traditional medicine = no help, homeopathy = up and down results, Reverse Therapy = nothing other than short term feeling of improvement which may well have been psychlogical, Cognitive Therapy = no long term benefit), I was getting more and more disheartened.

Then I read the Perrin Technique book following an article my parents had seen in the Daily Mail which said "Could a detox massage cure ME?" . I remember the article's title almost exactly because since then, Perrin has helped me enormously.

From the first session (which initially knocked me for 6), there has been a consistent and continued improvement from what on the face of it, is just a basic and non-invasive massage. I am now capable of even riding my bike for a good few miles, something which was little more than a dream only a year ago.

I am confident that between a combination of Sorrel's treatment of me and my own sensible and gauged return to activity, that in the not too distant future the active life I had long thought I'd lost will be returned to me to a large extent if not completely.

I went to see Sorrel after 8 years of suffering with recurrent infections leading into M.E symptoms. My mum and I had tried so many paths to get me better. I started visiting Sorrel in the summer of 2007 and I have now been well for over a year, although  Ihave had a couple of infections I managed to recover quickly,this is incredible for me as I have struggled to overcome many viruses, with the common cold taking weeks to budge. Currently I am finishing off my A levels and I will be attending university in the summer. I am thrilled at the thought of being able to live a healthy 'normal' life.  Sorrel has been a great support not only with teaching me the massage techniques but she has shown great care and has always had a genuine interest in my health and me. I am very thankful for all of her help and i know that she would always be there if i had a relapse with my condition.


Valerie Swan, 67, officially retired but work for my son

After a long distressing marriage, a very stressful job and finally a divorce, I became very tired and could sleep all day as well as night. I was very tired all the time so went to the doctor who just said it was due to long term stress and it would gradually go, but it didn't. I then saw an advertisement from Sorrel with all the symptoms I was suffering from and saying that it was probably early signs of M.E.
Her treatment, the Perrin Technique™, involved massaging and exercises and eating the right foods, but after 3 months I felt so much better.

I have now returned to work as I like to be busy and I go jiving with my partner two or three times a month. I am so glad I saw that advertisement.

I had been suffering from ME for 20 years, when I first came to see Sorrel. I felt improvement immediately after the first treatment and my ME symptoms have improved significantly after two months of treatment. I would thoroughly recommend Sorrel to anyone.

For twenty years I have suffered from ME and experienced the most debilitating symptoms . After six treatments with Sorrel, I now have relief from muscle pain and my energy levels have increased. In the friendly environment of her consulting room, I am free to express my health related concerns and issues. This I am sure is also contributing to my recovery.
