Primary Uses and Benefits
The primary function of the Therabath 2375 is to provide moist heat therapy using melted paraffin wax, which is beneficial for both therapeutic relief and skin conditioning.
1. Therapeutic Pain and Stiffness Relief (Thermotherapy)
Symptomatic Relief: Provides drug-free, penetrating heat that is effective in the temporary relief of pain and stiffness.
Joint Conditions: Recommended for pain caused by arthritis, bursitis, and chronic joint inflammation.
Muscle and Tissue: Helps to relax tight and achy muscles, ease muscle spasms, and relieve stiffness.
Rehabilitation: Often used in physical and occupational therapy protocols:
Increases blood flow (circulation) to the treated area.
Warms an area of the body prior to other therapies or exercise (e.g., post-fracture or post-dislocation treatment).
Increases range of motion.
2. Skin Conditioning and Moisturizing
Softens Skin: The warm paraffin draws moisture from within the body to the surface, effectively conditioning and moisturizing dry, rough, and cracked skin on the hands, feet, and elbows.
Nourishment: It leaves skin feeling softer and more supple, aiding in conditions like eczema and general dryness.
