Reflexology therapist opens local office

Reflexology is the practice of massaging and hitting pressure points in the hands and feet to produce better health. Rhonda Scott is a licensed reflexologist who is opening a local office here this Saturday.

Rhonda’s office is located in the Professional Building at 111 W. Court Square. Although she won’t open till Saturday, she is currently taking appointments at 474-FEET.

‘This benefits the whole body,’ said Rhonda, who is licensed through the state. ‘It can give you energy and help you sleep better. It’s a drugless practice. If at all possible, you don’t have to take medication.’

I remember taking an interest in reflexology as a teenage when I found one of those charts that identified different areas of the foot. According to reflexology principles, the regions of the foot correspond to areas of the body. By manipulating a specific area of the foot, it can help relieve headaches, for example. There’s a different region of the foot and hand for virtually every part of your body.

‘It depends on how long you’ve had the problem as to how many treatments you need,’ said Rhonda, who indicated long-standing problems might take a number of treatments to correct.

Reflexology is different from massage therapy in that it concentrates only on the feet and hands. In fact, Rhonda’s license confines her to only treating the feet and hands, and no other part of the body.

If you’d like to give reflexology a try, Rhonda is ready to take your appointment.
