A Gentle, Holistic Approach to Gut Wellness
Digestive discomfort—whether it’s bloating, constipation, heartburn, or irregular bowel movements—can affect far more than your stomach. It impacts your energy, mood, and overall sense of well-being. While dietary choices and stress management are important, hands-on therapies can also play a powerful role in restoring digestive balance.

What Is Arvigo® Abdominal Therapy?
Arvigo® Abdominal Therapy Supports Digestive Health through a gentle, non-invasive massage technique that focuses on the abdomen, low back, and sacrum. This method, based on traditional Maya healing techniques taught by Dr. Rosita Arvigo, helps improve the flow of blood, lymph, nerve signals, and energy to the abdominal and pelvic organs.
By releasing tension, easing restrictions, and improving organ alignment, this therapy supports optimal function of the digestive, reproductive, and urinary systems.
How Arvigo® Abdominal Therapy Supports Digestive Health
Digestive issues often have multiple causes—stress, structural tension, past injuries, or even posture can all affect how well our gut functions. Arvigo® therapy works on both a physical and energetic level to support:
Improved circulation to digestive organs
Enhanced lymphatic flow to reduce inflammation
Relaxation of abdominal tension that can interfere with digestion
Better nerve communication between the brain and gut
Release of scar tissue adhesions from surgeries or injuries
Clients often report relief from symptoms such as:
Bloating and gas
Constipation or sluggish digestion
Heartburn or reflux
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
Abdominal discomfort after eating

The Mind-Gut Connection
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the digestive system is deeply linked to the Earth element, which governs nourishment, stability, and mental clarity. Stress, overthinking, and emotional strain can disrupt digestion just as much as the diet can.
Arvigo® therapy addresses this connection by helping the nervous system shift into a rest-and-digest state, where the body can process and absorb nutrients more effectively.
At East West Integrative Medicine, Stephanie Haney, L.Ac., offers Arvigo® Abdominal Therapy as part of a comprehensive, integrative approach to digestive health.
