PhysioRehabPlus utilizes paraffin baths as a therapeutic modality to deliver heat therapy to patients. This treatment involves immersing the affected body part, such as hands or feet, into melted paraffin wax.
The wax is heated to a specific temperature, typically around 52-55 degrees Celsius, which allows it to transfer heat effectively to the skin and underlying tissues.
Pain Relief
The heat from the paraffin wax helps to alleviate pain and stiffness in joints and muscles.
Improved Circulation
Heat therapy promotes blood flow, which can aid in healing and reduce inflammation.
Soft Skin
The wax can also soften and moisturize the skin, making it beneficial for conditions like arthritis and dry skin.
Muscle Relaxation
The heat from the paraffin wax helps muscles to relax, which can reduce muscle spasms and tension.
