Frequently Asked Questions

Each session is personalized and begins with a thoughtful review of your health history and current concerns. Care is unhurried and attentive.

Your session may include:

• A comprehensive review of your personal health history and current healthcare needs
• Gentle abdominal massage focused on aligning the abdominal and reproductive organs
• Evaluation and support of structural alignment, with attention to the sacrum, lumbar, and thoracic spine
• Instruction in self-care techniques you can practice at home to support and extend the benefits of your session

Recommendations for complementary therapies, which may include:

• Herbal remedies
• Castor oil packs
• A faja (traditional abdominal support wrap)
• Bajos — a traditional Maya vaginal steam bath (pronounced ba-hos)
• Nutritional and lifestyle guidance

The intention of each session is to support balance, circulation, and the body's natural ability to heal.

In the body's natural alignment, the uterus rests slightly forward over the bladder and is supported by muscles, ligaments, and the vaginal wall. Over time, these structures can weaken or tighten due to stress, injury, childbirth, surgery, or lifestyle factors.

When the uterus shifts from its optimal position, women may experience a wide range of physical and emotional symptoms. Conventional medicine often offers limited solutions, such as medications or surgery.

Through gentle, non-invasive abdominal massage techniques, the uterus and surrounding organs may be encouraged back toward their natural alignment. This can help restore homeostasis — the body's natural state of balance.

Benefits may include:

• Improved circulation and lymphatic flow
• Support for hormonal balance and tissue tone
• Assistance with healthy pregnancy, labor, and recovery
• Reduction of old adhesions related to surgery, fibroids, endometriosis, or cesarean delivery
• Support for digestion, bladder, and urinary concerns

Men also benefit from the Arvigo® Techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy. Supporting healthy blood flow to the pelvic organs, including the prostate, may help reduce stagnation and inflammation.

Many men report noticeable improvements in circulation following treatment.

Benefits may include support for:

• Prostate health
• Varicose veins
• Premature ejaculation
• Certain erectile challenges
• Frequent or urgent urination

Digestive health is deeply connected to emotional and physical wellbeing. Many digestive concerns are commonly treated with medications that address symptoms rather than underlying causes.

The Arvigo® techniques may support individuals experiencing:

• Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
• Indigestion
• Constipation
• Heartburn

These techniques work by:

• Releasing tight musculature around the stomach and intestines
• Increasing blood flow to digestive and eliminative organs
• Gently massaging the diaphragm to encourage relaxation and ease

By improving circulation and releasing tension, the body is better supported in restoring balance across digestive, emotional, and energetic systems.
