Paraffin wax therapy for painful hands
Do you or someone you know suffer from painful or arthritic hands during winter.
Wax bath physiotherapy, using paraffin wax, is one of the most effective ways of applying heat to improve joint mobility by warming the connective tissues. It is mainly used for painful hands and feet and is used in conjunction with gentle mobilising techniques and a tailored exercise programme.
It is ideal for pain relief and maintaining movement in arthritis as well as for post-traumatic stiff hands.
