Why does it happen and what you can you do about it?

Period pain

Many women experience severe period pain during all or part of their menstruation. Often period pains are due to the positioning of your uterus which prevents your uterus from receiving the oxygen it needs. During your period, the contractions are less effective and your uterus needs to produce stronger contractions which leads to more pain.

The Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy improve blood flow to your pelvis and support your uterus to return to optimal positioning. As a result, period pain is significantly reduced and often eliminated entirely.

Ovulation pain

Not all women feel ovulation and even those who do, most don’t suffer from strong pain. However, if you experience ovulation so painfully it affects your everyday activities and you need painkillers to get through the day you are not alone.

These pains sometimes appear in the same place every month or move around. In many cases, the underlying issue is the positioning of the uterus and pelvic adhesions.

The Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy support your uterus to return to optimal positioning, helps break down adhesions and reduce the pain around ovulation.

Stomach pain

Stomach pain is often caused by issues in your digestive system: constipation, a sluggish digestive system, gas, heartburn, heartburn, Chrohns, colitis, etc.

If the blood, energy and lymph flow to your pelvic area is compromised in some way or your organs are not in their optimal position it can severely impact on their function which often results in pain.

The Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy can help reduce or eliminate the symptoms you’re experiencing in your digestive system and bring you significant relief from stomach pain.

Pain during sex

Unfortunately, this is a very common issue but understandably most people don’t want to talk about it.

You may know the reason for the pain: vaginismus, vestibulism or another cause but there isn’t always a clear reason for the pain. Either way, it can be frustrating and depressing and cause relationship issues.

What seems to be clear is that there is a lot of tension present in the pelvic area and once you anticipate the pain your body tenses up even more. I help women to relax the tension in their abdomen and pelvis in order to release the pain. In addition, The Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy help to return the uterus to the correct position, improve blood and energy flow to the area and make lovemaking pleasant and enjoyable again. It’s even been known to improve orgasms.

The Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy is based on holistic techniques from the ancient Maya tribe. The techniques help to repair the muscles and strengthen the ligaments supporting the uterus. In addition, the treatment improves the natural blood flow and energy flow and is so helpful in reducing and eliminating different types of pelvic pain!

What to expect from Arvigo therapy treatment:

Every woman responds differently to the treatment. Sometimes there is an immediate and significant improvement after a single treatment. However, in many cases treatment is a process rather than a single session. We work together to uncover the root cause of the problem. Arvigo therapy includes learning how to treat and massage your belly (we call it “self-care”) to improve blood and energy flow to your belly and reduce pain. During the treatment, I integrate emotional support via conversation, Bach Flower remedies and other techniques. These work together to support you while we work on reducing and eliminating the pain.

Here’s what others have to say about my treatments for pain:

After operation to remove a uterine growth:

I came to see Annette after an operation to remove a growth from my uterus in order to prevent adhesions as a result of the operation. The treatment was very pleasant and very feminine. I felt supported and listened to. it was like floating in a safe and enveloping cloud.

The two periods after the treatment were different. I felt like my uterus had changed and was releasing an old pattern that had been stuck there for a while.

I do the self care I learnt from Annette every evening. Since then my period is more pleasant, my belly is softer and there is less pain, even after the operation.

I really believe that every women need to learn and experience this tool called Arvigo. Everyone women has a complicated relationship with her uterus, sexuality, her yoni, and healing this place is significant and powerful. And of course it’s great for any woman experiencing irregular periods, pain, fertility problems, etc.

Severe period pain:

I highly recommend going to Annette for treatment! The treatment has helped me so much to cope with and reduce my menstrual cramps.

The massage itself is pleasant and relaxing and I really felt it releasing physical and emotional blockages for me.

Annette is empathetic, sensitive and supportive and I had a really good time meeting her. I was given a safe place to share my pain, as well as help and coping tools.

Massage is a very powerful tool and the connection between body and mind has been very significant to me. And it was all done gently with support and at my pace.

I was very happy to give myself this gift to know Annette and be cared for by her. It really is a privilege and I highly recommend it to any woman !!

Endometriosis:

I always look forward to coming to Annette for a treatment. Arvigo really helped me with my symptoms related to endometriosis, especially the pain. Combined with the reflexology, it helped me increase my energy and feel like a new person. Annette is fantastic and she has magical hands.

Period pain:

I would recommend going to Annette because her treatment causes you to take a pause and think and connect with your body every day when you do the self care massages at home. That has been very helpful in addition to the the Arvigo massage therapy I received from her. I felt the treatment was very effective and worthwhile. My period pain is gone!
