On the day of your treatment…
- You will need to allow approximately 1 ½ hours for all MAM treatments.
- As much as you can, allow yourself some extra time after your treatment so that your body can enjoy and continue to integrate the treatment.
- Eat only lightly a couple of hours before.
During your treatment…
- Review of your client intake form and discussion of your health care needs.
- Evaluation and application of structural alignment of lower spine with attention to the sacrum, lumbar and thoracic spine.
- Abdominal massage focused on aligning pelvic and abdominal organs and opening up the channels of flow in and out of the abdomen.
- Additional techniques to complement the Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy™ according to individual need (i.e. Reiki, Massage, Reflexology)
- Consult focused on lifestyle changes.
Follow up treatments…
It is recommended to follow up with at least 3 treatments within a few months of each other. One of these follow up treatments should include Instruction in Self Care techniques that individuals can apply at home to enhance the benefit provided by an Arvigo Practitioner. Following Instruction in Self Care, the frequency is totally dependent on client need and desire for ongoing sessions.
What is “Self Care” and why does it help?
Each client is instructed in performing the abdominal massage for themselves. By doing self care massage daily for 2 – 3 minutes of daily massage, it provides the individual with the ability to improve their symptoms while working with their practitioner. Over the years, practitioners report that their clients obtain relief from their symptoms quicker when they perform daily self care techniques and make the necessary life style changes than clients who do not.
How quickly should I expect a change?
Depending on the severity of the problem, it may take as little as one session and as long as many months for the uterine position to be corrected and for the ligaments to gain enough strength and elasticity for it to stay in place. 3 sessions are usually the minimum. Women often report a rapid improvement in symptoms and sense of wellbeing when self-care is performed regularly.
“Thank you for the knowledge you impart regarding the self care techniques. I really am so excited at the prospect of the gradually improving health of my reproductive, digestive, endocrine etc systems and knowing I am learning the procedures to treat myself!”
