How does Maya Abdominal Massage work?

Normally the uterus leans slightly over the bladder in the center of the pelvis, about one and a half inches above the pubic bone. It is held in this position by muscles, the vaginal wall and ligaments that attach it to the back, front, and sides of the pelvis. Uterine ligaments are made to stretch to accommodate a growing fetus inside and to move freely when the bladder or bowel is full. The ligaments and muscles can weaken and loosen, causing the uterus to fall downward, forward, backward or to either side. A uterus in any of these positions is called ’tilted’ or ‘prolapsed’. Unfortunately, modern medicine has little to offer women with this problem. Some options may include using the birth control pill, muscle relaxants, or surgery. Yet women have a laundry list of physical and emotional symptoms that can be addressed and prevented with these simple, noninvasive massage techniques. When reproductive organs shift, they can constrict the normal flow of blood and lymph and disrupt nerve connections. Just a few extra ounces sitting on blood and lymph vessels can cause havoc throughout the different systems in the body. By shifting the uterus back into place, homeostasis, or the natural balance of the body, is restored in the pelvic area and the surrounding organs. Toxins are flushed and nutrients that help to tone tissue and balance hormones are restored to normal order. This is essential for healthy pregnancy, labor, and delivery. Old adhesions from invasive treatments to the pelvic and abdominal area, including fibroid tumors, endometriosis, and cesarean delivery are diminished when addressed by uterine massage. In addition, digestion, urinary and bladder problems can be helped.

Emotional healing with abdominal therapy

Perhaps, even more extraordinary than the physical results of this work, is the incredible emotional healing that takes place with abdominal massage. I have seen people of all walks of life store decades worth of emotional memory in their belly and hip area. This is typically why we tend to see a lot of people overprotective of their abdomen and be very hesitant to let someone else touch them in those regions. But in doing so, we are able to release old trauma(s) and emotions that no longer serve us and thus restore balance and ease to our bodies.
