Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal MassageTM (ATMAM)
is also known as Maya Abdominal Massage (MAM)


MAM is a non-invasive, external, massage technique.  It guides internal abdominal organs into their proper position and aligns structures of the hipe and sacrum to allow for optimum health and well-being.  MAM improves organ function bbe releaseing physical and emotional congestions from the center of the body. 

The techniques apply anatomy, physiology, herbology and naprapathy, (study of the ligaments, joints and muscles), with ancient Maya healing techniques to address common female and male complaints. The technique works by relieving congestion and blockages to improve the flow of chi and fluids of the circulatory, lymphatic and nervous systems to prevent the progression of chronic disease symptomology.
