An introduction to Arvigo® Techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy (ATMAT) in 4 fast facts

Resplendent Day Spa prioritizes massage therapy, as this category of treatment is a powerful healer for many health challenges – from poorly-managed stress to joint pain and dysfunction. Our team in Long Beach, California, also combines the best of ancient healing techniques and modern medicine to promote abdominal and pelvic health. Below are four facts about this healing combination: Arvigo^® Techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy (ATMAT).

1 – ATMAT has deep roots.

As its name suggests, ATMAT is rooted in the practices of traditional Mayan healers and shamans. This unique healing approach blends ancient wisdom with modern anatomical knowledge to improve abdominal and pelvic function. 

2 – ATMAT uses special massage techniques to resolve trauma, stress, and strain.

This therapy is based on the idea that our organs may shift or become congested due to traumatic episodes or chronic stress and strain. By applying deep and gentle external strokes to the lower back, base of the spine, and abdomen, our therapists encourage these organs back into their healthiest positions. Restoring natural and proper positioning improves circulation and the healthy flow of lymph and nerve signals/communication, which enhances overall organ function.

3 – ATMAT is for both women and men.

Your pelvic and abdominal health can be compromised due to many changes in your body and conditions. So, there are numerous potential applications for this therapy. For women, our therapists have helped to treat painful periods, irregular menstrual cycles, and conditions such as a displaced or prolapsed uterus. Additionally, ATMAT prepares the uterus and pelvis for conception, which has a favorable effect on fertility. For men, we can address issues with the prostate and bladder. And both men and women can enjoy better digestive health. Our clients have noted improvement in bloating, irritable bowel, constipation, and more after Arvigo^® abdominal massage. 

4 – ATMAT is a deeply relaxing process for self-healing. 

Many of our clients describe ATMAT as a highly calming and soothing process. Consider how the abdomen tends to store the stressors of our daily lives. So, it’s common for the individuals we treat to feel the tension and emotions released from their bodies. You will likely feel lighter following treatment as stress dissipates. With all of this being said, not unlike other massage therapies, you should expect some mild to moderate pressure as our practitioners work the deep tissues of your abdomen and pelvic area. It’s not unusual for the sensation to feel more intense in those areas that need the therapy the most, and where the tension is being held. 

It is a privilege to offer so many massage techniques to our neighbors in the greater Los Alamitos, Bellflower, Lakewood, and Long Beach, CA, area. You can benefit from our varied and extensive training at Resplendent Day Spa today.
