Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is The Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy®?The Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy® is a non-invasive, external, massage technique. It guides internal abdominal organs into their proper position for optimum health and well being. The technique works 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 symptomology. Maya massage improves organ function by releasing physical and emotional congestion from the abdomen. This massage is effective for both men and women.

How quickly should I expect a change?Depending on the severity of the problem, it may take as little as one session and as long as many months for the uterine position to be corrected and for the ligaments to gain enough strength and elasticity for it to stay in place. 3 sessions are usually the minimum.

I've had a Hysterectomy - how does ATMAT help?Women who have had hysterectomies benefit greatly from Arvigo Techniques of The The Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy®as well. The technique improves circulation in and around the area of the scar and allows for proper flow of the lymph, which often becomes blocked after surgery, resulting in swelling, burning and deep aching pains in the pelvis.

By strengthening and toning the uterus, ligaments and other pelvic organs, the massage helps to place and maintain the uterus in her optimal position for giving birth. Well being of the mother and baby are improved as they prepare for labor and delivery. Our midwife practitioners apply this technique during labor and delivery and report a decrease in laboring and easy delivery for mom and baby.

Deborah has had several women successfully transition to VBAC by receiving professional care and doing their home care regularly.
How does ATMAT help with digestion?Many anxieties and emotions through life are stored in our body's tissues and organs. A very common place is in the organs of the digestive system. Those so called "butterflies in your stomach" can lead to constipation, indigestion, heartburn, gastritis, and eventually to Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Gasto Esophageal Reflux (GERD), Crohn's and more. Stresses and emotions cause the small intestine and colon to be "twisted or kinked" leading the blockages in the flow of peristalsis. Surrounding fascia creates adhesions that mal-position organs and impede proper blood flow and enzyme secretions. The The Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy® helps to break down facial adhesions, scar tissue and removes any "kinks" in the digestive tract. Often there is a dramatic improvement after just one session when combined with proper diet and self-care.
Will ATMAT help with digestion problems following abdominal surgery?Scar tissue and facial adhesions can often cause problems with digestion after abdominal surgery. The The Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy® helps to break down the scar tissue and adhesion from past or present surgeries. A few sessions combined with castor oil packs, diet and self care are often used depending on the restriction for optimal success. ATMAT is contraindicated immediately following abdominal surgery, allow 4-6 weeks or at the consent of your physician.
What is "Self Care" and why does it help?Each client is instructed in performing the abdominal massage for themselves. By doing self care massage daily for 2 - 3 minutes of daily massage, it provides the individual with the ability to improve their symptoms while working with their practitioner.
