WHAT IS MAYA ABDOMINAL THERAPY

The Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy™ (Formerly known as Maya Abdominal Massage) are ancient healing methods using external, non-invasive manipulation involving only the hands to guide reproductive organs and pelvic bone structure into their proper position. Once reproductive organs and the pelvic bone structure are returned to their proper position, along with recommended dietary and lifestyle changes, the body can begin to heal itself. As is true of the current model of holistic healing, this massage supports the body’s natural healing capacity.

 

The organs and pelvic structure that have shifted or become displaced cause a restriction of the flow of blood, lymph, nerve and chi (energy). This restriction interferes with the effective and adequate delivery of fluids, nutrients and hormones to cells and organs as well as the removal of toxins and waste products, creating constriction and congestion in the abdominal and pelvic areas.

 

This displacement and resulting constriction and congestion in the abdominal and pelvic area is the cause of many of the common female and male complaints as well as a host of seemingly unrelated ailments.

 

Women and men suffer needlessly from a barrage of physical complaints that can easily be corrected by returning the uterus/prostate to its proper position and function using these techniques. See “Indications for treatment”.
