Maya Abdominal Therapy is a healing modality that has been used for centuries to support reproductive health and chronic pelvic pain. Rooted in the traditional practices of the Maya civilization, this gentle, non-invasive massage technique is designed to restore balance in the abdominal and pelvic regions, promoting overall well-being.
The Origins of Maya Abdominal Therapy
Maya Abdominal Therapy is based on indigenous healing wisdom passed down through generations, particularly from the Maya people of Central America. The technique was popularized by Dr. Rosita Arvigo, a naprapathic physician who apprenticed under Don Elijio Panti, a renowned Belizean shaman and healer. Dr. Arvigo combined traditional Maya massage methods with modern anatomical knowledge, bringing this powerful healing practice to the Western world.
How Maya Abdominal Therapy Works
This therapy focuses on the abdominal area, low back, and sacrum, as well as the buttock muscles and hips. The massage technique gently manipulates the muscles, fascia, and ligaments to release congestion, improve circulation, and support the body’s natural healing ability. By addressing stagnation in the abdomen, Maya Abdominal Therapy can enhance the function of vital systems such as:
- Reproductive System: Supports menstrual cycle regulation, fertility, and postpartum recovery.
- Digestive System: Aids in alleviating bloating, constipation, and indigestion.
- Circulatory System: Encourages lymphatic drainage and detoxification.
- Nervous System: Relieves stress and promotes relaxation by activating the parasympathetic response.
