Maya Massage Therapy for Women
The Arvigo techniques of Maya Abdominal Massage address the position and health of pelvic and abdominal organs and improves organ function by releasing physical and emotional congestion from the abdomen.
The massage is performed in a slow, deep, penetrating manner to the abdomen and lower back which helps to guide internal reproductive organs into their proper position. By softening deep muscle tissue spasms, it also helps to release muscular armoring in the trunk and tension in the diaphragm.
