Paraffin therapy is a soothing heat treatment used to relieve pain, improve circulation, and soften the skin. Warm paraffin wax is applied to areas such as the hands, feet, elbows, and joints, providing deep, penetrating heat that relaxes muscles, eases joint stiffness, and nourishes the skin.
Key benefits
- Pain relief and relaxation
- Improved joint mobility

How paraffin therapy works
- Medical-grade wax is melted to a safe, comfortable temperature
- The area is dipped to build a thick, insulating layer
- It's wrapped to retain heat for 10–20 minutes
- As the wax cools it transfers therapeutic heat to muscles and joints
- The wax is gently peeled away, leaving skin hydrated
Conditions treated
- Arthritis (osteoarthritis and rheumatoid)
- Muscle spasms and stiffness
- Chronic joint pain
- Dry, cracked skin on hands and feet
- Tendonitis and bursitis
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
Safety & comfort
Paraffin therapy is safe and well-tolerated by most clients. We control the wax temperature carefully to avoid burns. It may not suit people with open wounds, skin infections, or heat sensitivity — our therapists assess each client's suitability first.
