About Mayan Abdominal Therapy

The Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy® are a non-invasive, external, massage technique. When applied, they guide internal abdominal organs into their proper position for optimum health and well being. The techniques work by relieving congestion and blockages to improve the flow of chi and fluids of the circulatory, lymphatic and nervous systems to prevent the progression of chronic disease. This results in improved organ function by releasing physical and emotional congestion from the abdomen. These techniques are effective for both men and women.
