FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

HOW IS ARVIGO® THERAPY APPLIED?

This is a non-invasive, external, massage technique that gently guides internal abdominal organs into their proper position for optimum health and well-being. The technique works to relieve congestion and blockages by improving The 5 Systems of Flow (arterial, venous, lymphatic, nerve and chi).   This results in improved organ function by releasing physical and emotional congestion from the abdomen.
