Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy®
The Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy® (ATMAT) is an external massage technique that guides internal abdominal organs into their proper position (with a focus on aligning the uterus) for optimum health and well-being. Maya massage improves organ function by releasing physical and emotional congestion from the abdomen. This improves the flow of the circulatory, lymphatic and nervous systems to prevent symptoms that can lead to chronic disease. What types of symptoms may be addressed by ATMAT? ATMAT involves the entire abdomen and pelvis to help improve:
Urinary leakage (incontinence), frequent urinary tract infections, urinary urgency and frequency
Bony pelvic and hip pain including postpartum, post cesarean and post gynecological surgery
Lower back pain
Fertility challenges
Constipation, sluggish digestion, bloating
Pelvic heaviness/fullness, cystocele, rectocele, pelvic organ prolapse
Endometriosis, heavy periods
Painful menstrual periods, PMS
Improved circulatory, lymphatic, and nervous system function
Release of physical and emotional congestion from the abdomen
Proper alignment and positioning of internal organs, with a focus on the uterus
Overall optimum health and well-being
Thai Massage
Thai massage is a traditional form of bodywork practiced fully-clothed on a cotton floor mat. Deeply relaxing, it incorporates gentle stretches and rocking movements as well as acupressure and soft tissue compression. Good for lengthening muscles, lubricating joints, and stimulating the lymphatic system, it is deeply relaxing. It is adaptable for all body types and is excellent for pregnancy and postpartum.

Therapeutic table massage is a Swedish style massage, familiar to most people. Suitable for anyone, table massage promotes deep relaxation, improves circulation of blood and lymph, and increases homeostasis in the body.
