If you're not bouncing out of bed with energy every morning, you're not living at 100 percent capacity.
If you feel tired during the day, your aches and pains are getting worse, you're putting on weight, you feel you're aging too quickly, or you're not as strong as you used to be - these are all signs you're not functioning at 100 percent.
These aren't just signs that you're getting old but that you might have an imbalance your traditional doctor isn't treating.
Basically, what we accept as normal is living at 60 to 70 percent of optimal function.

The Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy are founded on the ancient techniques of abdominal massage as taught to Dr. Rosita Arvigo by Don Elijio Panti, a traditional healer from Belize.

It is best known for correcting a uterus that has shifted from its proper alignment as a result of improper posture, accidents, chronic constipation, muscular spasms of the low back and sacral area, difficult labor, pregnancies too close together, improper care after childbirth, emotional armoring, and sexual trauma.

Acupuncture is the practice of inserting ultra fine needles into specific points of energy that are located along 14 Channels that cover the entire body.
There are 365 classical Acupuncture points associated with the 14 channels and 40 'extra' points that are not associated with any particular channels.
These points and channels, established millennia ago and confirmed by consistent practice, have show that skillful insertion and manipulation of specific points will produce predictable results in the body.
