These non-invasive external massage techniques, as practiced today, were developed by Dr. Rosita Arvigo in order to:

• Focus on the abdomen and pelvis in guiding the internal reproductive organs into their proper position, relieving tension in the diaphragm and abdominal musculature, and aligning the pelvis
• Improve organ function by releasing physical and emotional congestion, thereby helping to re-establish healthy circulation in the pelvic region
• Enhance circulation of blood and lymphatic fluids, and the elimination and secretion of hormones –  essential for general pelvic health as well as healthy conception, pregnancy, and delivery
