Hi Nige.
I have had a couple of goes at the wax treatment. It's bliss while the hands are in the wax and a little while afterwards too.. You can buy the machines too. Not sure about price as I haven't bought one as I would need a bath sized one for all of my joints
I also do excersises with my fingers to keep em supple..
Eg.. touching the end of each finger with my thumb.. And repeating.
Best of luckMe-Tony

I had this treatment in hospital many years ago. As Tony says, it's soothing but quite short-lived in the relief it gives, as are most treatments. I know one or two on here have tried it. I honestly don't know whether or not you might get the same benefit from just bathing them, alternately, in hot then cold water. I believe this increases the circulation which can help.
The exercises Tony mentioned are good as they keep all joints moving not just the ones we use most in daily life.If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.
