Background

The Arvigo Technique of Maya Abdominal Therapy® is based on 30 years and more of research into massage, healing, and herbology by Dr. Rosita Arvigo. Dr. Arvigo studied under the great Maya Shaman of Belize, Don Elijio Panti and alongside Hortence Robinson, midwife from Belize with 60 years' experience.

ATMAT is noninvasive massage of the upper and lower abdomen, low back and tailbone; which supports optimal function of the organs, and the body's natural healing capacity. It is based on traditional ancient Maya medicine. It's most well- known for addressing optimal uterine position and widely known to support fertility and menopause, digestive challenges, dysmenorrhea, fibroids, cysts, back pain, varicose veins, and prostrate health to name a few, as well as overall well-being.

How it Works: Homeostasis and Hemodynamics

ATMAT® focuses on homeostasis, internal balance, and hemodynamics, dynamic blood circulation. When we are in homeostasis, our bodies adapt more readily to fluctuating conditions.

Hemodynamics allows the dynamic flow of fluids in the system like blood and lymph to circulate, and ATMAT helps by allow once stagnant fluid to move freely, bringing in new life. Our blood literally transports new nourishing oxygen to feed the cells and releases debris from the body.

With ATMAT, we work with the five channels of flow -- arteries, veins, nerves, lymphatics, and chi -- to maintain harmony of communication and continual integration.

ATMAT addresses the health and position of the pelvic and abdominal organs. This work is widely recognized for:
·       Correction of a fallen, tilted or prolapsed uterus
·       Prevention and treatment of benign prostate enlargement
·       Relief of many common digestive disorders

· Ovarian cysts
· Painful intercourse
· PMS
· Postpartum healing, vaginal and c-section births
· Prolapsed or tilted uterus

Modifications and Contraindications

If any of the following applies, we will need to modify your treatment. Feel free to email me, heidi@rootdownhealingarts.com

· Active menstruation. It’s optimal to receive ATMAT® when you are NOT on your moon (menses). Anytime up to 3-5 days prior to menses is ideal for receiving the Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy®. It is still possible and acceptable to perform upper abdominal, sacrum, and coccyx work when one is menstruating, but massage cannot be given directly over the uterus at that time.

·    IUDs
· Recent abdominal surgery
· Infection or cancer in the pelvic area
· Chemotherapy
·    First trimester (19 weeks) of pregnancy (modification of ATMAT® is acceptable)
·    Hiatal hernia (gentle massage required)
·    Active and acute infection
·    Abdominal aneurysm
·    Diastasis rectus
·    Pessary for uterine prolapse (remove prior to your session)
·    Any serious health condition
