Cancellation Policy and Fees
Your therapy times are reserved exclusively for you. We value your business and ask that you respect our scheduling policies. Should you need to cancel or reschedule, please notify us at least 48 hours in advance or you could be charged for the appointment.
Clients who miss their appointments without giving any prior notification will be charged in full for the scheduled service. We recognize the time of our clients and staff is valuable and have implemented this policy for this reason. When you miss an appointment with us, our therapists not only lose your business, but also the potential business of other clients who could have scheduled an appointment for the same time. Additionally, many times our staff will be functioning in an "on-call" status and may have traveled to the office specifically for your service. For these reasons, we are obligated to compensate our staff for their time.
Arriving late
If you are late to your session you are welcome to receive whatever time is left in your appointment. Due to our tightly booked schedule we are generally unable to extend your session beyond your original appointment time. Regardless of the length of the service actually given, you will be responsible for payment of the full service you scheduled.

VERSATILITY IN THERAPIES
Massage at Orvis Hot Springs
Swedish Massage
A system of therapeutic massage and exercise for the muscles and joints, developed in Sweden in the 1800s, it is the most commonly used form of classical Western massage, generally performed in the direction of the heart, sometimes with active or passive movement of the joints. It is used especially for relaxation, relief of muscular tension and improvement of circulation and range of motion.
Sports Massage
A group of contemporary Western massage techniques designed to enhance athletic performance and promote healing post-injury, it can include Swedish massage, cross-fiber friction massage, deep-compression massage, and trigger-point therapy.
Energy Work
Techniques originating from ancient traditions and recent discoveries, energy work is used to manipulate the bioenergy of the patient with the goal of restoring harmony or removing blockages from within the body.
Deep Tissue Massage
A group of massage techniques designed to access multiple layers of muscle and fascia to improve alignment, reduce levels of resting tension and create more efficient postural and movement patterns. The therapist uses their fingers, thumbs and elbows to release chronic muscle tension, using slow, deep strokes and friction. It can increase blood flow, decrease muscle pain, rehabilitate muscle injuries, and reduce arthritic pain.
Integrative
Mainstream and alternative massage therapies to treat musculoskeletal disease, this combination of modalities helps address the unique needs of each massage client.
Accupressure
A form of touch therapy that utilizes the principles of acupuncture and Chinese medicine, acupressure uses finger pressure on the same points on the body as acupuncture. It has been known to treat many conditions such as headaches, body pain, arthritis, allergies, asthma, nervous tension, menstrual cramps, sinus problems and toothaches.
