Wax Therapy

Wax Therapy

At Pramukh Advance Physiotherapy Center, we blend traditional therapeutic methods with modern techniques to offer complete care and lasting relief. One such trusted treatment is Wax Therapy, an effective heat-based therapy used for pain relief, muscle relaxation, and joint mobility improvement.

What is Wax Therapy?

Wax Therapy, also known as Paraffin Wax Therapy, involves the application of warm, melted wax to the affected area. The heat from the wax penetrates deeply into the muscles and joints, helping to soothe aches, reduce stiffness, and improve circulation. It’s particularly effective in managing chronic pain and conditions involving joint stiffness.

How Wax Therapy Works

Warm paraffin wax is applied directly to the skin or the affected area is dipped into a wax bath. Once the wax cools and hardens slightly, it retains heat and gently warms the area for several minutes. This:

• Increases blood flow
• Reduces joint stiffness and muscle tightness
• Alleviates chronic pain
• Improves skin softness and elasticity
• Prepares the body for further physiotherapy or exercises
