Arvigo Abdominal Therapy
Arvigo Abdominal Therapy is….
a non-invasive technique of abdominal massage founded on ancient Mayan culture organized to establish health and balance to the systems of the body.
Gentle techniques are applied to the abdomen, sacrum, low back and hips with intentions of guiding and supporting internal organs into optimal position, encouraging circulation and opening of energetic pathways.
My Personal Development through Arvigo Abdominal Therapy
I first started with this modality as a personal preventative journey to avoid future health issues that have been present in my family history. Many women on my mother’s side including my mom received a hysterectomy in their 30’s or 40’s. Most due to fibroids or cysts that resulted in heavy and prolonged menstrual cycles.
Having my own personal irregularities in my menstrual cycle I searched for a therapeutic modality that worked on the abdomen that could help with my menstrual cycle and possibly avoid future surgery.
Coming across Arvigo Abdominal Therapy sparked my interest once reading how gentle techniques applied to the abdomen, sacrum, low back and hips could help support my uterus and provide circulation for optimal function of my menstruation. I was also drawn to the self-care techniques that are provided after a session to encourage self-care at home. I appreciated a therapeutic modality that would allow me to participate and tailor my personal care.
Learning and applying the Arvigo Abdominal self-care techniques has given me the ability to personalize my therapeutic care that works best for me and has allowed me to build a strong and healthy relationship with my abdomen. Not only did this therapy provide me with creating a healthier menstrual cycle but also received and noticed benefits that have affected my digestion and energetic connection.
Our abdomens are not just a gut or midsection with organs squished into it but an orchestra of mechanisms playing a symphony of a melody called balance. I hope with this therapy to provide others the ability to gain a connection to their abdomen and its dynamic system both physically and energetically.
“It is health that is the real wealth, and not pieces of gold and silver.” – Mahatma Gandhi

Function of Digestive System:
The digestive system is composed of 12 main parts along with accessory organs that provide hormones and chemicals important for the digestion process. Digesting is the process of breaking down food into molecules that supply our tissue and cells with energy and nutrients.
Effects to digestion can come from diet, history of surgeries, unresolved levels of stress, gut disorders or body armoring.
Abdomen and Energetic Connection:
Wilhelm Reich (psychiatrist) explained body armoring as “the mind will use the muscles and organs of the body as an outlet for pent up emotions”
Our emotions can get stored in our organs and tissues causing a block in our energetic pathways. Signs of body armoring could be shallow breathing, lack of range of motion and mobility or muscular tension. Applying massage to areas of the body of tension can encourage the breakdown of the body armoring defense mechanism and reduce muscular tension.
Arvigo Therapy Relating to Women’s Health
Address and alleviate menstrual symptoms such as bloating, painful/irregular periods, clots
Lessens pelvic organ congestion (endometriosis, cyst, fibroids)
Decreases pelvic prolapse
Minimize menopause symptoms
Function of Reproductive System:
The uterus rests between the bladder and rectum and is suspended in place by multiple ligaments.
The uterus is responsible for maintaining communication with hormones to produce a monthly menstruation cycle. Menstrual cycles can vary between 25-35 days, but what is important is what is consistent for you.
The ligaments of the uterus provide the ability to accommodate the changing functions within the pelvic floor such as filling and emptying of bladder, menstruation cycle and pregnancy.

I’ve been seeing Amanda to learn Arvigo Abdominal therapy and have seen massive results! Amanda is a great teacher. She has made it easy to take the practice home and now I really look forward to my own “tummy rubs”! It’s the perfect check in with myself a few times a week and is a true act of self-care. Amanda is also incredibly attentive, professional, and skilled providing a phenomenal, relaxing massage experience. I’m officially a regular!

I have had two appointments with Amanda. And I look forward to my third next week. She offers a relaxing touch with a knowledgeable technique. After learning about Arvigo, I was determined to find its place in my routine. After my first appointment and my at home routine I noticed so many changes in my body. I instantly felt lighter and decrease in belly bloat. Amanda was great and followed up with me right after my service and again a few weeks later to answer any questions and offer knowledge and support. I have struggled with terrible painful monthly cycles. I find that within the 60 days I have been practicing Arvigo my periods were light and not so painful , and more punctual between cycles. Can’t wait to write a review after 6 months of seeing Amanda. She is gifted in this massage, made me so comfortable, and really cares.
