Arvigo Maya Abdominal Massage

Did you know that there is a very specific type of massage/bodywork for help with digestive and reproductive organ problems, back pain, healing after abdominal surgery, fertility challenges, as well as helping with general detoxification and well-being?

Many people have yet to hear of, or experience, Arvigo Maya Abdominal Therapy.

This work is done by either a licensed massage therapist, licensed midwife, nurse, physical therapist or occupational therapist, with a “license to touch” and specialized training in abdominal, chest and pelvic anatomy, as well as the techniques of Arvigo Maya Abdominal Massage.

Dr. Rosita Arvigo, ND, met her mentor, traditional healer and shaman, Don Elijio Panti, in Belize.  She trained with him, and other traditional Maya healers, and was able to standardize the techniques that had been handed down over generations, in addition to adding the Western science behind the traditional hands-on technique, and offer this lineage tradition to Western practitioners.

This comprehensive and therapeutic massage is designed to both be provided by a practitioner, and also taught to the client so that they can do a daily home care component on their own.  There is something very powerful and positive about taking one’s own healing and health maintenance into one’s hands, and the home care aspect of Arvigo Maya Abdominal Massage is an important part of that process.

Arvigo Maya Abdominal Massage can help with regulating the digestive system, the lymphatic system, and the reproductive system, as well as help with gently reversing organ prolapse, assisting with healing after abdominal surgery, reducing scar tissue and adhesions, normalizing body processes, releasing tight fascia, helping with structural problems in the deep abdominal area that might contribute to back pain, as well as accessing emotional, spiritual and psychic healing.

Generally, the first session lasts 2 hours.  During that time, the practitioner will review an extensive Health History Form, which the patient has been asked to fill out in advance, and provide to the practitioner prior to the appointment, so that the health history can be thoroughly and completely reviewed, with special attention to any contraindications.  The practitioner will explain the basis and background of ArvigoMaya Abdominal Therapy, explain how the treatment will unfold, as well as help the patient understand the important component of home care, and then teach the home care part to the patient.  The patient will leave the first session confident of how to perform the home care part, with a 3 page hand-out detailing that sequence.

Follow-up sessions generally are shorter, lasting around an hour.

Arvigo Maya Abdominal Therapy includes work on the back, neck, shoulders, hips, as well as the abdominal area from just above the pubic bone to the diaphram, under the rib cage.  This work is comprehensive and goes very deep, however it is also slow and gentle, and an experienced practitioner works with the patient’s breath, and at a pace that is comfortable to the patient.  This type of massage should never be painful or hurt, however it can be intense at times, and it is completely fine for the patient to request a break or to ask for lighter pressure if they desire.  The aim of this type of massage therapy work is to be fluid, for the touch to be comforting and firm, yet not create resistance or pain for the patient.  Most experienced practitioners are also very adept in working with emotional issues as they might surface.  The abdominal area is very vulnerable, and skilled touch to this part of the body can be extremely therapeutic, and at the same time it can be an exercise in trust for both the practitioner and the client.
