Wax Therapy
Deep Heat Therapy for Pain Relief & Joint MobilityWax Therapy is a soothing deep heat treatment used in physiotherapy to relieve pain, reduce stiffness, improve blood circulation, and enhance joint mobility. The treatment involves applying warm paraffin wax to the affected area, usually the hands, feet, or stiff joints. The gentle heat relaxes muscles, softens connective tissues, and prepares the body for stretching, exercise, and rehabilitation.
Wax Therapy, also known as Paraffin Wax Therapy, is a therapeutic heat treatment that uses molten paraffin wax to deliver deep and comfortable warmth to muscles and joints.
As the warm wax surrounds the skin, it helps relax tight muscles, improve circulation, reduce pain and stiffness, increase tissue flexibility, and improve joint movement. It is especially beneficial for painful hands, feet, and arthritic joints.

During the treatment, warm paraffin wax is applied in multiple layers over the affected area. The wax retains heat and transfers it slowly into the tissues, helping improve circulation and relax stiff joints and muscles.
After the wax hardens slightly, the area is wrapped for insulation and left for around 15-20 minutes before removal. The treatment is often followed by stretching, joint mobilization, hand exercises, and physiotherapy rehabilitation.
