Arvigo (Maya Abdominal) Therapy
Is a gentle yet profound massage technique rooted in ancient Maya tradition and science.
This non-invasive, external massage focuses on the health and position of abdominal and pelvic organs. It promotes optimal blood, lymph, nerve, and chi flow to support reproductive health, digestive health, and overall wellness.
During your session you’ll learn self-care techniques, including how to perform the abdominal massage on yourself and the applications of castor oil packs for added support.
Arvigo Therapy was developed by Dr. Rosita Arvigo, a Naprapath who trained in herbal medicine, spiritual healing, and traditional abdominal massage with the renowned Maya healer Don Elijio Panti. Rosita also studied with midwives and traditional healers in Mexico, deepening her focus on herbal medicine, spiritual healing, and women’s health.

FAQs
-
The central focus of Arvigo Therapy is on the proper alignment and function of the abdominal and pelvic organs. Many factors such as stress, injury, poor posture, childbirth, or surgical procedures can cause these organs to become misaligned, leading to a range of physical and emotional issues.
During an Arvigo Therapy session, the practitioner uses hands-on techniques to gently guide the organs back into their optimal position. This helps to improve blood flow, lymphatic drainage, nerve function, and the flow of energy throughout the body.
-
A typical Arvigo Therapy session begins with a detailed consultation to understand your health history, concerns, and goals. You will then lie on a massage table while the practitioner uses gentle abdominal massage techniques to assess and address the alignment of your organs. The session may also include guidance on self-care practices, such as abdominal massage techniques you can perform at home, herbal remedies, or lifestyle recommendations to support your ongoing health and well-being.
-
Pregnancy: abdominal massage is generally avoided during the first trimester.
Active infection: such as a urinary tract infection or pelvic inflammatory disease, is typically a contraindication until it has resolved.
Recent abdominal surgery: treatment should be postponed for at least 6-12 weeks post-surgery (or as recommended by a doctor).
IUD (Intrauterine Device): care should be taken with clients who have an IUD, as abdominal massage may shift its placement.
During menstruation: generally treatment is best avoided during menses however the practitioner can modify the massage and avoid deep work around the lower abdomen.
