Arvigo Massage – also known as Maya Massage or more accurately The Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy® – is a powerful holistic approach to healing, particularly for reproductive and digestive complaints.
Through skilled abdominal manipulation, Arvigo massage practitioners restore the pelvic organs to their optimal position and enable the unobstructed flow of blood, lymph, nerve impulses, and chi. Arvigo massage incorporates not just massage, but also anatomy, physiology, herbology, nutrition, emotional and spiritual healing.
History of Arvigo Massage
The Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy® were developed by Dr. Rosita Arvigo based on over thirty years of training and experience in massage, herbology, spiritual healing, and naprapathy (the study of ligaments, joints and muscles). Dr. Arvigo learned these techniques from the great Maya Shaman Don Elijio Panti of Belize, Central America who left this world in 1996 at the age of 103.
Benefits of Arvigo Massage
Arvigo massage is best known for being highly effective in addressing the common problem of a prolapsed or tipped uterus, which can cause symptoms ranging from pain and incontinence to infertility. Arvigo massage strengthens the ligaments and muscles that support the uterus and ovaries, allowing them to slide back into place so that blood and chi can flow freely.
Optimizing the position of the reproductive organs is beneficial for fertility, healthy pregnancy, labor, delivery, and recovery after birth. It restores vital energy, allows toxins to be flushed out of the system, and enables hormonal and nutrient levels to return to a natural balance.
For men, Arvigo massage can restore full blood supply to the pelvic bowl to prevent swelling and inflammation, as well as helping with many common sexual and reproductive challenges.
For both men and women, Arvigo massage goes to the root of common digestive disorders, relaxing musculature and increasing blood flow to improve the function of digestive and eliminative organs. It can also reduce scar tissue caused by previous surgeries and relax the diaphragm to enable fuller, deeper, more relaxing breath.
