A Brief History of Arvigo® Therapy

The Arvigo Techniqes of Maya Abdominal Therapy® was founded by Dr. Rosita Arvigo.

Dr. Arvigo is a Naprapathic physician, herbalist, international speaker and author. She has lived and studied with many traditional healers in Central America for over 40 years, the most notable of whom was Don Elijio Panti, the renowned Maya shaman of Belize.

She combined her knowledge of anatomy, physiology and Naprapathy (study of muscles, ligaments, connective tissues similar to Osteopathy) with her extensive acquired background in traditional healing methods, and formu-lated the Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy®.

Dr. Arvigo founded the Ix Chel Tropical Research Foundation which supports the traditions of Maya healers in Belize, helping to preserve and promote knowledge of sustainable organic cultivation as a substitute for destruction and depletion of the rainforest.
Dr. Arvigo established the Arvigo Institute in 2000 which now trains healthcare professionals worldwide.
