Massage is currently unavailable due to the Covid-19 pandemic. We will keep you posted. - April 1st, 2020/

The Maya Abdominal Massage (MAM) is founded on the ancient Maya technique of abdominal massage. MAM is an external, non-invasive manipulation that repositions internal organs that have shifted, which can restrict the flow of blood, lymph, nerves and qi.

Reasons to get MAM:

Fertility to increase blood flow to the reproductive organs, make sure organs are in the correct position, reduce physical stagnations
Physical Stagnations in the lower abdomen: such as: adhesions, polyps, fibroids, endometriosis, cysts or tubal blockages

Using MAM is an important component of your fertility enhancement at Acupuncture Northwest & Associates. We recommend a MAM consultation for all of our fertility patients, to know where your uterus and other organs are positioned and whether adhesions are found.

MAM is especially helpful when you have:

Physical stagnations in the lower abdomen, such as:
- Adhesions
- Polyps
- Fibroids
- Endometriosis
- Cysts
- Tubal blockages

What you can expect at a MAM Fertility Consultation & Treatment:

Self Care
Learn self-care techniques to do at home.
Recommendations

Assessment
Have abdomen and reproductive organs assessed for adhesions and position.
Treatment
