What is Mayan Abdominal Massage?

The Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy® is a gentle, non-invasive, external massage developed by American herbalist and naprapath Dr. Rosita Arvigo, who studied under the Maya shaman Don Elijio Panti in Belize for thirteen years as his apprentice.

How It Works

• Organ Alignment: Uses hand manipulation to guide shifted or prolapsed internal organs—such as a tilted uterus or dropped bladder—back into their optimal positions. 

• Flow Enhancement: Aims to improve the circulation of blood, lymph, nerve signals, and life force energy (chi or chu'lel) through the pelvic and abdominal cavities.

• Holistic Approach: Includes work on the lower back, sacrum, and hips alongside the abdomen, acknowledging physical, emotional, and energetic health.
