Medical Abdominal Therapy: Dr. Arvigo's Technique

This therapy is based on ancient Mayan techniques of abdominal massage that have been practiced by traditional healers for thousands of years in treating the reproductive, digestive, and urinary systems as well as emotional, energetic, and spiritual imbalances. 

A Chicago native Dr. Rosita Arvigo learned this healing technique from the Maya shaman, Don Elijio Panti (1893-1996) in Belize. Dr. Arvigo combined her knowledge of anatomy, physiology, and naprapathy (study of muscles, ligaments, and connective tissues) with these traditional methods to form her own way of the abdominal therapy technique. This is a non-invasive anterior and posterior abdominal massage that gently guides and supports misaligned internal organs back into proper position, effectively alleviating tissue congestion and organ constriction to improve the vital flows of energy, blood, lymph, and nerves in the abdomen. This can nourish and repair the organs and systems naturally. It also can release emotional and energetic tension from the abdomen. This assists to prevent the progression of symptoms to more chronic disease states while improving the body's ability to self-repair and balance.
