FAQs
The Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy® are founded on the ancient Maya technique of abdominal massage which is an external non-invasive manipulation that repositions internal organs that have shifted, thereby restricting the flow of blood, lymph, nerve, and chi. These techniques address position and health of the pelvic and abdominal organs. The work is best known for the correction of the prolapsed or tilted uterus and for relief of many common digestive disorders.

Up to 30% of women who were unable to conceive through other methods have conceived using Maya Abdominal Therapy. By guiding the uterus into its correct placement, the body returns to homeostasis. A thicker, rich uterine lining forms and hormones become regulated, which allows for healthy sustained attachment of the embryo to the uterine wall. This also creates an optimal environment for successful IVF and IUI treatments.
C-section prevention can be a concern for many mothers. By working to keep the uterus aligned, the body is in its best position for birth. Through Maya Abdominal Therapy, the uterine muscles and ligaments are strengthened to support a growing baby without moving out of alignment. Both mother and baby can benefit from a shorter, healthier labor and delivery.
In the event of a c-section, Maya Abdominal Therapy can reduce scar tissue and prevent adhesions from forming between muscle layers and surrounding organs.
