Paraffin Wax Bath Therapy is a soothing heat treatment that uses melted paraffin wax to deliver deep, penetrating warmth to joints, muscles, and connective tissues. The therapy helps reduce stiffness, ease chronic pain, and improve circulation, especially in small joints like fingers, wrists, ankles, and feet.
At Sanjeevni Physiotherapy Clinic, we use medical-grade paraffin wax in a safe, hygienic environment to treat a variety of orthopedic and rheumatic conditions, offering both therapeutic and relaxation benefits.

Our Treatment Approach at Sanjeevni Physiotherapy Clinic
At Sanjeevni Physiotherapy Clinic, we begin with a detailed assessment to identify areas of fascial restriction, trigger points, and postural imbalances. Based on your unique condition, we craft a personalized therapy plan focused on long-term recovery.
How the Therapy Works:
- Wax Melting & Preparation
The paraffin wax is melted in a specialized container and maintained at a safe, consistent temperature (typically around 50–55°C). - Application Process
The target body part (hand, foot, elbow, etc.) is cleaned and then dipped several times into the melted wax to form a warm, waxy coating. - Heat Retention
The area is wrapped with a plastic cover and towel to trap the heat and allow deeper penetration into tissues. - Therapeutic Phase
After 15–20 minutes, the wax is gently removed, and light massage or physiotherapy may follow. - Integration with Rehab
Paraffin therapy is often followed by mobilization exercises, stretching, or manual therapy for best results.
