While she is a strong and capable organ, the uterus is prone to misalignment. A uterus tilted too far one way can lead to back pain during menstruation, while a uterus tipped too far in another direction can lead to frequent urination. When the uterus is improperly positioned, blood flow to the reproductive organs is restricted and nerve function is disrupted, resulting in hormonal irregularities, fertility challenges, or pain.
The uterus isn’t the only organ that can be affected by malpositioning: the intestines, bladder, and male reproductive organs can also become restricted and congested, leading to a number of unwanted symptoms.
How Do Our Organs Become Malpositioned?
Our pelvic and lower abdominal organs can become misaligned due to a variety of reasons, including:
- Sacral or coccyx injuries from car accidents or falls
- Poor posture
- Wearing high heels (It’s true! Even a modest heel distorts the position of your hips and sacroiliac joints, putting stress on the ligaments that support your internal organs.)
- Weakened pelvic ligaments
- Pregnancy and childbirth
- Abdominal or pelvic surgeries
- Dysfunction of the pelvic floor muscles
- Pelvic venous congestion
Optimizing the Health of Our Pelvic Organs
Maya abdominal therapy is a gentle external massage that helps reposition the reproductive organs, bladder, and digestive organs to optimize their function. These techniques reduce pelvic and abdominal congestion and improve blood and lymphatic flow, optimizing the health of these organs.
The following conditions are often associated with uterine misalignment and pelvic congestion:
- Infertility
- Recurrent miscarriages
- Chronic pelvic pain
- Endometriosis
- PCOS, ovarian cysts
- Uterine fibroids
- Painful or heavy menses
- Irregular or absent menses
- PMS, hormone-induced mood swings
- Perimenopausal/menopausal symptoms
- Painful intercourse
- Low libido
- Pelvic organ prolapse
- Recurrent vaginal or urinary tract infections
- Pelvic varicosities
- Frequent urination, urinary incontinence
- Gastrointestinal conditions, including irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), chronic constipation or diarrhea, hemorrhoids
Males with the following conditions can also benefit from Maya abdominal therapy:
- Prostate enlargement
- Chronic prostatitis
- Erectile dysfunction
- Infertility
For women who wish to become pregnant, Maya abdominal therapy is a wonderful way to support you during the preconception period, optimizing the health of your uterus and enhancing ovarian function. It is also helpful during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy to promote a healthy labor and delivery. After childbirth, Maya abdominal therapy can support postpartum healing and allow for much-needed relaxation.
