Mayan Abdominal Massage
By and large, western medicine says that the position of the uterus is irrelevant. Those in the holistic world would tend to disagree with that statement. (In the images above, she’s resting on her back.) These are the positions of the uterus:
- Anteverted: tipped a little forward (most common position)
- Anteflexed: tipped very forward
- Retroverted: tipped a little backwards
- Retroflexed: tipped very backwards
The Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy teaches practitioners to gently lift and guide the uterus into the best space for it in your body through massage. This then creates optimal blood and lymph flow and can help with these conditions:
- Painful or irregular periods; painful or irregular ovulation
- Dark or brown blood at the onset and at the end of menstruation
- Headache or migraine with period
- Varicose veins of the legs and/or tired, weak or numb legs
- Low backache; back pain with period
- More serious imbalances including: Endometriosis, Uterine Fibroids and Uterine Polyps
- PMS/ depression
- Frequent urination; bladder infections, incontinence
- Recurrent vaginal infections
- Chronic miscarriages
- Difficulty getting pregnant/Infertility
- Painful intercourse
- Chronic constipation
- Difficult menopause
