Description

Wax therapy, a form of thermotherapy in physiotherapy, involves immersing body parts in molten paraffin wax. The wax is heated to a specific temperature and then applied to the affected area, creating a soothing, warm sensation. This technique is used to relieve pain, relax muscles, and promote healing. It is particularly effective for conditions like arthritis, joint stiffness, muscle spasms, and certain sports injuries. The wax's heat helps improve blood flow, increase tissue flexibility, and reduce inflammation. As the wax cools and solidifies, it molds to the body's contours, providing a snug fit. Wax therapy is a well-tolerated and non-invasive method frequently utilized by physiotherapists for pain management and rehabilitation.
