Wax Therapy is a form of deep heat therapy
that includes warming of connective tissues by applying heat which results in
improved joint mobility. Mainly treated for painful hands and feet, it is used
in conjunction with gentle mobilizing techniques and customized exercise
program to achieve great results. It is an ideal therapy that aids in pain
relief and movement maintenance in arthritis as well as in treating stiff
post-traumatic hands.
How does it work?
In wax therapy, molten paraffin wax is
applied on the skin in gentle smoothing strokes, layer after layer so that it
gets built up. The wax starts turning hard as it gets wrapped in plastic and
placed inside electrically heated mitt. Once the treatment is over, the wax can
be easily peeled off with no pain and then the area is ready for a massage,
exercise, stretching, or any additional therapeutic measures if necessary.
