Mayan Abdominal Therapy in Naperville

Mayan Abdominal Therapy consists of a TDP lamp being placed on the stomach to add minerals and aid in healing, cupping of the stomach meridians, vagus nerve stimulation and non-invasive manipulation that repositions internal body organs follows. The techniques work 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. This results in improved organ function by releasing physical and emotional congestion from the abdomen. These techniques are effective for both men and women.

How do the techniques work for women?

This external massage gently lifts and guides the uterus into its optimal position in the lower pelvis. The uterus is held in position by over 10 ligaments. Ligaments, when stressed or strained cause the uterus to become mal-positioned. If the uterus is mal-positioned, women experience a multitude of symptoms.

What could cause a displaced uterus?

Injury to the sacrum or tailbone from a fall, car accidents, etc
Pelvic ligaments that have weakened due to overstretching during pregnancy and birth
High Impact exercise, running on cement surfaces, high impact aerobics, etc
Lifting & carrying heavy objects before or during menstruation and too soon after childbirth
Time and gravity
Past surgeries
Weak pelvic floor muscles
Chronic muscle spasm around the low back and sacrum
Emotional armoring

How are the techniques helpful for men?

The techniques are applied the same way for men. The prostate is a glandular organ that rests behind the bladder, but has no ligaments to speak of for support. The prostate gland can become congested resulting in early stages of Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy (BPH), impotence (depending on the cause), decrease sperm count, etc. By applying the massage to the abdomen it supports healthy organ function and relieves congestion.

I've had a Hysterectomy - how do the techniques help?

Women who have had hysterectomies benefit greatly from these technqiues as it improves circulation in and around the area of the scar. When circulation is improved, scar tissue will be prevented from forming in the pelvis after surgery. Ligaments and other remaining organs are benefited from improving circulatory flow to the pelvis.

How do the techniques support digestion?

Many anxieties and emotions through life are stored in our body's tissues and organs. A very common place is in the organs of the digestive system. Those so called "butterflies in your stomach" can lead to constipation, indigestion, heartburn, gastritis, and eventually to Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Gasto Esophageal Reflux (GERD), Crohn's and more.

Stresses and emotions cause the small intestine and colon to be "twisted or kinked" leading the blockages in the flow of peristalsis. Surrounding fascia creates adhesion’s that mal-position organs and impede proper blood flow and enzyme secretions. These techniques slowly improve fascia adhesion’s, scar tissue and remove any "kinks" in the digestive tract. Often there is a dramatic improvement after just one session when combined with proper diet and self-care.

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. 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 in women to be corrected and for the ligaments to gain enough strength and elasticity for it to stay in place.Women often report a rapid improvement in symptoms and sense of wellbeing when self-care is performed regularly. 3 sessions are usually the minimum.
