During paraffin wax therapy, the warm wax is applied to the desired area, such as your hands or feet. As the wax cools, it creates a warm, soothing sensation. The heat helps to increase blood flow to the area, which can relieve pain and relax muscles. Additionally, the wax acts as a barrier, trapping moisture in your skin and leaving it feeling soft and moisturised.
Paraffin wax therapy is commonly used for conditions such as arthritis, joint pain, muscle stiffness, and dry skin. It can also be a relaxing and enjoyable way to pamper yourself or relieve stress.
We use paraffin wax as a stand alone treatment or it with a relaxing massage or a facial treatment.
We will simply chat with you to find out what symptoms you have and what body part you want to have treated (hands or feet). The hand or feet will be submerged in warm wax, then the area will be wrapped for comfort and relaxation. Once wrapped we can perform some relaxing massage as part of the treatment.
It’s not unusual to feel some benefit straight away however the treatment effects may be short lasting and repeated treatments are recommended for symptom relief and in combination with other treatment modalities.
A paraffin wax treatment is £50 as a stand alone treatment and can also be added to a facial or other treatment for an additional fee upon discussion with your therapist.
Natasha Bondu2025-01-28 Excellent service, everyone is very nice and helpful! Shreya has been great in particular! Tomasz Milenda2025-01-20 I recently visited Wandsworth Physiotherapy & Osteopathy and was thoroughly impressed with the professional and attentive service. The team there, particularly my therapist, was knowledgeable and genuinely interested in understanding my specific needs to tailor their treatment effectively. Their approach not only addressed my immediate concerns but also equipped me with valuable insights and exercises to help prevent future issues. The atmosphere was welcoming and calming, which made each session something to look forward to. I highly recommend their services to anyone seeking top-notch physiotherapy or osteopathy care in the area. Georgia Dent2025-01-17 I have only had absolutely fantastic experiences at Wordsworth physiotherapy. Whenever I have gone in with an injury, they have genuinely treated it and made it better. On Wednesday I went in to see the fantastic Kirsty after injuring both my knees running, after 30 minutes with her and the treatment she did I went home and by Friday I was back in the gym completely better, she was genuinely magical. I won’t go and see any other physiotherapist from now on, they are incredible! Curtis Bell2025-01-17 Thank you Shreya! I've really enjoyed working with you and the sessions (including acupuncture) were fantastic and have significantly improved my lower back pain. And thank you for the personalized exercise program after each session! Fi Walford2025-01-16 Steve asked excellent questions and assessed the injury thoroughly, and then talked me through the issues and really helped to both ease the issue and help me to sort it out myself with gently exercise - highly recommend. Harlee Clark2025-01-12 Steve is a wizard. Thorough process to fix injured tendon from over lifting. Great use of science/metrics and traditional methods to bring me back inline. Isabelle Maratier2025-01-11 Great team of physios, Prarthi helped me get my knee back into shape, and very encouraging! Anjlee Patel2025-01-08 I had a great experience with Shreya, following persistent neck pain/soreness. She was attentive and thorough in her investigation and I saw improvements after the first session. Very friendly reception staff and overall positive experience. Maja Jovicevic2025-01-07 Khush listened to my problems and helped. She was gentle but able to apply pressure. I had very bad lower back pain due to hereditary degeneration of my lower disks but after 1 session I was able to walk without tears. Khush was also willing to try out holistic methods such as cupping and lastly gave me a detailed workout/core strengthening plan which is actually challenging!Google rating score: 4.9 of 5, based on 354 reviewsVerified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
