This study is being done to test if paraffin wax can be used to improve the range of motion and function for scars across joints when used in combination with scar rehabilitation therapy sessions. For those randomized to receive it, the paraffin wax will be used alongside the participants' exercise therapy treatments. Currently, treatments that are used in addition to rehabilitation therapy for increasing range of motion across joints in the burn population are limited. By getting more information about how paraffin wax may or may not work, patients in the future that have scars may be able to be helped.
