After 6 weeks postpartum, the new mother can receive a full Maya Abdominal Therapy session (only if delivery was normal without complications). The massage gently lifts and guides the uterus into its optimal position in the lower pelvis as well as supporting other organs to return to their optimum position. The uterus is held in position by over 10 ligaments. Pelvic ligaments weaken due to overstretching during pregnancy and birth. Ligaments, when stressed or strained cause the uterus to become displaced. If the uterus is displaced, women experience a multitude of symptoms.
- By shifting the uterus back into place, homeostasis, or the natural balance of the body, is restored in the pelvic area and the surrounding organs.
- Toxins are flushed and nutrients that help to tone tissue and balance hormones are restored to normal order. This is essential for healthy reproductive functioning, such as painless periods, healthy pregnancy, effective labour and birth.
- Old adhesions from invasive treatments to the pelvic and abdominal area, including caesarean delivery are diminished when addressed by uterine massage.
In addition, digestion, urinary and bladder problems can be helped with this technique.
