WHAT IS MAYA ABDOMINAL THERAPY
The Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy 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 treatment 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.
These ancient Maya healing techniques help to eliminate the primary cause not just the symptoms of reproductive and digestive complaints in men and women and the congested pelvis and abdomen thereby preventing the progression of symptoms to chronic disease 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. My clients’ ages range from newborn to 95 years young with a blend of both male and female who attend and enjoy the benefits of this ancient healing technique.
