Arvigo® Maya Abdominal Therapy for Fertility & Reproductive Health
The Arvigo® Techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy (ATMAT)are based on a traditional form of abdominal massage developed from Maya healing practices and refined through modern clinical application. This gentle, external, and noninvasive therapy focuses on supporting optimal position and mobility of the abdominal and pelvic organs.
When organs in the pelvis or abdomen lose their natural alignment or mobility, the circulation of blood, lymph, and nerve signals can be compromised. Over time, this may contribute to congestion, discomfort, hormonal imbalance, or impaired reproductive function. Arvigo Maya Abdominal Therapy is designed to gently encourage improved circulation and organ mobility, supporting the body’s natural ability to regulate and heal.
By improving blood and lymphatic flow, this work helps the body clear metabolic waste more efficiently while supporting the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to reproductive tissues. These processes play an important role in uterine health, ovarian function, and overall hormonal balance—key components of a healthy menstrual cycle and fertility.
Supporting Fertility and Preparing the Body for Pregnancy
Arvigo abdominal massage is commonly used as part of
fertility care to support uterine and pelvic health. It may be especially helpful for individuals with a history of pelvic tension, menstrual discomfort, or conditions associated with restricted circulation.
This work is often used to support:
- Uterine and pelvic circulation
- Healthy tissue tone and mobility
- Menstrual cycle regulation
- Hormonal balance
- Preparation of the body for conception and pregnancy
Adhesions and fascial restrictions resulting from pelvic inflammation, fibroids, endometriosis, or prior abdominal procedures may limit mobility within the pelvic cavity. Gentle abdominal therapy can help reduce restriction over time, supporting improved circulation and more optimal function of reproductive organs.
Rather than forcing change, this work supports the body’s own regulatory mechanisms and is often combined with acupuncture, herbal medicine, and nutritional guidance as part of a comprehensive fertility care plan.
Hormonal Balance and Whole-System Support
Hormonal signaling is influenced by circulation, nervous system regulation, and metabolic health. Arvigo Maya Abdominal Therapy supports these systems indirectly by encouraging improved communication between pelvic organs and the endocrine system.
By helping relieve tension and congestion in the abdomen and pelvis, this therapy may support healthier hormonal rhythms, including those involved in ovulation and the luteal phase of the cycle. Many patients find that regular treatments contribute to improved cycle awareness, reduced discomfort, and a greater sense of connection to their body.
Postpartum Support & Cesarean Scar Care
Arvigo Maya Abdominal Therapy can also be deeply supportive during the
postpartum period, when the body is undergoing another major transition. After pregnancy and birth, the uterus gradually returns to its pre-pregnancy size and position, and tissues throughout the abdomen and pelvis continue to heal and reorganize.
For individuals who have had a cesarean birth, scar tissue can affect not only the skin but also deeper layers of fascia and connective tissue. Restricted scar mobility may contribute to pelvic discomfort, digestive issues, altered posture, or ongoing tension in the abdomen and low back. It is recommended to wait at least 8 weeks after a C-section to receive an Arvigo treatment.
Gentle postpartum abdominal therapy may help:
- Support uterine involution and pelvic recovery
- Improve circulation and lymphatic drainage after birth
- Reduce restriction and adhesions associated with cesarean scars
- Support core and pelvic stability
- Ease discomfort related to scar tension and fascial imbalance
Scar work is always approached gradually and respectfully, honoring the healing timeline of each individual. When appropriate, this work can help restore mobility and comfort while supporting long-term pelvic and abdominal health.
A Gentle, Integrative Approach
Arvigo® Maya Abdominal Therapy is most effective when used as part of an individualized, integrative care plan. Whether supporting fertility, preparing for pregnancy, or aiding postpartum recovery, the intention is to help the body regain balance, circulation, and resilience.
