What is the use of wax in physiotherapy?

Does wax help with healing?
Paraffin Wax Treatment promotes relaxation and relieves pain and stiffness. The heat reduces tension and improves the extensibility of muscles and increases the flexibility of ligaments and tendons. The treatment also increases the circulation due to dilation of the blood vessels which speeds up the healing process.
Can you reuse paraffin wax?
Paraffin wax is left to act for around fifteen minutes and then peeled off. It cannot be reused, so conduct the treatment and discard it. To wrap up the treatment, a layer of deeply hydrating and moisturizing lotion can be applied.
Is paraffin wax healthy?
